The Oakland Raiders and all other NFL clubs around the league have now be informed of the potential salary cap increase for the 2020 season.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the cap could land anywhere from $196.8 million to $201.2 million. That would be an increase of at least $8 million over the previous number for this season.
According to OverTheCap.com, the Raiders’ current total liabilities for next season are roughly $147 million, giving the team around $73 million in cap space.
Luckily for Oakland, the team doesn’t have a ton of free agents that need to be signed this offseason. However, players such as Karl Joseph, Daryl Worley, and Richie Incognito could be players the team would like to retain this offseason.
With the Raiders scheduled to have so much cap space entering the 2020 offseason, look for the team to be very aggressive in free agency once again. Expect Oakland to target several defenders, specifically on the defensive line and at linebacker.
