    oakland raiders cap space updated

    http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/cap/

    this is probably why suh and agents decided to skip out,the raiders are tight now on cap with 13 million only plus some free agent signings aren't accounted for yet either !!!

    Agents don't look at cap space when negotiating for a player/client. They make the deal and let the team figure out how to pay for it.

    Lynch's salary has been updated.....

    Whitehead got a 3 year 18.....so first year account for 5-6 million....

    Keith Smith got 2 years 4.2 million

    Estimate 8 million for those 2, without counting Lee Smith, Shareece Wright, Wilber, Martin.....

    Pretty much up against the cap at this point. Not sure where you find money for Bowman.

    That's easy. Cut cut cut. The Raiders are taking their time and releasing players after they have been replaced. I expect to see a lot more players cut.

    No doubt.....I mean, Suh....what you want 15 million....okay cut Irvin and Cook.....bam....Walford just moves up the chart and Edwards kicks to the outside where Irvin was. Suh rolls right in next to Jelly. Easy. Me and you can man the LB spots with Suh in front of us taking triples.

    rams after all contracts are at roughly 19 million under the cap with donald deal coming up
    saints at 13 million
    titans have 47 million and can still cut another 15 million if needed

    agent looks at who's got what left to sign free agents then sits down with player whom tells agent whom he wants to play with and whom he wont play with,they then go on a tour and try to work a deal for the most cash or ops plus cash rams and titans both playoff bound with strong defense,saints least amount of money but have a super bowl coach,qb and a great offense and defense

    Donald counting 6.8, probably will eat a nice chunk out of the cap space. 5-100, 20 million signing bonus...then again maybe not if the Rams decides to give him a nice fat signing bonus to prorate over 5 years. At 20 million, he gets the cash right away, but on the cap it counts 4 million......then say a 2 million first year salary.....leaves the Rams with the same 19 million in cap space.

    So the Rams, Saints, and Titans were all in the playoffs last year and they all have more cap space compared to the Raiders. Hummmm.

    pretty much sum's up why suh and his agent cancelled

    The Raiders are not a very enticing team for free agents like Suh right now, and this has less to do with the front office, the coaching staff, or the salary cap. These guys don't want to uproot their families and move them to a different part of the country, and again in 2 more years.
