Free agency is an exciting time for NFL teams, as they look to make moves, improve their roster, and strategically manage their salary cap. During this period, teams can negotiate and sign contracts with unrestricted free agents, who have played out their contracts and can now test the open market. With the first week of free agency coming to a close, let\u2019s dive into the teams with the most cap space remaining (according to Spotrac<\/a>) and the potential moves they could make.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jimmy G is officially in black and silver \u2620\ufe0f<\/p>\n (via @Raiders<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/KhBex8sn5s<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) March 17, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Las Vegas Raiders, after losing Derek Carr, recently signed Jimmy Garoppolo to fill the void at quarterback. With $16.5 million in cap space remaining, the Raiders have the fifth most cap room in the NFL<\/a>, and can still afford to add a few more pieces to their roster.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve already brought in Jakobi Meyers at wide receiver, but they could likely use some help at offensive tackle and linebacker. With enough room in their budget, the Raiders are in a good position to bring in a couple of key pieces to strengthen their team.<\/p>\n The Green Bay Packers and former quarterback Aaron Rodgers have officially parted ways, leaving the team to move forward with Jordan Love as their signal-caller. However, the Packers need to surround Love with weapons to succeed, making tight ends and wide receivers their top priorities.<\/p>\n Jordan Love learned this from someone, I just can\u2019t put my finger on it.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/Pp2bNM4Pqa<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Matthew John B (@Matthew_Bassham) February 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With $21 million in cap space, the Packers could target players like Adam Thielen and Dalton Schultz to bolster their offense.<\/p>\n The Atlanta Falcons, with a whopping $22.6 million in cap space, have a lot of work to do to improve their roster. Their defense struggled mightily last season, ranking near the bottom of the league in various metrics.<\/p>\n The Falcons will likely focus on upgrading their pass rush and secondary, as these were two significant weaknesses. With plenty of cap room, the Falcons have the flexibility to make impactful signings to bolster their roster.<\/p>\n Falcons to sign safety Jessie Bates III to 4-year, $64M deal.

After stripping the team in 2022, the Bears now have a massive $38.8 million in cap space to acquire talent through both the draft and free agency. This financial flexibility puts the Bears in a strong position to build a competitive roster around their young signal-caller.<\/p>\n They traded down from one in the NFL<\/a> draft and got some help at wide receiver in DJ Moore. They also acquired some nice draft capital from the Panthers, and Bears fans will be hoping they put that to good use over the next couple of seasons.<\/p>\n JUSTIN FIELDS GOT HIS WR1 \ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/kHbUDzGtI8<\/a><\/p>\n5.
