The 2005 Oakland Raiders season was the franchise's 36th season in the National Football League (NFL), the 46th overall, the 11th back in Oakland, and the second and final under head coach Norv Turner. 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. Also signing running back Lamont Jordan to help improve the running game as Tyrone Wheatley retired in the offseason.

Offseason

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