2011-12 Roster
2011-12 Oakland Raiders offseason roster
Latest updates:
January 31: Add HC Dennis Allen, and congratulations! The assistant churn has reportedly claimed Mike Waufle and John Fassel, but both are unconfirmed, so I’m going to wait.
February 1: Add OC Greg Knapp, back for a second go-round. No word on what becomes of Al Saunders.
February 3: Add seven assistant coaches, some new, some retained. Update: Add an eighth and delete Adam Henry, who was announced as LSU’s new WR coach.
