Decision day for Wimbley, Raiders
By Steve Corkran
Monday, March 12th, 2012 at 12:43 pm in Oakland Raiders.
On a day in which 28 teams received $1.6 million in additional salary cap space as a result of transgressions by the Redskins and Cowboys, the Raiders are busy worrying about some final manueverings before the start of free agency.
Naturally, the most-pressing decision is whether to honor the $11 million salary for outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley or just sever ties, eat $6.5 million of guaranteed money for 2012 and be satisfied with a $4.5 million saving this season alone.
Wimbley’s agent, Joe Linta, said Sunday that he hasn’t received a call from the Raiders of late and that he hasn’t made any to general manager Reggie McKenzie.
In other words, McKenzie isn’t interested in redoing Wimbley’s deal, at least before free agency starts, or else he wouldn’t have waited this long. Free agency commences Tuesday.
The NFL punished the Redskins and Cowboys for front-loading contracts in 2010 during an uncapped year, which resulted in the Cowboys losing $10 million in cap space and the Redskins $36 million, according to an ESPN report.
In turn, 29 teams received an additional $1.6 million in cap room. The Raiders and Saints are the only two teams unaffected by the league’s ruling. Presumably, the Raiders and Saints also were guilty, just to a far-lesser degree.

Man, good thing we didn’t lose $36 million in cap room, lol.
We would have had to shed like $60 million in salaries.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
So the cap just went up to $122.2 for everyone but the Raiders and Saints, Merry Christmas everyone else. We get a traditional coal in our stocking.

“Hey Robert welcome to Washington, here are the new receivers we got you….”
- No one
March 12th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
With every year, there is another major blunder by the Washington front office.
Sorry RGIII, but if Snyder and the Redskins are making their move for you, history just shows you won’t be very good.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Redskins lose $36 million in cap space
Welcome to Washington RG3, we were going to get you Vincent Jackson. Now you’ll have nothing and like it.
***
No kidding!
how much cap space are the Skins down to?
March 12th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
At least RGIII wont cost them more than a fully guaranteed $24 mill over 4 years, instead of the Bradford type 6 year 80 million they used to have to shell out.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
I think with their blatant flaunting of the salary cap rules, they should take some playoff wins off the books for these two teams.
Oh……………hold that thought
March 12th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
They lost $36 Million but can spreadt that out within the next 2 years…still…that sucks!
March 12th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
how much cap space are the Skins down to?
84.6M
March 12th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
@G123
since the Redskins lost $36 million in cap space, they had to make tough cuts in order to get in compliance with Tuesday’s deadline.
the contracts of Santana Moss & Chris Cooley have been terminated.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:52 pm
No kidding!
how much cap space are the Skins down to
************
Well they get to split it in half over this year and next so their cap is effectively 102.6 million
They can get RGiii under contract for about 6 million (or less if they give him a bonus) they wont have any issues there.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:52 pm

March 12th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
I really would like to know what means “guilty to a lesser degree?” How are manipulations in an uncapped year even something that can be legally challenged? Manipulations of the cap have been going on since, since forever. Why penalize now? This all seems unfair.
March 12th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
I need some new Raider news to start the March Madness off right. I’m waiting for the BREAKING NEWS that the Raiders surprisingly re-sign Louisville native Micheal Bush. Make it happen Big Mack!
Speaking of madness and Louisville, my BIG EAST TOURNEY CHAMP Louisville Cardinals got a tough draw in a loaded West region.
Where you at Meth (B)??? – looks like the Ville and Mizzu might meet up after all if the Ville can manage to get thru a tough upper half and head honcho Michigan St! Siva’s about to go on a rampage!
March 12th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
POST-3,YEH WELCOME RG3,YOU WILL BE PLAYING OFFENSE BY YOURSELF,GO GET EM ..
March 12th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
That is like the 5th time this weekend, you are valuing a QB based on completion percentage.
Stop it!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Never!!!!
Stop using that single stat (40+ yard passes). I don’t care if you complete two 40+ passes, and then can’t complete another pass for an entire quarter.
He can’t complete 50% of passes. If you can’t complete 10/20 passes, then you shouldn’t play QB in the NFL.
Dude… You should know that.

the league was nice enough not to fine us for dumping JaWalrus in the uncapped year.
call it sympathy?

Kam Wimbley is licking his chops with the news of an extra $1.6M in cap space. Kam poppling the cristal.

I was literally just thinking about you.
Hopefully, we get Louisville vs. New Mexico this weekend for a sweet 16 birth.

