Well, part of the reason the Raiders cut him now was to avoid $16M in bonuses that apparently become due or unrevocable after a certain point. Not sure how they play into the cap, but by picking him up on waivers a team would probably be responsible for that as if it were a signing bonus. 16M would have some significant cap ramifications and I doubt anyone would want to take that kind of risk on a head case who couldn't make it 8 games with the Raiders.

My bet is he clears waivers, signs for a moderate signing bonus and has an incentive laden contract.
