It can be interesting to see where the emphasis lies on a team. Especially when you compare that spending to what kind of production the team is getting from that side of the ball. For the Raiders, the ratio of their 2018 salary cap is heavily weighted to the offense, and it has showed in the lack of returns they have gotten on the defensive side of the ball. In other words; you get what you pay for.
The offense is currently responsible for over $115 million of the team’s salary cap spending according to OverTheCap.
