[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 495859"] Check out the $50 mil in dead cap money listed at the bottom of this link: [url]http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/cap-hit/[/url] For some reason they've not moved Huff's $9.5 mil into that list (he's still shown above on the roster). Now that Palmer's gone their dead cap is up to $60 mil. That might be an NFL record. Honestly, I have no idea if McKenzie will be a good or poor GM. It will take several years to work through the mess he inherited. The proof will be in the putting. The ex-Coach what's-his-name recently admitted he was selfish bringing in Palmer to try to save his ***. So the guy was both weak for that move and stupid for admitting it. This is symptomatic of what went on there. Besides the roster mess, he also has to worry about keeping butts in seats. Their stadium revenue is the lowest in the NFL...it's an old ballpark without much premium seating. Last year was the first year since 1995 they didn't have a blackout game. They're now living in the shadow of the 49ers who are on the cusp. These guys just [I][B]can't afford[/B][/I] to go 2-14 in front of a half empty stadium...they'll go broke. In fact, all that dead cap may be in part a byproduct of needing to reduce roster cash costs as much as anything else. So McKenzie has to try to stay some kind of competitive while trying to rebuild...thus the FAs. This ain't GB where sellouts are guaranteed. In perpetuity. [/QUOTE]
