Breaking down five free agents the Oakland Raiders must sign this March.

Given their estimated $71 million in cap space this offseason, the Oakland Raiders are projected to spend a good chunk of change in free agency. Something that even though they have been in this position before means Oakland actually has the potential to lure some top-tier free agents.

Though Oakland has had a significant amount of cap space in previous years, they have struggled to bring in big name free agents due to the surplus of holes in their roster. Now that the Raiders have seemingly added some franchise pieces (e.g. Derek Carr, Khalil Mack, Amari Cooper), GM Reggie McKenzie and company should have a realistic opportunity to bring in some productive free agents in 2016.

Here is a look at five free agents Oakland must make an effort to sign come March 9.
