Broncofan Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 To pay a 3rd round pick is one thing. But man, if you are cutting him because he's getting suspended before even playing a game, well, you'd think maybe to ensure that he's getting suspended. Sounds like an appeal was won that changed the outcome here - but either way, OAK lucks out to get him back, after cutting him loose. LOL's all the way around (although I can't fault the decision to re-sign him if he's not getting suspended, only the original decision clearly being premature).

sryan66611 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Maybe for some reason they needed the roster spot for the first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I guess this ensures his contract isn't guarenteed, right? Since he's being resigned after Week 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Like @TheKillerNacho said, now that they played Week 1 his contract isn’t guaranteed. I’d also like to know if the Raiders can do what the Packers did with Koren Robinson in 2006 when he got suspended after playing 4 games and his contract was put on hold. So realistically it was a 2 year deal with the 1 year suspension right in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Good move. The trade sucked, but cutting him and re-signing him protects us a lot more. We could use him even if it's only for a couple games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's being resigned after Week 1... Here’s the rub though - if he gets suspended the salary voids anyways. As do any future guarantees (there are no bonuses since PIT paid them out). The salary guarantee doesn’t carry the same importance if it’s for protection against suspension. If it’s for other off-the-field concerns I guess but then it underscores how poor their background work must have been done pre-trade to not flag it then. So SMH’s either way.
