Raiders' Depth Chart, Salary Cap after Jimmy Garoppolo, Jakobi Meyers Contracts

The Las Vegas Raiders added another weapon to their offense on Tuesday with the reported addition of receiver Jakobi Meyers.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the 26-year-old has agreed to a three-year deal with Las Vegas worth $33 million. It comes after signing quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $67.5 million deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Raiders entered Tuesday with a projected $23.6 million in cap space, per Spotrac, and should still have about $12.6 million after the Meyers deal. It also greatly improves their depth chart offensively.

Many NFL fans were speculating that the Raiders would add a high-profile quarterback this offseason after releasing Derek Carr, with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson among the names being considered.

The organization went in a different direction, though, saving significant cap space with the addition of Garoppolo:

The deal also provides an opening for the Raiders to find a long-term solution at quarterback through the draft, where they currently hold the No. 7 overall pick.

No matter who is under center next season, they will have a lot of weapons around them offensively.

Davante Adams remains one of the best receivers in the NFL, earning first-team All-Pro honors last year with 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns. Meyers provides a quality secondary downfield option after finishing last year with 67 catches for 804 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games.

Meyers also has familiarity with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels, who was his offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots from 2019-21.

If Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow can bounce back from injury-filled seasons, the Raiders could have one of the league's top selection of pass-catchers. Add in Josh Jacobs to the backfield, and this could be an exciting offense in 2023.

Now, the challenge for Las Vegas is using its remaining cap space to find defensive upgrades.
