Don’t shoot the messenger is Overthecap is incorrect… but the compensation for Jayon Brown, Jermaine Eluemenor, and Duron Harmon’s deals were posted to their pages:

Jayon Brown, LB: 1yr, 1.035m salary (500k guaranteed) plus 125k Signing Bonus plus 64.6k in active game bonuses (might be higher and 64.6k is the likely to be achieved  amount based upon being active 10 games last year) plus 25.4k in workout bonuses = cap hit of 1.2334M.  Being that he replaced a 935k player in the top 51, his signing reduces the cap $288.4K

https://overthecap.com/player/jayon-brown/5741/

Duron Harmon, S: 1yr, 1.12m salary (580k guaranteed) plus $76,250 signing bonus and $76,250 workout bonus.  Cap number is $1,047,500 and he replaces a $935k player in the top 51 So he reduces the cap $112,500.

Jermaine Eluemenor, OL: 1yr, TBD…. It was posted on the site then got removed.  I didn’t screen shot it but it was a minimal deal like the other 2.

According to Spotrac, our cap number without those last 3 was….. $7,481,236

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/cap/
 

$7,481,236
- $288,400 Brown

- $112,500 Harmon

- $150,000 Eluemenor (I’ll update for real once it’s fixed, but this is a good Estimate)

—————-

6.93M in cap space 

Our rookie draft pool is only $4,225,310 (the sum of all the draft pick costs) and will take up $700,310 in cap space ( 4,225,310 - 705k (league minimum) * 5 picks).  But…..

the actual effect of the draft picks on our current cap is almost zero.  As of this moment the 51st roster spot has a cap hit of $935k so I’ll use that number.  But every player we sign in FA moves that figure up.


If our 3rd, 4th, and 2 5ths make the team the actual cap impact of signing the draft picks is negative.  Only #86 actually resided the current cap

86- $979,532 

126- $916,993 

164- $796,356 

165- $795,957 

227- $736,472

Plus,,, after June 1 we get $11.0M from Littleton Release and $7.75m from Nassib release = $18.75M

 

Brown is a steal, Harmon is fine at that price.No way Leavitt is going make twice the amount.

Never say never..:. We both know we’re not that lucky.  We very well could start Harmon opposite Moehrig in a 2 High Safety tandem and then keep Leavitt and his bloated salary to play ST.  Hopefully we sign a UDFA or draft a safety on day 3 that will take Leavitt’s job.  I could barely stomach him for 495k, 739k, 845k let alone 2.45M now.  That’s an Absurd amount of money for what he brings.  Hopefully he doesn’t get hurt in camp, gets IR’d And we have to KeeP him on the books.

Quote

Ziegler said there was a free-agent offensive lineman that the Raiders were interested in, but “it went a different way so we went a different way.”

The Raiders re-signed tackle Brandon Parker and guard Jermaine Eluemunor. Parker’s deal is up for up to $3.5 million for one year, a price some might say makes him the favorite to start at right tackle. The 6-foot-8, 320-pound Parker has started 32 games in his four years with the Raiders.

“He has very good size, very good length, which are two important attributes at the offensive tackle position,” Ziegler said. “He’s an athletic guy for his size, and he is not a finished product. Brandon can continue to get better. He can learn from playing a lot of snaps last year. All these things were exciting.

“Those are all good traits to have in a guy that’s going to be playing … you know, have an opportunity to compete for a job at tackle position for us.”

Great link + story.  Thank you.

I’m glad we at least recognize the need for a RT and made an attempt.  I hope we continue to keep our eyes open for RTs.

^ this was the exact quote I was talking about that convinced me that the plan is for him to start at right tackle. And then it seemed like that the comments on Leatherwood suggest that he's trying to prepare the fanbase for the idea of him moving to right guard

Well that's the new regime it seems.

They want a certain player for an certain price. If He demands more - next man up.

The mistakes what the old regime Made is, that they overpaid the guys they wanted.

That's fine but our OL was terrible last year so expecting the same group to improve by leaps and bounds is short sighted, imo.

Nobody expects that this OL will make leaps.

But we won 10 games with this OL and a (presumably) worse combination of coaching and Game Plan.

We will be fine.

7 of our 10 wins were by a single score, that usually doesn't translate well season to season. We were also 18th in scoring offense (scored 20+ in 3/10 down the stretch), had the 28th ranked run game, and Carr was the 5th most sacked QB in the league.

Again.

We were able to manage it to 10 wins. It doesn't matter if they were one Score Games or sweeps.

Although we lost Ruggs and Gruden

Although we had one of the worst RZ defense and offense.

With exact the same OL.

 

Now we added the arguably best WR in the league with one of the greatest offensive minds. Plus we added a great DC.

i think we can compete with the best Teams. And If things don't work out as planned you can be Sure that Ziegler/McDaniels will fix it.
