The 2024 offseason signifies the inaugural opportunity for a new leadership team to make its mark on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster…
Antonio Pierce has already left a positive impression on the field during his stint as an interim head coach. His performance was commendable enough to secure the full-time role. However, the recent hiring of new general manager Tom Telesco, succeeding Dave Ziegler after Champ Kelly’s interim tenure, adds a fresh perspective to the Raiders’ management.
The initial challenge for this new duo will be navigating through free agency. The Raiders have essential positions to address as they head into March. While certain needs are expected to be met through the draft, there are others that would benefit from the addition of experienced veterans to the roster.
Given the news of the NFL salary cap rising to $255.4 million this offseason, the Raiders find themselves with approximately $55.5 million in available space. Even after factoring in the funds required for signing the draft class, retaining free agents, and setting aside for an in-season budget, there remains a considerable budget to address key necessities.
The following contracts are worth considering, assuming these players become available on the market.
