Raiders are stupid. They will take a major cap hit by releasing him. Just let him play another year. He had the worst year of his career and he’s not a bad quarterback

It’s all so McDaniels can have a scapegoat. He’s a terrible head coach. Colts dodged the bullet and let it hit the Raiders instead.

With so many bullets being dodged and hitting the Raiders over the years,I'm thinking they ARE the NFL Shield lol

Literally, NFL investigates Redskins and Dan Snyder and only thing that happens is Jon Gruden gets outed as a racist.

C'mon, you weren't actually expecting an investigation run by the NFL commissioner, paid for by and reporting to the owners, to have consequences for one of said owners? In an off the field matter no less?
Whosdaman t1_j8arp13 wrote
Of course not, but it was funny how the Raiders ended up being the only one suffering consequences. They are the Missouri of the NFL.

Saints took a pretty big hit on Boutygate when the whole damn league was doing the same shit.

But not in front of the entire nation in an NFC Championship game against a (formerly) beloved Brett Favre though.

You honestly don't remember what particularly led to the NFL's interest in bounty-gate? The repeated late and dirty hits on Favre in the Championship were it. And fuck Favre - not a fan.
see-bees t1_j8i197w wrote
No, I remember the game. But I also remember that everyone outside of Minnesota celebrated the strategy at the time. Favre was an older, less mobile quarterback who held onto the ball too long, QBs were not yet a protected species, and refs tend to hold onto their flags in the playoffs. It wasn’t a NICE strategy, but it was a viable one given the state of the NFL at the time.
Here’s the real deal though - the only reason it really mattered is because the NFL, after YEARS of denial, finally had to admit that concussions were bad in 2012. The Saints and NFC championship game, until then viewed as “this is what the NFL is about”, got flipped to “this is everything that’s wrong with today’s game, stop it now.”

Fair enough. I could be projecting too.

And give them an excuse to void the contract and lose out on 40 million bucks? Just go out there on opening day and start chucking some INTs. That'll solve the playing for them problem without losing a single dollar.

It’s 5mil cap hit, not major at all

This year is the only year they can get rid of him without being on the hook for the remainder of his deal.
kingp43x t1_j8c1j4x wrote
It will cost them about 5.6 million to cut him

Nah, it’s 5mil. The major hit would be the 40mil we’d have to pay this clown to continue throwing L’s
