Raiders shock the league with massive free agency splashes, including record-setting deals and key defensive reinforcements. See every key signing.
Well, the Las Vegas Raiders mean business.
Day 1 of free agency kicked off in epic fashion for Las Vegas.
The Raiders traded away star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens at the start of March, and then they acquired Buffalo Bills cornerback Taron Johnson before the legal tampering period opened.
Then, things got hectic in Las Vegas, but this time in a good way.
After a busy Day 1 of free agency, here is a rundown of all the moves the Raiders agreed to, and nothing can be made official until Wednesday.
Raiders Bring Back CB Eric Stokes
The Raiders gave Stokes a three-year, $30 million deal. After signing a small deal last offseason, Stokes became a key piece of the defense, and the former first-round pick cashes in big time this offseason.

Raiders Land Star Center Tyler Linderbaum
The Raiders hit a grand slam here. They signed Ravens star center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million deal, giving him the most money ever for a center per season.
He also becomes the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history, and protecting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza is a priority for the franchise.
