Oakland Raiders: 3 Bargains to target in 2019 NFL free agency
By Cory Kinnan
As legal tampering is set to begin, here are three bargains that the Oakland Raiders could pursue once 2019 NFL free agency officially opens.
Bargains are not something that the Oakland Raiders necessarily need to worry about as they enter the legal tampering period of free agency with nearly $60 million in cap space. Even after taking on new wide receiver Antonio Brown’s $15.15 million contract, Jon Gruden, Mike Mayock and company have plenty of cash to blow once free agency officially begins on Wedneday.
However, with the rumors floating around that the team may also make a strong run at Le’Veon Bell, the Raiders will be allocating an additional $15 million or more to that scenario. With quite a few holes to fill, Oakland could look at the clearance rack for some discounted free agents as well as adding star power.
Good news for the Raiders: There are a ton of young and talented prospects who are hoping for a bigger role in their next job, and Oakland may just be the place for them. Given that these players did not produce exponentially in their previously crowded rooms, their price tag should also be relatively low.
Here are three bargains that the Raiders could take a deep look at once free agency opens to help plug some holes along their roster for the 2019 season and possibly beyond.
