Parker was re-signed by the then-new Las Vegas brass last free agency to a one-year deal. he had a chance to start, but he injured his triceps in August and was lost for the season. Parker, a third-round pick in 2018, has been mostly a backup in his NFL career. He has 32 starts in four seasons with the Raiders.
Parker, 27, will likely be a swing backup tackle for the Raiders if he makes the team. las Vegas is expected to add multiple tackles this offseason as they need to find a starting right tackle. Jermaine Eluemunor, who started at right tackle, is a free agent and he could be brought back.
Las Vegas also may try to sign a veteran such as Kelvin Beachum of Arizona or Kaleb McGary of Atlanta.
