Lester Hayes, Jim Plunkett among 12 Raiders named Senior nominees for Hall of Fame Class of 2026

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has released its list of 162 players nominated for the Hall of Fame's Class of 2026 in the Seniors category.

Of those 162 players, 12 have played for the Silver and Black. Eleven of those 12 were previously Senior nominees for the Class of 2025 as well.

To be considered in this group, each former player last could have appeared in a professional football game in the 2000 season.

Once the separate Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee makes additional reductions in several increments, the Seniors Screening Committee will reduce the list down to 50 players in the coming weeks before the Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee selects three Seniors as Finalists for possible election for the Class of 2026.

Below is a rundown of the Raiders' nominees. Click here for the full list.
