Best fits for Jordan Poyer in free agency: 3. Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders check a lot of the boxes for Poyer. There is no state income tax in Nevada. They have warm weather. They need a safety, and they have a lot of cap space.

After acquiring Davante Adams and Chandler Jones, the Raiders were mentioned as a potential contender in the AFC last season, but they fell short of expectations, finishing with a 6-11 record.

I expect the Raiders to be aggressive again this offseason. They have approximately $46.28 million in cap space and 11 draft picks.

The Raiders need help in the secondary. Last season, their defense allowed a passer rating of 98.8, which was the highest in the NFL. The Raiders’ current starting strong safety is Roderic Teamer, and he is set to become a restricted free agent.

Poyer would immediately elevate the Raiders’ secondary.

Poyer to the Raiders would make a lot of sense for both sides.
