Interesting. The Mack and Cooper compensation draft. All could be traded this weekend

3 former 1st round picks. Hopefully this draft brings the Raiders out of the league laughingstock position.

No surprise tbh. Be interested to see what happens with JJ. I like Abram but not going to be worth that 5th year deal.

What a terrible ******* hire

I think Josh and Ferrell could stick around. Especially if ferrell plays more of an inside out role under Graham this year and thrives. Abram won't unless he makes a big jump from last year.

I can see letting Ferrell and Abrams go since they haven't really panned out. Although I thought we'd try to keep Jacobs a couple more years since he's still a good, fairly young RB.

I don't think any of them is valued at the price their 5th year option would pay them, maybe Jacobs. Abram has been useful and filled in from time to time but also makes his mistakes. If we're using the money to extend Waller and Renfrow I'm all for it. Which I sincerely hope we are

If we're truly cutting bait from them after this year, it puts our Cap situation in 2023 from 17 million in space to 44.5 million in space. But with only 22 players under contract, so that 45 million is to feed 30 players next year. I see why they did it in that light. 25 players under contract with 17 million in space is a lot of manuevering to do. This way gives us some wiggle room. Finding a  replacement RB in the draft is doable, and replacing Adams' production shouldn't be too hard.

Carr, Adams, Jones, Crosby and Miller really are taking up a huge chunk of next years cap. But on the other hand that's practically all of a teams biggest needs, QB, WR, DE x2 and LT.  I can see us restructuring/extending Waller and making his 2023 cap hit lower than the 7 million it currently is, which would help accomodate a Renfrow extension, still allowing us 40 million or so to round out our team next year. This is very doable.

Yep if you're gonna pay players, you pay them at these positions.

I could see Jacobs being extended on like a 2-3 year deal at like $6M APY. I don't think Ferrell is back unless he balls out though.
