Bills and Steelers also in on Adams
If the raiders are not retaining money, which would then allow them to shift several million of his remaining $970k per week cap charge over to 2025 year then that is the trade off with getting a lower pick.

But goes to show that you need to be decisive vs we will see how it goes mentality. Could have gotten a 2nd plus like Buffalo did with Diggs.

Updated news is that is a 3rd with potential to be a 2nd if the Jets make the AFC champ game or if Adams is 1st or 2nd team all pro. Not sure Adams getting that is likely as he's missed 3 games and in his prior 3 games had 18 catches for 209 yards, and we are 1/3 through the season for the Jets. So, in 11 games will he get 1,000 yards and another 70 receptions? 88 catches for 1200 yards is good stats, likely pro bowl stats, but likely not All pro stats.

But, LV didn't retain any money, thus save on his $970K for 12 weeks, so about $11.6 mill in cap savings they can push to next season to offset his remaining $15.7 mill in dead cap charges.

So tired of this continually wasting draft capital. Last first rounder to get a multi year extension from LV was Colton Miller from 2018 draft. Before Miller was Huff from 2006. Raiders opted to not pay quality guys like Cooper/Mack, but a lot of misses in between Huff to Miller as well that just played their rookie deal and walked.

Honestly, not sure this moves the needle with Mark in terms of decision making.

After this sale, the Davis family will be down to what like under 40% interest in the team? Still can't just buy out the other minority owners and take control of the franchise from what I understand. That is still under the Davis family and Mark.

This news comes the day they deal Adams for a 3rd (yes, conditional, but he'd need basically 100 yards a game plus 7 catches per game) to have a shot at being 1st or 2nd team all pro to activate the 2nd rounder or get to the AFC Championship game.

They just keep bleeding picks who aren't part of the team past their rookie contract, especially the first rounders. Very few picks since they lost in the SB in round 1 have earned a multi year contract after their rookie deal with the Raiders. And that's now like 20 drafts of players who have been eligible for one.
