The Raiders declined the fifth-year option of Clelin Ferrell just a few weeks ago, which seemed like a foregone conclusion. Ferrell failed to start in any game in 2021 and only played 261 total snaps on defense.
Going into the final year of his rookie contract, it seems pretty likely that he won’t be given a chance to compete for a starting job again as the team added Chandler Jones this offseason.
So what should the Raiders do with the former Clemson defensive end? There has been some talk about him playing more as a five-technique (base 3-4 end) or more as an inside pass-rusher on passing down. But would he benefit more from a change in scenery altogether?
