The Raiders have made significant investments in free agency, securing the most salary-cap space in the NFL. Several players have agreed to deals, including three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum, linebacker Quay Walker, linebacker Nakobe Dean, and kicker Matt Gay. The deals are expected to give the team a strong start to turning around, despite a 3-14 loss last season and not a playoff game in over two decades. The Raiders entered free agency with nearly $112 million in cap space, also have the No. 1 overall draft pick, and are widely expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. The team also has the 14th selection after trading defensive end Maxx Crosby to Baltimore.