Hahaha, I don’t know if ya’ll wanna see us JFB! A light turned on in the Big East tourney. Did you see the way we blew the doors of Marquette? Siva added a few necessary elements to his game just in time. His teardrop floater is almost automatic now and that makes us that much tougher.
Drew Gordon is the real deal though…The MWC was tough this year so I know it won’t be a cakewalk. New Mexico gotta beat Long Beach St. first though. Casper Ware and co. ain’t no pushover

The look on Dan Snyder’s face right now, after celebrating the RGIII trade. LMAO. Bet he’s already got his lawyers lined up.

March 12th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Vegas,
I told you, I judge QBs based on their play and bit stars. It’s not a secret that if you don’t complete 50% of your passes, then you can’t play in this league. This is not about stats. This about being able to keep drives going, and not bring a liability.
QBs than can’t complete 50% of their passes are a liability, and that’s why they don’t last regardless of how well they can run or if they have 2 completions that go for over 40 yards per game.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
Call me crazy, If the commish calls it an “uncapped year” and doesn’t specify or clarify the details of said “uncapped year” teams, (no matter who they are) should not be punished! If I were Al Davis or any GM/ Owner I would have tried my best to take advantage of the uncapped year. Total BS if you ask me, The league FKD up and the teams who were smart enough to capitalize should not be penalized!
Very disappointing. NFL is becoming more and more political/fixed.

SnB Bleeder,
Love the way Siva plays, if only he could get a coach to coach him up (Just f’ing with you). That athletic white dude who chucks the 3’s is good too.
Gordon for the Lobo’s attacks the front of the room, all the time, and gets teams in foul trouble early.
Lobo’s should be prepared for the press from you guys, being that depth is our greatest strength (we go 10 deep with a McDonalds All-Amercian coming off the bench) and ball-handlers are our 2nd best strength.
Should be fun!!!
March 12th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
where is Pretty Rick?
need one of those speeches from Reggie to Rolando
“hey buddy, how you doing? come and see me in my office just to chat…and uhh.. oh yeah, bring your playbook”
sorry gents. he’s the pro
March 12th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
O,
I love stats, and no doubt you can’t complete less than 50% of your passes forever and have that work.
But I would rather Tebow’s 48% with A LOT of big plays, than Gabbert’s 58%, and no big plays and lots of 4 yard completions on 3rd and 9.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Releasing Rolando would just be stupid. Anyone else thinking the same thing is also stupid.

*****************************
I just don’t see Desmond, Houston and Seymour on the field at the same time in most nickle situations.
Too slow of a rush. And I don’t think our “nickle” is routinely going to have 4 D-lineman with their hands in the ground.
Rolando might be rushing a lot on nickle, hell maybe even MM34. And we will get a Wimbley/Scott reenactment in the draft to provide some speed off the edge.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:16 pm

March 12th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
As Quoted by PFT;
As to the Saints and Raiders, who won’t lose cap space but likewise won’t get the $1.6 million per team that will be redistributed based on the cap space taken from the Redskins and Cowboys, it’s our understanding that the violations were far less severe. For the Raiders, the dumping of salary in 2010 arose specifically from the dumping of JaMarcus Russell from the roster.

That 1.6 million in extra cap room, could have went to a well-deserved payraise for the great Jon Condo!!!
March 12th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
JFB — Yea, Kuric is our best shooter, and Chris Smith (JR Smith’s lil’ brother) is a pretty good shooter too, but they both need Siva to set the table for ‘em. They’re not too talented off the bounce, though Kuric at least has a cool lil’ shot fake to get him open for cats who close out too fast. Depth and ball-handlers are a must though ’cause Siva and Russ will wear backcourts out and they’re good for at least 5 steals between the two of ‘em.
I’m worried about Gordon. Behanan would probably be checking him, and though B-Han is a beast, he’s just a freshman and his defensive fundamentals are still a work in progress. Gordon could have an even bigger game than usual, but B-Han needs to attack him right back ’cause he can definitely get Gordon in foul trouble with his work in the paint on the other end. The best thing going for our D is the shot-blocker Dieng as the last line of defense. Had 20+ more blocks than Cuse’s Fab Melo, and really changes the game similar to KY’s Anthony Davis, but somehow Fab Melo gets Big East defensive player of the year. Go figure.
Can’t wait ’till the tourney tips off. Taking off Thursday and Friday ’cause I can’t even function at work with the games on.

