Turnobili Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 only justification is that we are trading Carr and letting Mariota run for his life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakdb36 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Don't really understand why they would do that other than they think James is good which i wouldn't be able to know. Anyway, with the 3.5M base salary voided and with a post june 1st designation, they'd save 9.9M in cap space but they wouldn't be available until june. So they'd just use it to sign the draft class. It still means they can get to 0 until then knowing they're getting cap space at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he voided a part of his contract, therefore reducing the dead cap hit and with the post June designation, we will have saved cap space?

agarcia34 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 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.

I’m confused If the report about the 3.5M guarantee being voided is correct and with a post june 1st designation, that's what it looks like to me. But it's all very confusing indeed. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/rodney-hudson-7774/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can go back and fourth all day like this. The short answer? Absolutely nothing. What has he done to show us he can build a successful roster with Carr as the QB? Short answer? Nothing. Again, if Gruden is staying I’d rather take our shot with a young QB then Carr. Doesn’t mean it’s going to be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
