Raiders release Wimbley
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, March 16th, 2012 at 12:16 pm in Oakland Raiders.
As expected, the Raiders parted ways with their best pass rusher Friday, releasing outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley before $17.5 million in guarantees was set to kick in on the contract he signed last training camp.
The Raiders confirmed the move in a post on their Twitter account.
Wimbley, with 16 sacks in two seasons, still will receive $6.5 million from the Raiders in 2012 and now is on the open market. He could add considerably more cash as the top pass rusher available.
Wimbley had seven sacks in 2011, four against the San Diego Chargers, and was 15th in the NFL with 31 knockdowns and hurries, according to the statistical service STATS, LLC.
The Raiders managed to get under the $120.6 million salary cap without cutting Wimbley, but they cleared $4.5 million more after his release.
Originally retained as an exclusive franchise player, Wimbley agreed to a contract extension under the Al Davis regime that paid him more than $11 million last year in salary and bonus money.
If Wimbley were on the roster past Friday, he would have been due an additional $4.5 million this year, his entire $11 million salary next season would have beem guaranteed, as would have $2 million in salary in 2014.
Linta, has said repeatedly in recent days that there had been no contact with the Raiders after they initially balked at taking a pay cut.
When coach Dennis Allen was hired, Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie talked of dealing getting “out-of-whack” contracts in line as Oakland put its financial house in order.
Cornerback Stanford Routt was released Feb. 3 before a big roster bonus was due, cutting the cord on a five-year extension that could have been worth as much as $54.5 million and that essentially paid Routt some $15 million last season.
Routt signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on a deal that guarantees him $6 million this season.
Oakland is also paying $2 million this season to tight end Kevin Boss, who the club released Wednesday after one year of service.

So approx. how much under the cap are we now w/ this move?
Let’s get a long term deal worked out for Branch now.
March 16th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Sign L. Hill now!

You are right I don’t know I just went by what you have said here. But you don’t know if I sit on the couch and lift beers either, right? That didn’t stop you from assuming I plant myself on the couch. Practice what you preach bro, or do you not know any better yourself?

Mrs. Brown,
Lifting that can of beer and planting your a$$ on the couch is not considered exercising.
BTW, lifting weight doesnt necessarily make you a body builder. I’m far from body building. But you wouldnt know any better.
March 16th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
I got 5 on it!
March 16th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Why is Reggie letting Wimbley what he will do JUST doit Reggie! Is your “gut” on vacation or what ?
March 16th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Tafur said $15 million under the cap after the Wimbley move. I’m not sure how true that is, lots of numbers have been flying around over the past several days.
Curry will be the SLB next season. Raiders will likely stick to the 4-3 primarily, with a few 3-4 looks sprinkled in.

Bottom line is existing contract was the deal of an elite pass rusher. Wimbley was good, but not in the Ware-Hali-Allen realm.

Good gamble. If these are the kinds of players Reggie is going to be looking for, Raiders are going to have squads that can play.

Looks like negotiations with Wimbley held up his release today. Maybe with more cap room, they decided to try to work something out. Or the Manning-49er thing sent them into a panic….
Evidently, Manning slipped into town this week, met with the 49ers and had a physical before his visit to the Titans…and we all thought the Raiders were super secret keepers.

Agreed that McKenzie had to make most of the moves due to the crazy contracts Al D had done. Now my question is what are we doing to replace these players with starter caliber players? As of now, we will need at least 2 CBs, 2 OLs, 1 Backup QB, 2 LBs at the very minimum. We’ve over $15M in cap room supposedly.
March 16th, 2012 at 12:39 pm

I’ve been thinking all day that the Bills may have hosed themselves with Mario W. $50M guaranteed? To a guy who didnt play last year with a torn pec? What happens when he re-injures in preseason?
I like that Reggie is taking his time and not making the kind of mistakes we’ve made in the past.

The Raiders were absolutely a more versatile team with Wimbley on the roster, but that contract was untenable. If he wasn’t going to take less money, there’s no way the Raiders could keep him.

This.
Even if Mario beasts this year, which I fully intend him to, hes not going to make the Bills better than Houston was with him. Im going to admit, on paper, right now, Buffalo does have the best DLine in the league, ON PAPER. But what about the rest of the team. Thats a lot of money on one player for a team thats not even close to contending. And with that injury, his performance is only going to decline the next few years, as his contract balloons. No disrespect to Al, but Ralph Wilson pulled a classic Al Davis move. And we know how these deals usually pan out.

