Raiders releasing Gabe Jackson

With the market being what it is this year, alot of guys that get released are going to find that not many teams are going to be giving out big long term contracts.  Some of the less desirable position (IOL, DT, non pass rushing LB) may find that they have to settle for cheaper 1 year deals and hope the cap picks back up next year.  Guys like Jackson may find that is the case this year.

No thanks. He was just OK last year and he's way too expensive as a guard. Everyone was happy when Turner was gone based on his play versus his contract. Why do we want the same thing? If Marty hadn't been so flippant with our comp picks, we could have easily addressed the guard/future center with 4 comp picks in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in a deep OL draft.

We don't have the cap space this year to blow on a guard. We need to extend Moton and then be able to extend Moore, Burns, Chinn, YGM and Brown over the next few years. I'd rather keep that entire core together with a young QB and more young OL than go after an expensive FA guard. If we are going to spend a bunch of cap, let's at least spend it on a key position.

Very similar to Turner.

Yes and No.  His play did dip slightly this year but was still one of the better starting OGs this past year.  He was like Turner where his contract was bigger than his play and a hinder to the team (thus why they cut him to open cap)

That doesn't mean he is going to turn around and sign another big deal.  He is easily affordable for us.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
