The 2005 Oakland Raiders season was the franchise's 36th season in the National Football League (NFL), the 46th overall, and the 11th back in Oakland. They were unable to improve upon their previous season's output of 5–11, instead only going 4–12.^[1] The team finished the season on a six-game losing streak.

The Raiders acquired Randy Moss from the Minnesota Vikings in a trade for linebacker Napoleon Harris and a first-round draft pick. The acquisition of Moss sought to help with the team's struggling receiving corps for the past two years. However, Moss struggled in his first season with the Raiders, and he finished the season with only 60 receptions.

Offseason

The Raiders acquired running back LaMont Jordan and defensive end Derrick Burgess in free agency.
