The Las Vegas Raiders released guard Alex Cappa after one underwhelming season, freeing up $13 million in cap space.

The Las Vegas Raiders released guard Alex Cappa, their 2025 $11 million free agent signing, after one season marked by inconsistent play and poor offensive line metrics. Cappa started eight of 17 games, primarily at right guard and center, and the team cited performance and financial efficiency in the move. The release, which carries a $1 million dead cap hit, frees up nearly $13 million in cap space as the Raiders restructure their roster under new GM John Spytek. The team plans to target veteran offensive linemen in free agency, including potential interest in center Tyler Linderbaum, now with the Chicago Bears after a trade from New England.
