Marcus Epps, another pivotal safety, has also left the Raiders, further complicating the team's defensive strategy moving forward. His absence underscores the Raiders' intent to overhaul their defensive backfield.

Marcus Epps signs a one-year, $4.4 million deal with the Patriots, bringing experience and a potential immediate impact to the secondary, despite a previous season-ending injury.

Marcus Epps is another key free agent the Raiders are considering re-signing. His contributions to the team’s defense have been noted, and retaining him could bolster their secondary significantly.

Marcus Epps' injury opened the door for Isaiah Pola-Mao to shine last season. Epps was initially a starting safety, but his ACL tear in Week 3 allowed Pola-Mao to step in and make an impact.

Marcus Epps, returning from a torn ACL, has been a solid contributor but his future with the Raiders is uncertain given his injury and contract situation. The team may consider alternatives.
