The Hawks should be all over this player.
BIGGEST SURPRISE: RODNEY HUDSON, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Grade: 73.6
For years, Hudson has been the best pass-protecting center in the NFL. To put it into perspective, Hudson allowed a pressure rate of 1.0% from 2015 to 2019, while the next-lowest pressure rate allowed at the position (Brandon Linder, 1.8%) was nearly twice as high. That's the lead-in to what made his 2020 season surprising. Hudson actually graded higher as a run-blocker this season (72.7) than as a pass-blocker (70.0). It wasn't a bad season for Hudson by any means, simply a departure from what we've seen from him for the past decade.

Does he have injury concerns?
Age starting to impact his play?
Banned substance issues?
Legal issues?
Conflict with coaches/front office?
Something else?
I haven't watched any tape on him from last season but found this in PFF:

Sort of curious if this in some way ties in to a RW trade. Maybe Seattle wanted Hudson but didn't want to have to pay the guaranteed salary for 2021. Raiders cut him as part of a "wink wink" deal and Seattle picks him up for a smaller cap hit plus no comp pick penalty.