I’ll agree that he may be a little “short”, but he makes up for it in strength and tackling ability. When I heard about how bad his combine turned out, I knew he would slip, but I still say hes a mid to late 3rd.
Watch for a lot of teams to work him out before the draft to see if the combine was a fluke. He says he was hurt, and Im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on how I seen him play in space and tackle.

I don’t mind the cleaning house – but I’d like to see him start signing some of those “cheap players he’s gonna turn into stars”.
I really don’t care if we’re not signing the big names etc. You can find quality, but let’s get on with signing them. The first two he is bringing in sound good…but can we get them locked up?

As a long time Raider fan this is Twilght Zone weird. Usually Al would be chomping at the bit and making all kinds of moves.
Its funny Reggie Mac’s approach to aqcuiring Free Agents players is like Al Davis’ approach to aqcuiring new Coaches–wait until all the big names are gone, then try to scoop up a no-name/up and coming coach.
After the defensive debacles the last few years, I welcome the change, hope it works Reggie Mac!

March 16th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
How much space do we have now? Some said we had 9 million before the Wimbley cut, the cut saves 4.5 million, so does that give us about 13.5 million in total!

I’m cool with Big Reg dragging this out. FK wimbley. let teams spend there cash so his greedy ass gets less. It also shows that Big Reg means buisness. Once Reg reached out to wimbley’s agent and they said no to restructuring or pay cut or whatever, Reg washed his hands of the situation and didn’t call and plead like what might have happened in the past. You go Big Reg, do your thing!

To the cynics and panicked,
You gotta let the spending frenzy die down a bit. Everyone being snatched up now isn’t worth the money. Be patient and trust that they want to win more than you do. Reggie and the new coaching staff’s jobs are on the line. What do you go riding on this? Bragging rights? Cost of tickets or Direct TV? I’m gonna put my faith in the people that have a lot more invested in the future of the team then you do? They are not just twiddling their thumbs you know. Gone are the days trying to make a team look good on paper.
March 16th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
I guess so, they cut Gallery last year and people think they will get one for him.
So they could get one for Routt, Wimbley, and Boss, Chaz if they stay healthy and Campbell if he gets PT.

6′3 305. Weighs the same as Seymour, and weighs more than Bryant.
His natural position is 3-tech DT. High motor guy who holds his gap, but isn’t an edge rusher by any means.

Question….
If the Raiders do have 15mil in cap room, doesn’t some of that money have to be saved for the few draft picks and maybe UDFA?
Or can the rookie contracts get pushed off the books until 2013?
Just wondering if Reg spends 12 mil for FA’s, that wouldn’t leave much for rookies.
March 16th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
If we cut kam & restructured routt early we could have gone after soliai.. We could have gone 3/4. Helping us blitz, and hopefully making romac a better player.. Wish we did… Go get A.Frankland reg.
March 16th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
That would be nice YA.
Here’s what I’m predicting on the line.
Veldy – Heyer – Wiz – Briesel – ????(Barks?)
*******************************
Why would you take someone that had an almost pro bowl year at Guard and move him to center???? I hope the Raiders find a center. They could bring in Meyers and Collins or could bring back Satele. If we are not going with Carlisle – Briesel would be good as well.
March 16th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
159. We have to pay the rooks this yr but it wont cost much..
March 16th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
161. I agree. Wiz at guard gives us run left all day.. Plus he gives us a great back up center.. If he is our center, who backs him up?
March 16th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Any of the 2011 playoff teams a HEALTHY Manning signs with would make them an instant SB Contender. If the Donks were able to make it to the Divisional Playoffs with the QB play of Tebow, what can they do with a healthy Manning?
Likewise, a healthy Manning QB for a Niner team of V Davis, Gore, (a BIG IF) head screwed on straight Moss, coupled with the Niners D would make this a VERY long season for this Bay Area Raider fan who lives in central Niner country. (Plus I’d have to goto NFL Page 3 for “Local” Raider coverage during the upcoming season)

$90M offer from Denver to Manning with SF purported to have matched that? I personally would not have offered Manning two dead flies.
Let’s say Denver acquires Manning; it’s Raiders v Broncos. Raider linebacker shoots the gap, grabs Manning and head plants him. Manning’s vertebra is fractured, he retires from the NFL.
The winning Manning suitor faces that.
The question I ask is how many Superbowls did Manning win? That was 1?? Yes 1, and for $90M.