*********************
Gordon focuses more on the defensive glass, and we send in AJ Hardeman and some big Aussie to foul guys and try to alter shots.
Lobo’s have two really good ball-handlers in Kendall Williams and some little 5′9 guy from Texas, and we got this other true freshman Aussie who seems very casual with his dribble and passes, but is suprisingly effective. A tad worried about him, I think his minutes will be reduced.
Wait until you see this Demetrius Walker off the bench. McDonalds All-American, not very refined or useful off the bounce, but he is like 6′4 with a 42′ vertical. Freak athlete.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:31 pm

————-
Again, we’ll definitely let you know how good your ball handlers are; ’cause Siva and Russ make the strongest dribblers look suspect! Johnson-Odom from Marquette had 7 turnovers in that game, and Cadougan had 8! But Williams is solid. I watched some of ya’ll game when ya’ll beat UNLV I wanna say Friday night after our game with ND went off. Pretty solid crew.
Lets just hope we both don’t choke and it happens. That f@g Gottlieb and a few others have picked Davidson to knock us off! Don’t know what they’re smokin’….and if you haven’t seen him yet, you’ll get to see one of the best point guards in the country when you see Casper Ware square off against ya’ll Thursday. They played us tough in Louisville, and almost beat UNC early in the year too.

As I’ve said several times, I love Lechler, (or lamp)he’s The best at what he does.
But… Too many more important holes to fill for the salary he makes. NO PUNTER should make that kind of money. Best case scenario the Raiders can redo his deal and stretch it out so he retires a Raider.

Casper Ware is legit, but I don’t think they can hang with the amount of fresh legs and length we constantly throw at people. We might put 6′6 Tony Snell on him and see if he can frustrate him a little.

NBA trades have to have relatively matching salaries swapped, so if you don’t like the return package, sometimes it is better to say screw it, we will take $18 million in cap space, rather than Joe Johnson or Pau Gasol and $3 million in cap space.

RASTA GANJA TOUR RECAP SPONSORED BY THE PARTYDUDE 8000
Yo Yo Yo
I’m soaking my nads in Palmolive, trying to recover from the Rasta Ganja 2012 SD Tour.
Don’t worry, I’m also getting warm tea leaves applied to my wiener by 3 polynesian strippers.
The final show of the tour didn’t go exactly as planned, because our bassist did a stage dive right into the salad bar. Yo, anyone know how to get thousand island dressing stains off a Bike jockstrap?
Also the band forgot the music to our last 5 songs, so we ended up lip syncing to a UB40 record. I almost threw down with some fool who said we didn’t write Red Red Wine and I was like, Yo, show me the trademark documentation punk
Word up
I nailed at least 7 Rasta Ganja groupies at the afterparty, 1 while I was taking a screaming hot duece.
The shorty was riding my snake when I felt the complimentary calamari appetizer coming back up the pipe, so I grabbed her and hauled us both into the john.
She kept complaining about how it wasn’t romantic, which in hindsight I can somewhat understand. NOT
Yo, I’ll field a quick Q and A while the tea leaves get rotated

But you ain’t getting a superstar in return for him. You are looking at Pau Gasol or Brooke Lopez or something like that.
No thanks, I’ll take the cap space. And besides, Orlando WILL get something back this offseason when they do a “sign-and-trade” thing so his new team can pay him more. Probably a 1st rounder or something minimal, but still something.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
I wouldn’t care if the Raiders signed all 3 dungver ufa LB’s Mario Haggan, Joe Mays & Wesley Woodyard!

March 12th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
Like I said..wouldn’t surprise me if we sign 2-3 players from that list!
March 12th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
So, does Wimbley already gets 6.5M but does he get 4.5 tomorrow and an additional 17M, or whatever it is, on the 17th? Or is it all on the 17th?
March 12th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Bynum is a star. Gasols a star. Golden state has players..

One more thing regarding this blog entry-
If I were Was, Dal, Oak, and N.O. I would appeal not getting the 1.6 mill and in Was/Dal case ask for that $$ not to be taken off there salary cap. Even though it was kind of obvious there was salary dumping and other minor infractions you really would have a HARD time proving it. Innocent until proven guilty right?

Melo sucks, that’s why they came out great. Galinari is better than him, straight up.
And Shaq’s last year in Orlando they went to the Finals. What were they supposed to do, ship him off in the middle of the season?
Again, they STILL may get a Pau Gasol this offseason in a sign-and-trade deal anyways.

