Yep, they’d need to convert Miller’s salary, it seems. Raiders went from #14 in cap space to #28 with this move per OTC, with the remaining space needed to sign drafted rookies. Thus the team is currently tapped out. Its only other options are designate Hudson a post June 1 trade, cut/trade Richard, Heath, Parker, Key, Hurst, and/or rely upon roster exemptions for Carr, Richard and/or Morrow.
