With the rules around the opted out CBA, it makes it virtually impossible to negotiate a long-term deal for this type of player.

Not necessarily for Davis. He is not under contract being an RFA. The CBA, based on what I have read, says that any contract negotiated from a capped to uncapped year can't go up more than 30% from year to year. So to extend a contract like Williams or Kalil where the base salary for 2010 was so low and to stay within the 30% rule most all the money would have to paid out in signing bonuses or roster bonuses.

But for a player like Thomas who isn't under contract, he is still under the 30% rule but the starting number for his contract in 2010 won't be based on what he earned in 2009 and can start anywhere so it wouldn't be hard to sign him without having to guarantee everything up front or give him a huge signing bonus.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
