Chieferific Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 4 hours ago, August4th said: at first, I thought it said Ryan Shazier traded to the raiders on twitter and was really confused for like a second lol wonder if we can get use out of him in gadget plays here and there.. a WR sweep, screens designed just for him etc... When I saw it, it only said we traded for a Raiders WR. I was thinking "Dear Lord. Did they just trade Bryant back?" Glad it was Switzer instead.

warfelg Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 FWIW....loved him coming out of the draft. Very Wes Welker like. Poor mans Wes Welker. Was confused when Dallas drafted him because they really have 0 use for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 In other news Schefter reporting Vance MacDonald restructured $3 mill of this years salary creating over $2 mill in cap room...gives them roughly $5.5 mill in cap room now... My thought is why? Something else coming down the pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 For acquiring Switzer. I know he doesn't make much but it offsets it some. Also, stupid to restructure such an injury prone player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how yet but I think it's going to be at LB. It would not shock me if more than one LB that we expect to for "lack of options' doesn't actually make the roster and we sign someone. Keep an eye on what happens with Broncos rookie LB Jeff Holland who the Broncos. The Broncos LB Corps is stacked and it sounds like the Broncos view him as the "odd man out". If he were to be cut, Pittsburgh would almost definitely put in a claim. Doesn't mean they'd get him because they'd be far from the only team to do so.

Pulling off something like that would have been best off happening before the extension deadline, because if the Raiders had a chance to extend Bell they would have done Bell for Mack almost straight up IMO. But now that the deadline has passed, we're sitting on Bell as a lame duck contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that the deadline has passed, we're sitting on Bell as a lame duck contract. I was saying rescind the tag and cut Bell. Then use the $15 Million to sign Mack. Not gonna happen but a different take on the "would ya" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a boatload of picks? That would be late round picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overpay. I get Mack is great and all, but you got to trade for him and give up a bunch of cap. 1st, 2nd, pair of conditional 4ths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
