Raiders Release J. Ellis

He had a good run, solid nose tackle during his time. Good value for a 4th rounder... Hankins is just as good of a run stuffer,  but actually can collapse the pocket. Ellis is a nfl player, but was a bit overpaid. Seen this coming, but I  thought he would last another year. 

 

Next guy Who I can see gone is Gabe Jackson if he doesn’t come back strong

I wonder if we got any extra cap savings to carry over to next year.  Dead money was $2.5 M.  Also saves $4.5 next year.  If Joyner does not stick around we will have $90+ next year in cap space.  After the draft we would have 36 players and $85 M roughly.  Won't happen but we could average $5 M per roster spot that needs to be filled.  That is a pretty high average considering we average just over $2.6 M per roster spot right now.  Does not guarantee an improved roster but gives us some ammo to try.
