The Oakland Raiders have plenty of money to play with in free agency, so here are a few players they should take a look at.

Given the events of this year, the offseason cannot come quick enough for the Oakland Raiders. Once a team that looked to be on the rise is now in the midst of yet another rebuild with the promise from the front office that this is the one that will finally work.

Time will only tell with this team, but the first step starts with this next year’s free agency. Oakland currently has a little under $80 million in cap space to work with next season and have plenty of holes to fill. It is not always wise to spend heavily in free agency, but there are a good amount of young players that can be part of this rebuild.

Here are five players I think can fit that mold.
