While the Las Vegas Raiders made one big splash signing in Christian Wilkins earlier this offseason, the Raiders were relatively quiet during free agency in the spring. Also, the front office used a post-June 1 designation to release Jimmy Garoppolo which will reportedly clear $24 million of cap space next month.
According to Over The Cap, Las Vegas currently has just over $17 million available, meaning the organization will have roughly $41 million of cap space once Grappolo’s contract comes off the books.
Presumptively, a good portion of those funds will go toward extensions for guys currently on the roster, but which players are most likely going to receive a big payday?
