If you're the Raiders with as big a need at wide receiver as they have, you don't come out of free agency and head into the draft without making a move. Even with a considerable amount of cap room, the Raiders approached free agency conservatively. They chose to spend most of their money on keeping and extending their own players like Maxx Crosby, Adam Butler, and Malcolm Koonce while not dropping any big money on outside free agents.
Well, now is the time teams start getting some better deals on outside free agents still looking for homes.
