The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Wednesday its list of 128 modern-era players nominated for the Hall’s Class of 2026.
On that list, 11 players that previously donned the Silver and Black are in consideration for induction.
Of the 128 nominees, 13 are in their first year of eligibility, including former Raiders tight end Jason Witten. He played in Las Vegas during his final season of his career in 2020, after spending 16 seasons with 11 Pro Bowl selections for the Dallas Cowboys. In his lone season with the Raiders, Witten caught two touchdowns.
Next up in the process, a Screening Committee will reduce the list to 50 with those results announced in mid-October. Then, the full 50-person Hall of Fame Selection Committee will reduce the list to 25 Semifinalists and then eventually 15 Modern-Era Player Finalists who will be discussed at the annual selection meeting ahead of Super Bowl LX.
The Class of 2026 can consist of three, four or five Modern-Era Players under the Hall of Fame’s bylaws.
The 11 nominated Raiders are listed below in alphabetical order. For the full list of nominees, click here.
