The Raiders head into Las Vegas with a lot of eyes on them. If the team wants to live up to expectations, they are going to need to add some key pieces this offseason.
The Las Vegas Raiders exceeded expectations last season but still came up short of the playoffs. The team is just a few key pieces away from being a playoff team in 2020, and with a number of draft picks and over $50,000,000 in cap space, the Raiders have the ability to go big.
Let’s take a look at the best potential lineup for the Raiders in 2020.
Current 2020 Cap Room- $51,803, 096
Quarterback
Tom Brady (Free Agent)
The Raiders will likely role with Derek Carr in 2020, and although I have my doubts about Tom Brady being the best move for the Raiders, it is unlikely that he would have a negative effect on the team.
Brady will likely be expensive, but if they bring him in, the Raiders will likely move Carr. Hopefully, the team can get some solid draft picks out of Carr, and potentially use one of them to draft a young QB to sit behind Brady for a couple years.
Although Brady may not be what he once was, he will attract attention to the team, bring in other free agents, and bring a winning mentality to the team that the Raiders have not had for a long time. Brady may not be better than Carr at this point in his career, but I still believe he gives the Raiders a better chance to win.
