Played with Mahomes in college, too. Last I read the Chiefs had $177 in cap space, not a typo, so I'm sure it's a minimal deal. I'm thankful for the guy getting me some fantasy points last season and helping me win my championship but his 2019 was defined by that atrocious 4th down run... was it against the Texans? Had a hole you could've ran a truck through and ran into his own lineman.
They moved or redid a couple contracts a week or so back. Before Washington, they had about $3.5MM in space.
I still think it's hilarious an NFL team had $177 in cap space haha
I already told you how that works. But you make a good point . . . a fucking KC exception.Once a Raider; always a Raider.
Except I give Marcus a pass. Washington not so much.
I actually feel pretty good about paying Mariota $7.5 mil in comparison to paying McCarron the $5 mil.
Prices keep going up, including for the best perceived backup. Mariota’s cap hit this year (which includes expected to be earned incentives) is actually $9.125M. $7.5M was simply what was guaranteed. Thus, it’s a nice bump in pay for the perceived best back-up. For that investment, the Raiders received an option for ‘21. There will be no cap hit if the Raiders cut Mariota, but he’ll be on the books for $10.1M if not. If Mariota starts, he could earn an additional $28M over 2 years per OTC.
I wouldn't be surprised to see less sacks but still looking like a better overall player. Sacks are kind of an inconsistent stat for pass rushers and don't always tell the whole story. Crosby seems like he has a knack for 'finishing' though and some pass rushers lose out on a bunch of sacks by just barely missing. Crosby didn't seem to miss many sack opportunities... hopefully that continues. If Ferrell can improve on the other end and Nassib brings a little help that'll only be a plus for Crosby.Chances are, Crosby’s not getting 10+ sacks next year if history is any indication, but Raider Nation is full of believers.

32 including Crosby and Josh Allen last year. So 12 of the 30 did it again the second year.

@JoshDubowAP need some context for meaning here: how many rookies have had 10+ sack seasons?
Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP 34m
80.5% believe Crosby will be 13th player to start career w/ 2 straight 10+ sack seasons. The others: Joey Bosa Von Miller Aldon Smith Clay Matthews Jr. Shawne Merriman Terrell Suggs Kevin Williams Dwight Freeney Jevon Kearse Burt Grossman Derrick Thomas Garin Veris
Yea, no. Did he ever have 10+ sacks in college?
9.5 as a junior and 11.5 as a senior.
Well, I hope he can get it done.
