The Las Vegas Raiders went into the 2023 NFL offseason shedding quarterback Derek Carr and with a need to improve the defense.
Yet, Las Vegas still spent much of its offseason working on the offseason and still has an extremely offense-first mentality when it comes to its spending. According to Over The Cap (via the Associated Press) the Raiders, after setting their initial 53-man roster Tuesday, are spending the third most cap room on offense in the NFL, while spending the 28th most on defense.

The Raiders have one of the most expensive receivers rooms in the NFL with superstar Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers (a free-agent pickup this offseason) and Hunter Renfrow all having strong deals.
