Breeland trash though. 

Nah he's not a bad corner by any means. He had one of the lowest yards allowed per game last year and has the skills to play on the outside. He's not a star, but he's young and has lots of experience as a starter.

And for a camp tryout?  What can it hurt?  Right now at CB we have:

Melvin, Conley, Worley, Wright, McDonald, Nelson, and Leon Hall.

 

All of them have question marks. Adding Breeland can't be a negative. We don't know about Conley's health. Or Hall's abilities (aka if he is too old). Or if Melvin can stay healthy. Nelson's a rookie. Wasn't Worley a zone guy? And isn't he a suspension risk? Other 2 guys are depth at best.

Conley is the only talented CB on the roster and his health is a concern. Breeland could win the 2-4 job on this team pretty easily. I'm bearish on Melvin. I do like Nelson going forward. The rest a throw aways to me.

Raiders currently have 2.2 in cap space.....

Should move on from: 

Seth Roberts save 2.2M - he had his shot, drop too many passes after he got paid

Lee Smith save 3.2M - dude is strictly a blocker, we could sign someone for the vet minimum to do his job

Would save 5.4M with those cuts plus the 2.2M.= 7.6M  (Could also cut that Texan tackle) 

Breeland- could then offer Breeland a fair 6-7M one year prove it contract, with a chance to start.He isa solid starting corner in this league..Suddenly we have 4 legit starting corners pushing each other to start in: Conely, Melvin, Worley, and Breeland. In addition,  a wild card in Nick Nelson who could surprise..Our CB turns into a strength as opposed to a great weakness in 2017.....

exactly all our corners have question marks....Melvin, Nelson, Conely, Worely all have potential but like you said have risks....yikes we are in trouble if McDonald, Hall, or Wright are getting a lot of playing time against starting wideouts...

Smiths got $3m guaranteed hasn’t he? We would only save 250k cutting him.
