Riley

The veteran started three games for the Raiders last year after starting 16 games for the Giants as a free safety in 2018. Riley could end up playing free safety for Pittsburgh, which didn’t address the position during the offseason.

Riley was an every-down player for the Giants in 2018 but struggled to get on the field for the Raiders last season. He is veteran depth who figures to be on the outside looking in of a 53-man roster spot.

Riley started all 16 games for the G-Men last year, playing the fourth-most snaps among all safeties in the league. He picked off four passes but also received dreadful marks from Pro Football Focus, finishing as their No. 85 safety out of 89 qualifiers. He was particularly poor against the run. With Lamarcus Joyner expected to be the Raiders’ primary nickel corner, Riley may play significant snaps on the back end next to Karl Joseph.