If you want to analyze McKenzie’s moves, forget about this year. Remember cuts and contract structure changes, but forget about cap space and signings. THEN, start doodling about salary cap opportunities in 2013 and 2014 and 2015. Jerry very insistently and consistently told us that salary cap issues were for amateurs to worry about and that “trust me, there will be no salary cap problems”. Of course *making* the salary cap was no problem. With due respect: wrong; very wrong. Of course not, they have to make the cap. But, time after time, Jerry said “no, we can’t afford him; “no we can’t afford him either”. That’s because caps DO matter, and if you don’t watch out, the cap will cap your azz. And, it did. *This* year. You can diddle caps by moving stuff forward and restructuring. But, eventually you have to pay the consequences. Some teams peck away at relieving those consequences a little here and there. But, if you don’t peck away at backloading, the backload gets heavy. This year, we finally pay the price. We have unloaded a bunch (not all) of the backload load, more-or-less in one fell swoop. The beauty of that will come in 2013-2014-2015. Any criticism or anxiety about our current cap crippling (despite Jerry’s constant trumpeting that cap is no problem … and I DO like Jerry) MUST take into account any benefits accruing to 2013-2015. And, those benefits will be huge. Kudos Reggie. NOT junking out players – even though it might cost as much, or nearly so, to replace them *this* year, the benefits accrue to the “out” years. Life is good. He’ll field a competitive team and he’s setting us up for years to come of excellent personnel opportunity and management.

Hardline,
I agree with you, but I think Tenn is a good option too. They have a good OL, PB RB, good and young WRs, and they have a solid Defense. Peyton also knows the division well.
Tenn makes sense too. The money is there also.

March 16th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Listen guys, relax, there will be very few signings before the draft. Don’t worry though, there will still be well over 200 free agent players available, and ALL the leverage will be gone for those guys. You will see a bunch of 1 year minimum deals. There will be open competitions in camp for a LOT of positions. These guys will be hungry trying to earn a deal, and playing at their best!
On a side note, B’s cousin is tear shiz up right now in a very tight game!

=======================================
Brisiel is much more likely. We need at least one CB (which may be Bartell), two more linebackers (one of whom can pass rush) and a NT (if we’re going 3-4). Winston’s expected $8 mil/year is out of our price range, especially when Barksdale can be our RT for way, way less than that.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
I think we WILL sign Brisiel AND Winston because….
OL is important naturally, our right side was a problem last year, Frank Pollack connection, we have $15m cap space and counting.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Redskins are stupid to sign Cedric Griffin. Dude’s coming off of two ACL surgeries, and his head coach has said publicly that, although he likes the guy, he just isn’t able to play like he used to. Leslie Frazier is a former DB, and he should know what he’s talking about.

Brisiel, yes. We can afford him. Winston is the top rated tackle still left in free agency. If he could be had for cheap, that would be great for us. He can’t, so he’s not coming to Oakland.

Marginally so. If he were starting this year, he’d be about the 20th-best starting QB. (By contrast, Russell was a solid 32, and Palmer is Top 10.)

If Bush was smart he’d realize McFadden gets injured often and thus gets a starting gig here. Unless Bengals are planning on letting Benson (UFA) go and making Bush their feature back, but I doubt that, they’ll want Benson back, but Benson-Bush is not a good combo in terms of power and speed. More like power and power. Forte-Bush and McFadden-Bush would make a better combo.

“He’s cut,” Linta said via email. “We tried this afternoon to make it work this afternoon, but there were too many constraints with the Raiders cap and cash situation. [G.M.] Reggie [McKenzie] was a real pro trying to make it work. Good guy. Kamerion is going to take the weekend to see which teams may have an interest.”

Thanks, Nnamdi. Credit goes to the Raiders, though. Until he was mentioned as a “person of interest” I’d never even heard of the guy.
Is anybody watching the Mizzou game? Less than 4 minutes left and Norfolk is up by 4.
I don’t have a horse in the field, so was rooting for the Tigers in support of my Nation brother.

Bench: 28.
Vertical: 36. Broad: 10-2.
Hand: 9 3/4.
Projected Round (2012): 4-6.
3/12/12: Turbin is a sleeper prospect who has some speed and is extremely strong. He showed that off with good speed and strength at the Combine. In 2011, Turbin averaged 6.1 yards per carry with 1,517 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. He caught 17 passes for 171 yards and four scores as well. In 2009, Turbin broke out with 1,296 yards and 13 touchdowns. He missed the 2010 season because of an injury. Turbin is put together well and is an elusive runner.
We have some compensatory picks end of the 3rd round. It’s possible Turbin is a target here. McFadden-Jones-Turbin

Guys that actually LOVE the game. Actual football players. There is another one of those wandering around that is in the news every 8 seconds. His name is Manning.

