Like I told that other idiot who said he wouldn't trade rosters with KC, this is the APEX of the Carr era raiders. This is the best he'll ever be. It's all downhill from here. So you can either watch this patient bleed out slowly or just euthanize the poor bastard and get on with trying to save someone else. |

McDaniels should've never gotten an NFL job after that shit. Especially with his efforts in Denver and the relative mediocrity he's demonstrated away from Tom Brady. Just a completely asinine hire. |

Now maybe, given that Adams cap hit doesn't really increase much next season, they can get him to restructure for a season and then move on from him the following year. That might make the most sense - you probably don't want to burn the last cheapish year of Adams with a rookie QB before his cap hit goes up to $25 million. But like I said - that just feels like delaying the inevitable. What looks like it will be BETTER for them next year? What young ascending talent do they have? Crosby will still be good - but he'll cost 3 times as much with a $20 million cap hit next season vs. 6 this year. Chandler Jones goes from 32 to 33 years old and his cap hit goes from $8 million to $19 million. Kolten Miller's in his prime but his cap hit goes from $7 million to $18 million. Renfrow goes from $3.5 million to $14 million. And there's no way out on those guys. Crosby, Jones, Miller and Renfrow will cost $47 million MORE on their cap next season than they do this season and at best you'll get the same level of play from them (and probably reduced play from Jones). Go ahead and re-structure if you'd like - you're just moving that pain down the road so you can feel it as Adams is aging and getting more expensive and Carr DEFINITELY needs to cut or be restructured as his base salary passes $40 million. The Raiders are ****ED. Just absolutely properly ****ed. They pushed a ton of chips in for this season and it is NOT going well. |

Jesus tapdancing Christ, Raiders - what did you do?!?!
They have $42 million in dead money on their cap this year. Because of that they only have $144 million in active player contracts on this year's cap and STILL only created $9 million in rollover. Because of that god-awful amount of dead cap, they had to structure these deals to play money into next year. In 2023, because of those raises, they have $172 million already committed to plays and STILL have $23 million in remaining dead money for nearly $200 million committed to next year's cap as it presently stands with only 30 players under contract. They're sitting in an almost identical cap situation to us right now but that's without easy money like cutting Frank Clark sitting out there. Meanwhile, they don't have any 'value' players on their roster starting as early as next season. That team is an absolute ****ing mess. I can't see a way forward that doesn't include cutting Carr. If they keep him, they're bringing back this same shit sandwich of a team with no meaningful areas on improvement that can be expected. |

Cut Carr and draft a rookie QB. They will have a high pick.

Which means there's about a 30% chance the Raiders do it. If I'm betting, I'm guessing they turn that $32 million in base that Carr is owed next season into a signing bonus that spreads the hit out. I'm betting they give him a 4 year 'extension' that takes his base down to near $1 million and spreads the remainder over 4 years (so $8 million/yr). In exchange for doing so, I'm betting Carr gets additional guarantees on his 2024 salary thus tying him and Adams together for 2 more years. His cap hit falls from $33 million to $10 million next season, spikes to $50 odd million in 2024 (with probably $30 million or so of dead money) and then he gets cut at the same time Adams does. They are in a rough spot here. |
