The Las Vegas Raiders will have a busy offseason with $99.5 million cap space to work with and plenty of free agents. Highlighting one of Las Vegas’ defensive team needs is secondary since their pass defense ranked middle of the pack in receptions, receiving yards, passing touchdowns, and interceptions. The Raiders will have four key defensive backs set to hit free agency, including their former undrafted free agent, who had a solid third season.