So RG is set and LT seems set as well. So who is going to play RT? C? LG? Where will wiz play? Wiz at center makes sense. That’s what he was when he was drafted.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Wow johnsons deal saves the lions 10mil in cap space this yr.. Dks.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
That’s what he was when he was drafted.
**********
Wiz was a guard at Penn St. He is a MUCH better guard than he is a center. He is staying at guard.

March 16th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
304. Yeah alot of people are looking at him..
March 16th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Raiders should go after Chris Myers but I think he will cost too much.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
I keep seeing Winston listed has their been some secret visit I do not know about?
After looking at the two Centers available in FA (Collins and Meyers) one was drafted in the 5th and the other in the 6th. Maybe with the Comp picks we should just sign Satele and see if one of them can compete?
March 16th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
brisiel RG and winston RT makes sense for us, our right side was poor, Frank Pollack former texans OL coach now Raiders OL coach, winston still testing market, but a good bet to prefer raiders
March 16th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
1 year, $3 million for Bartel. A little higher than I thought it would be, but it is likely a cap-friendly deal. We’ll find out more soon, I’m sure.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Wiz makes a great LG, but is still better then any Center we have on the roster, so untill we can upgrade Center, he gonna play that. And he was a gaurd in college.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
but dont flame me if i get that wrong, got 2/2 so far.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
No way to make a 1 year deal cap friendly. It will cost us 3 mill towards the cap.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
HA HA did Brian the Genital’s cousin do his classic choke job again?
Although losing to a 15 seed is much better than I thought they’d do.
I was expecting a blowout in the 1st round of the NIT to Western Boise Tech Community College.
Anyway, cousin can now take his Washington General act straight to the “sports room” and get a fresh beer from the dorm fridge
Just another classic Kelly Family tank job for the blooper reel!
HOLLA BACK TO THE RUN DMC MO WIZZLE

You sure? Even if there’s some sort of injury or incentive clause?
I know you cant spread a 1 year deal, obviously, but does the total amount of contract also count 100% as a cap hit?
March 16th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Barksdale is the RAIDERS RT in 2012! Kid’s gunna rock it…
March 16th, 2012 at 3:53 pm

Yeah, this is what I meant. Could be a max of $3 million with incentives.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Plunk which kid was B’s cuz? Dixon?
March 16th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Regarding Center…
Chris Meyers could draw interest from the Raiders. Going the whole hog with Meyers-Brisiel-Winston re-grouping.
Scott Wells would be out of our reach. Otherwise it’s Satele re-signed.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
It might be a split contract, where if he goes on IR then it only counts as half, but for now the 3 mill counts. I doubt if he signed a split contract, but if he did, and he does get hurt then we will get a 1.5 mill cap credit next year.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Texans right guard Mike Brisiel, an unrestricted free agent, has signed with the Oakland Raiders. Posted by John McClain on a Houston Chronicle blog.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
John McClain @McClain_on_NFL
G Mike Brisiel getting $20 mil over 5 years from Raiders. He’d been looking for $4 per. Congrats Mike!
March 16th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Yeah..
March 16th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
You count the incentives upfront towards the cap, and get a credit if he doesn’t meet them.
March 16th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Raiders not only have to address starting OLmen, but back-ups to PUSH starters.
Barksdale RT on roster but otherwise we have B.Campbell, so Winston RT signing would still make sense not only pairing with Brisiel, (maybe even Myers too), having that continuity there with guys who are all accustomed playing together (Pollack included), but also will help Barksdale improve having to push to be a starter.
March 16th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
Bengals lead NFL in cap space, but they haven’t spent a nickel
==============================================
And some of you say Carson “quit” on the Bungholes? Mike Brown quits on his franchise.
March 16th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Scott Wells would be out of our reach. Otherwise it’s Satele re-signed.
====================================
Scott Wells is already signed with someone else.
March 16th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
He’ll probably get injured signing the contract.
>>>>
He played 14 games last year.
I’d guess that is above average for NFL players… he might do that the rest of his career… I wish him well (especially since he is out of AFCW.)
