5 great right tackle options on market with Raiders set to add $20 million under the cap

We tend to think of free agency having a couple of waves that happen back in March. But there’s another wave that is building strength as we speak. This one crashes on the shore on June 1. This offseason the Raiders made a few cuts, some to save cap money, some to simply let go of unproductive players. A couple of those cuts left a scar — specifically the releases of Cory Littleton and Carl Nassib. But in order to limit the bleeding in the short term, they gave those players a post-June 1 cut designation. This means that after June 1, a large portion of the dead money they left behind is moved to next year’s cap, which in turn frees up that money right now. It’s no small amount, either. The Raiders will see their available money under the cap go up nearly $20 million after June 1 — $19.75 to be exact — raising it from the current available amount of around $5 million to over $25 million. One position of great need for the Raiders this offseason which they have not sufficiently addressed is offensive tackle — right tackle specifically. And, as it turns out, there are actually still a lot of solid starting options out there, presumably waiting for this day so teams will have the funds to offer them a suitable salary.

Who Should Be Raiders' 2022 Captains?

With the Las Vegas Raiders' acquisition of big-name veterans this offseason, there's bound to be a significant shift in Las Vegas' leadership ahead of the 2022 season. Derek Carr, Richie Incognito, Alec Ingold, Josh Jacobs, Yannick Ngakoue, Maxx Crosby, and Darren Waller were all voted as the Raiders' team captains for the 2021 season. Ingold is now with the Miami Dolphins, Ngakoue is with the Indianapolis Colts, and Incognito's future in the NFL is currently uncertain.

Raiders Bounce-Back Candidate #2: Johnathan Abram

It could already be said that the writing's on the wall regarding safety Johnathan Abram and his future with the Las Vegas Raiders. That's what can be inferred after the team's new regime of head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler made the decision not to pick up Abram's fifth-year option on his contract. It probably isn't seen as a surprise, though, considering the highs and lows that Abram has gone through with his play.

Raiders Bounce-Back Candidate: Alex Leatherwood

The Las Vegas Raiders have done the work necessary this off-season to say that their group of skill position players is among the best in the NFL. There have been plenty of teams that can say they "won" the off-season, but followed it up with major disappointment once they got on the field. Not to say it will happen to the Raiders, but there are still important areas they need to address as they continue to go through the off-season.

Raiders: New-look defense needs to do a better job with turnovers

The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to generate turnovers on the defensive side of the ball, a trend that needs to change in 2022. When it comes to the 2022 Las Vegas Raiders, the stage is set for what should be an exciting season. The Raiders go into the season fresh off their second playoff appearance since the 2002 NFL season and have bolstered their defense in a big way this offseason.

Clay Travis: “The Raiders are a total mess right now.

Consider: While Las Vegas currently has just more than $6 million in salary-cap space, per ESPN Stats & Information -- only five teams have less -- relief is coming next week. Because with the June 1 designations applied to the March 16 releases of defensive end Carl Nassib and linebacker Cory Littleton, the Raiders will be getting an additional $19.8 million in salary cap space. As a measuring stick, only four teams had more than $20 million in total cap space entering this week.

McDaniels: Team is Starting to Understand the New Verbiage

Working under a new head coach means a change in some procedural things.

Yeah, I'd say the wheel is spinning pretty good right now, and that's just the nature of this time of the year,” McDaniels said after OTAs.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow Named Most Underappreciated Player on Team

The NFL Network released a list on Wednesday of the most underappreciated players on each AFC team. On the list by NFL Network Analytics Expert Cynthia Frelund, she named the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow as the most underappreciated player on the team. Yes, Renfrow is coming off his first career Pro Bowl -- but it's fair to wonder if the former fifth-round pick has been overshadowed in Las Vegas by this offseason's Davante Adams acquisition.

Silver Minings: Derek Carr has checked down at a high rate

The checkdown is often considered a dirty word when it comes to quarterbacking in football. Often, quarterbacks who check the ball down are referred to as a ”Checkdown Charlie” or “Captain Checkdown.

It was the 34-year-old Kaepernick's first workout with an NFL team since his time out of the league began following the 2016 season.

Who are the three most important players for the Raiders?

In a recent article by Ben Linsey of Pro Football Focus, he named each team’s three most important players heading into 2023 season (yes, 2023) and beyond. He factored in position value, age and of course, contract. Most teams have a pretty decent group of three players to build around, but the Raiders have one of the best trios in the NFL in Derek Carr, Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby. Here is what Linsey had to say about that core going into the future: “Adams will once again be catching passes from Carr, who will attempt to recreate the same magic that Aaron Rodgers and Adams had over the last few seasons. This offense desperately needed a player who could win consistently on the outside. Carr ranked first in PFF passing grade on throws between the numbers in 2021 compared to 22nd on throws outside the numbers. Crosby had his full-fledged breakout in 2021. Following two consecutive seasons with sub-70.0 PFF pass-rushing to begin his career, Crosby earned a 91.9 pass-rushing grade in 2021 to go along with a league-high 101 pressures.” All three of these players are elite and are in the primes of their careers. But what’s also encouraging is that you could have easily inserted Kolton Miller, Darren Waller and maybe even Hunter Renfrow into this list and they would have fit. It’s also worth mentioning that the Raiders do have one of the best special teams units in the NFL with Daniel Carlson and A.J. Cole. While they obviously didn’t get mentioned here, those two players helped the Raiders win a bunch of games last season. Over the next few years, the Raiders have to do a better job of surrounding Carr, Adams and Crosby with talent. The overall depth on the roster needs to improve and they could still use two or three more playmakers on defense. But the top-tier players on the Raiders are as good as anyone’s else trio in the NFL. That should give Raiders’ fans a lot of hope as we go into the 2022 and 2023 seasons List 5 wide-open position battles for Raiders Email Sign up Like this article?

Raiders: Bryan Edwards trade and the fight for 3rd WR option

A fresh perspective on why Edwards was dealt Earlier, I touched on how many of Raider Nation believe trading Edwards hints that Las Vegas is in the market for a wideout. Personally, I disagree. It’s my belief that, instead of the Raiders being in the receiver market because they need a replacement for Bryan Edwards, the team traded the former third-round pick due to there now being a crowded receiver room, with a tight battle for the second starting spot on the outside.
