The Oakland Raiders have money to spend this offseason, and they may want to break the bank for these three free agents.

The biggest offseason in recent memory is about the take place for the Oakland Raiders in 2019. Jon Gruden has put the onus fully on himself to rebuild this organization and bring the Raiders back to relevancy which has alluded them for the better part of 16 years. The team has brought in Mike Mayock to be the general manager with the hope of bringing some much-needed knowledge concerning the draft, but it’s going to start with what they do in free agency.

The Raiders rank fifth regarding available cap space going into this offseason and if they have any hopes of impressing their Las Vegas fans in 2020 they need to start bringing in better players quickly. The rookies from this upcoming and previous class are certainly going to have a big impact, however, teams that heavily rely on players that young do not tend to win. So signing some veterans who are in their prime or on the cusp of it needs to be a high priority.

There is no doubt that a lot of money gets thrown around during free agency and overpaying is part of the process. Some players are worth the price tag while others have miracle working agents, so who exactly should the Raiders be willing to give good money or even break the bank for?

With the cap increasing who knows if these contracts will even look as big in a few years, but at the moment here are three players I think are worth big contracts from the Oakland Raiders.
