Just over $52 million or just under $43 million.
That’s the estimated cap space the Las Vegas Raiders have to work with after the NFL announced another record salary cap ceiling of $255.4 million last Friday. That $30.6 million boost in spending represents a 13.61 percent increase in the previous record of $224.8 million set just last season, meaning business is booming in for the National Football League.
The higher-than-expected cap number leaves several teams with ample operating room even more flush with coin and the Silver & Black is one of those teams. Depending on which group you look at, Las Vegas’ projected cap room varies.
