After the Raiders traded starting guard Kelechi Osemele to the Jets, free agent G Jon Feliciano was a candidate to be re-signed and become a starter in Oakland. Coach Jon Gruden can scratch that option off the list. Feliciano agreed to a deal with the Bills Tuesday.
A fourth-round pick out of Miami in 2015, Feliciano suited up for 48 games as a Raider, starting eight times. He never got the chance to try his luck as a starter in Oakland after former general manager Reggie McKenzie signed Osemele. Guard Gabe Jackson, another McKenzie selection, is still under contract and will start again in 2019.
The Raiders will have options for their other starting guard, with multiple selections in the upcoming draft and ample salary cap space. There’s already a strong candidate on the roster in guard Denzelle Good. Oakland signed him to a one-year extension earlier this month.
