OT: Raiders news, notes

Marshawn Lynch-approved selection of RB Ashton Jeanty may seem like a Raiders home run — but it’s also in defiance of several NFL trends
The Raiders became just the fourth team since 2000 to spend first-round draft picks on tight end and running back within two years, data from TruMedia and NFL Research found.
Interesting. Bucking NFL trends.

He’s made what like $200 mill?
LB Jaylon Smith to sign with Raiders after minicamp tryout
Jaylon Smith's NFL comeback will continue with Las Vegas.
That is up to 2024 season. I think he is still due his $10 mill roster bonus which became guaranteed at the start of the 2024 league year. So, roughly $205 million.
If his shoulder is wrecked, or if he would prefer to rehab it to where it's functional for him, vs having it strong enough to withstand a 300 lb DL landing on him, then fine to retire.
Raiders make AJ Cole NFL's highest-paid punter with 4-year, $15.8 million extension
Cole averaged 50.8 yards per punt last season, third-best in the NFL in that category.
Nice
Why though? No diss, but I get paying a K. A P, I don't see the value to paying top of the line for one. No issue paying someone a 2nd contract, but not sure paying someone to be the highest is the best value. Haven't seen the stats on Cole to see what his hang time, Net yards on a punt (is more important to me than Average if you end up outkicking your coverage team), # of shanks (sub 30 yard punts), pinning teams inside the 10, inside the 20, etc. are.

I recognize the value of a P being able to flip the field is he has to make the Punt from his own end zone if LV is snapping the Punt inside their own 10 that you need the P to get the ball to midfield (minimum) but ideally to the opposition side of the 50.
