Rolonda McClain is costing them $11million against the cap alone.
The team has no talent and no money.
Interesting article though...they'll be in good shape next year...like us! The new coach has cleaned house, returning only 10 of 22 starters from last year. Some notable departures: Richard Seymour, Carson Palmer, Tommy Kelly, Michael Huff, Matt Shaughnessy, Desmond Bryant, Phillip Wheeler, Dave Tollefson, Shane Lechler and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Raiders take major dead money now for major cap space in 2014 - Silver And Black Pride
Next offseason is going to be the Bruce Allen and the Ghost of Al Davis show...big spending. Look how well we've done with the $36 million cap hit. We built a Super Bowl contender at that huge disadvantage and next year we'll have $18 million extra to spend over the past two years. We're going to really solidify this team. We'll be able to afford some of the top FAs.

Per @SI_JimTrotter 's research last night, #Raiders 1st-team defense allowed scores on 16 of 18 possessions this preseason. That's no bueno
