Assuming we say goodbye to Seymour, DHB takes a significant paycut or gets cut, Brisiel is waived, maybe TK is waived and another move or two (I say trade Branch) then RM will have plent of room to work with. If Palmer is traded and we can avoid that cap hit then we’ll have a ton of room. I don’t think we should do that, but if that happens then forget about the cap excuse. ------------------------------------------------- It actually is. DHB, McClain, Kelly need to be straight up released. That should get us initial cap relief. Problem is we have to fill 1/3 of the roster with very limited resources. We should resign Bryant, Shaunasty, Wheeler, Myers and maybe Adams to 3 year deals but otherwise its 1 year min contracts for the rest of the roster. Rookie contracts are cap friendly because of the slotted salaries and signing bonuses are spread out over the life of the deal (4 years). Palmer deal has really F'd up the works. He's making elite money. Really can't cut/trade him in 2013 committed bonuses cap accelerated to $17 million! without someone ready to replace him. He's cap is $13 million if he stays on the roster. His 2014 cap number is something insane like $19 million! Terrible deal signing him - we get so screwed on the draft picks, initial contract extension, and *then* he restructures last year to ensure cap punishment through 2014. His contract is voidable in 2015 but the Raiders are cap committed to him for the next 2 years. The Raiders cap situatio is not as bad as McKenzie andMckenzie apologists would lead you to believe.
