In great news on the west coast, quarterback Derek Carr provided an encouraging health update on Monday.

Despite Carr breaking his leg in Week 16 and the Raiders falling short in the Wild Card playoff round, their offense finished No. 6 last season. This stands to only improve this year. Carr plays behind one of the best offensive lines — a unit that allowed him to be sacked only 16 times last year. This should equate to more productivity for the young quarterback moving ahead, especially as the line continues to develop continuity.

The young quarterback who is really finding his groove with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. The addition of tight end Jared Cook during the offseason is an intriguing one as well. He should make for a nice option deep down the middle of the field.

And, all eyes and ears will be monitoring the Marshawn Lynch situation. Lynch wants to play for the Raiders, and a deal for Oakland to acquire him in a trade from the Seattle Sehawks could be breaking any day.

With or without Beastmode in Oakland, the Raiders offense should not be underestimated.
