As many NFL teams continue to prepare for training camp, rosters are being filled out in an effort to try and find the best 53 players for every team. The Oakland Raiders recently signed offensive linemen Richie Incognito for this very reason, but according to one prediction report, ESPN doesn’t seem to think that the veteran player will end up sticking with the team.

According to a recent report on veterans who could possibly be cut by their team, ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez noted that Incognito could be someone who isn’t on the team by the time the regular season begins.

Gutierrez notes that if Incognito can stay useful and “keep his nose clean,” that the Raiders will likely keep him. However, with a litany of off the field issues, and noted problems on the field, that might be tough.

If he keeps his nose clean and plays as well as he did in 2017, before his one-year retirement, he is the Raiders' starting left guard. No question about it. But with a litany of on- and off-field transgressions, as well as being on a vet's minimum one-year prove-it deal, his margin for error is razor thin after surprisingly signing with Oakland on May 28. “Hopefully Richie finds his stride here, like he had a couple years ago,” said Raiders coach Jon Gruden. “Because when he's right, he's one of the best in football.” Hey, as general manager Mike Mayock said, “You can't have all boy scouts.”

Of course, Incognito has managed to stick around the league so long thanks to his skill. While Jon Gruden would likely want a veteran presence in a young Raiders locker room, it’s hard to predict whether or not Incognito will have the same success he’s had in the past.

The opportunity to start is there for Incognito, but he’ll have to stay out of his own way to earn it, which has proven to be hard for the linemen.
