The 2013 season was the Oakland Raiders' 44th in the National Football League (NFL), their 54th overall and their second under head coach Dennis Allen. With a 4–12 record, the Raiders secured their eleventh consecutive non-winning season, and missed the playoffs for an eleventh consecutive season. The Raiders entered the season with a new quarterback in Terrelle Pryor. Pryor started off the season in impressive fashion, with the team almost pulling off the upset in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, and defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. The team and Pryor eventually cooled down, resulting in Pryor being benched for Matt McGloin in the game against the Houston Texans. Before this game, history was made in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles when Eagles quarterback Nick Foles threw seven touchdown passes, the most passing touchdowns the Raiders had ever allowed in its history. Prior to the season starting, the Raiders brought back defensive back Charles Woodson, who spent the last 7 years with the Green Bay Packers.
2013 draft class
Notes
- ^[a] The Raiders traded their first-round selection (No. 3 overall) to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the Dolphins' first- (No. 12 overall) and second- (No. 42 overall) round selections.
- ^[b] The Raiders traded their original second-round selection (No. 37 overall) to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for quarterback Carson Palmer.
- ^[c] The Raiders traded their fourth-round selection (No. 100 overall) to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for the Buccaneers' fourth- (No. 112 overall) and sixth- (No. 181) round selections.
- ^[d] The Raiders acquired an additional sixth-round selection — No. 176 overall, along with a conditional 2014 selection in a trade that sent quarterback Carson Palmer and one of their seventh-round selections (No. 219 overall; previously acquired in a trade that sent wide receiver Louis Murphy to the Carolina Panthers) to the Arizona Cardinals. The Raiders later traded the No. 176 selection to the Houston Texans in exchange for the Texans' sixth (No. 184 overall) and seventh- (No. 233 overall) round selections.
- ^[e] Compensatory selection.
The Raiders did not have a selection in the fifth round, as they traded their fifth-round selection (No. 138 overall) to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for linebacker Aaron Curry.
