The Las Vegas Raiders are committed to spending when it comes to pass catchers.
Recently, NFL analyst Warren Sharp recently sent out a Tweet looking at how expensive each team’s wide receiver room is, and the Raiders’ receiver room was the second-most expensive.
The Raiders have allocated $43 million of their cap space to their wide receivers. Only their division rival, the Denver Broncos, is spending more on their receivers at $44 million.
Adams is taking up most of the cap at the wide receiver position. But not too far behind is Hunter Renfrow who takes up $13 million.
After Renfrow, it is Jakobi Meyers who takes up $7.3 million in the cap, and no other Raiders receiver counts for more than $1.5 million.
The Raiders are spending a bunch of money at wide receiver, which is fine if the organization had a quarterback that was good enough to take the team over the hump.
So, as it seems, the Raiders are continuing to pay the wrong position when they are in desperate need of a face-of-the-franchise quarterback.
