Las Vegas Raiders must invest their cap space on defense

In Jon Gruden's second year back on the sideline, the Oakland Raiders improved from four wins in 2018 to seven in 2019. Although, they did see a three game improvement, the Raiders still have many areas to improve in order to make a considerable playoff push.

When looking around the NFL in regards to teams that made substantial improvements, one common area was landing proven free agents on the defensive side of the ball. Teams such as the San Fransisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs both brought in talent to upgrade their defensive unit and it resulted in paying large dividends — earning a trip to Super Bowl 54.
