How the Cheifs can afford anything more than a bag of potato chips is beyond me

Rodney Hudson is still getting paid by the Raiders this year, he might sign cheap to go win a SB with the team that drafted him

Actually, to be clear - that 15M cap hit is all money paid out from previous years - where the Raiders just pushed their cap hit to future nows, and it's now due.    That was part of the agreement noted above by @RaidersAreOne - no base salary is guaranteed when he got released.

Tashan Reed, Raiders beat writer: The only logical explanation is to save cap space in 2022. According to Spotrac, Hudson would've carried a dead-money hit of $8.3 million next year if he wasn't released before June. This way, all of his $14.5 million cap hit for 2022 is off the books. They're losing $1.9 million in immediate cap space to make this move now but deemed it to be worth it given the long-term savings. 

 

They would've saved $1.5 million if they had traded him, but other teams may not have been willing to pay a premium salary for a center who's turning 32 this summer.

Still hate it.
