No reason why we could not have signed both. I would have like to have signed King over Brown also. If we go out and spend $10 on a slot CB I will be pissed. We aren't paying anyone over 10 other than Ngakoue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowden could only dream on getting Drakes level. honestly Josh and Drake are probably a top 3 RB tandem in the league! I'll be happy with a top 10 tandem. Lotta good tandems out there. We just need our RBs to stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said in another thread - surely Bradley would’ve made more of a move for him if he really wanted him. I’d imagine he just doesn’t fancy him that much. 🤷♂️ Edited March 19, 2021 by reddevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that right now if we wanted to sign King we have enough options to get the $4 mio it would have taken to sign him. Signing Drake isn't stopping us from signing a d-guy at this point at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakdb36 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 2021 cap hit: 3M (max 4.75 with incentives). OMG, let's freak out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So a back loaded deal. First year only cost you 3 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs + Drake + Richard = 9.7M. Richard is a FA next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I would hope not. With Drake Richard has no role on the team. His snaps have already gone down with a RB like Booker on this team now you got a back who can do everything Richard does but better. With Reddick back you get the special teams player so I think you have to release Richard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's guaranteed 5.5 next year if he's cut. And he's paid 8 mil if he's on the roster. Am I seeing this correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure, 2.5 mil base in 2022? 5.5 roster bonus 2022 makes it sound like we have an option? hes guaranteed 2.5? the 2021 base/both RBS fully guaranteed is confusing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 With the recent TV deal the cap is going to absolutely explode next year. I'm not worried about this in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our offense is based on the running game, Jacobs has struggled staying healthy throughout a season and the NFL is adding a 17th game.

I don't think touches will be 50/50 but he'll be used often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
