HENDERSON, Nev. -- There's a reason the Las Vegas Raiders have an estimated $34.5 million in salary cap space, sixth most in the NFL -- they have a lot of open roster spots.
As we wrote earlier this week, the Raiders have 27 of their own unrestricted free agents to sift through and needs at virtually every level of their depth chart. That won't preclude Las Vegas general manager Dave Ziegler and coach Josh McDaniels from doing a little off-site shopping, though. In fact, they could make a splash, or six, on the open market when free agency officially gets under way March 15.
