During the 1970s, the Raiders were a force to be reckoned with. Under the brilliant and often exuberant coaching of John Madden, Oakland never had a losing season.

The player you select had to play in at least one regular season game from 1970 to 1979. Also, indicate which player at the same or equivalent position you would release to make room on the current 53-man roster?
