Back to EpisodesRaiders Rebuild: Massive Cap Space, Top Picks
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders, led by new head coach Klint Kubiak, are embarking on a comprehensive roster overhaul following a challenging season. Theyve traded star edge rusher Maxx Crosby and released quarterback Geno Smith, freeing up over $120 million in salary cap space, the most in the league this offseason. The Crosby trade alone saves around $30 million and lands them the fourteenth overall pick this year, along with first-round selections in 2026 and 2027. This bold move signals a commitment to starting anew, as Crosby, despite his five consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, only reached the playoffs once. The Raiders plan to draft Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and potentially sign veteran free agents like edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, positioning them for a transformative overhaul.