Rolando McClain is a better NFL player after his first two years than Darren McFadden, DHB, Nnamdi, Stan Routt and Mike MItchell are/were.

it’s true it’s damn true
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
DHB, Nnamdi, Routt & MM34 were/are all project type picks. DMC was hurt most of his first 2 seasons. I still haven’t seen anything confirming if Slomac was injured when playing last season.
He has this year to prove he belongs and pull up his drawers.
—————-
They may have been “project picks” in our eyes, but to the guy who drafted them all relatively high he did not view them as “project picks”.That being said I’m not going to stick my neck out for RoMac but he does have what it takes to succeed in the NFL, We will see if coach Allen can bring it out of him. If not, don’t let the door hit you in the a$$!

The only way Wimbley stays at this point:
1) He can’t get a contract for anything more than 5 million next year from another team
2) He wants a long-term deal after restructure
*Otherwise he has ALL the leverage.
The Raiders could get out of his gauranteed money by arguing that Davis did not have the capacity to contract at the time he made the deal. Let Wimbley take them to court!

Raiders in 11th hour talks with Boyd’s agent at the Downtown Oakland liqour store
March 12th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Another Raider I had a strong interest in was Rolando McClain, who was solid, but not great in both fantasy and actual football. His 90 total tackles were supported by five sacks, but despite 78 targets (second most for ILBs) he could not intercept a single pass and was our third worst ILB in coverage (-7.6). His tackle frequency of 8.68% ranks him 45th of 50 qualifying ILBs and is actually a regression from his 9.13% from last year (36th/50) which signifies to me that McClain is unlikely to move higher than the low-end LB2 value he currently has

Here’s to hoping Dennis Allen comes from the theory that we should practice, I don’t know, all the time. Crazy I know, but let’s give it a try.
March 12th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Kamerion Wimbley had a good year by all accounts; six sacks, sixteen hits and forty pressures, as well as 57 total tackles (and a +24.5 grade) and signed a new five-year, $48m deal. However, reports are surfacing that the Raiders now want Wimbley to take a pay-cut, or they’ll release him! I guess that’s what happens when the front office changes! He’s never going to be more than a fantasy bench-warmer though because he has only once had a double-digit sack season, and can’t push past 70 total tackles, no matter where he ends up.

You gotta wonder about Tebow’s trade value. What would he realistically go for if the only team who would possibly want him is Jacksonville. Also the Jags remember traded up to get into the top 10 to take Gabbert. And their new OC is a pocket passer system coordinator. Don’t think he’d be too warm to Tebow’s run first system. And realistically Tebow will never be a pocket passer. Not with that baseball windup.
I say the Jags lowball a 6th round offer. Take it or leave it. And the Donks will agree.

Eulogies? Not so.
I said Curry should take a pay-cut or bail, he took the pay-cut. I still don’t think he will be a full-time starter next year.
And I like Huffy. Overpaid, and if he didn’t restructure he would have been waived as well, but he makes plays in the secondary to get the defense off the field, which is world-beating with our defense.
March 12th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Boss is only two concussions from retirement anyway. next man up. Sounds like Ausberry is going to be playing a biger role.

Ausberry is a mathcup NIGHTMARE. NO WAY you cover him with a LB and I’m not so sure a safety is much better. Or do you throw a 5-9 180lb nickel CB on him? I hope that kid scores a 100 TDs in silver and black!

If Boyd was a center fielder he’d let a pop up land behind him by 15 feet. I’m pretty sure most any small college FS could have done a better job… as well as many of us…

If we can get a stud TE then the WR’s we have on the roster already will do just fine.

The Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders made one-year contract tenders to restricted free agent DL Desmond Bryant and exclusive rights free agents, DE Mason Brodine, CB Bryan McCann and FB Marcel Reece. In addition, the Raiders confirm the restructure of LB Aaron Curry’s contract.

I’m joking about Boyd. I have always been at a loss why he was ever hired – I suppose just in case they needed a warm body.

Raiders tender RFA Desmond Bryant and ERFAs Mason Brodine, Bryan McCann, Marcel Reece; confirm contract restructure for Aaron Curry

@ ray
is this a joke?
why would we make any effort to retain Mason Brodine & Bryan McCann ???

They see something they like, and they are cheap. Get used to a lot of these types and UDFA’s. Also Eddie McGee seems to have some value, as Palmer was working out (throwing to him) earlier this year.

Boss was a horrible signing, wasn’t very good, and his cocunut is damaged goods.
Was pretty obvious he was a possibility to be cut.
He made more money last year, than Jimmy Graham, Jermichael Finley and Rob Gronkowski COMBINED!!
=======
Maybe Finley is on the radar? Or Martellus Bennett (of the Cowboys?)

Releasing Rolando would just be stupid. Anyone else thinking the same thing is also stupid.

Stupid is as stupid does Forrest. One example would be firing a gun near the head of a “friend” a few days before a big game with a conference opponent.
