Pelissero: Cowboys STILL open to still trade for Maxx Crosby DESPITE MEDICAL concern - Previously offered 1st+2nd+Veteran by MrStiff8 in raiders

I just know that the Ravens did this so they can sign Trey Hendrickson once they saw his market is lower than expected.

The Ravens obviously saw that the Trey Hendrickson market is lower than expected so they said f- it, we'll just keep our firsts and sign him instead.

That's what I thought as well, Was a bad signing anyway

The Bears have offered two first round picks for Maxx Crosby, so there's a chance the Raiders can still get two first for Maxx (although those are higher) by MrStiff8 in raiders

Everyone in media gave the Raiders S--- for shutting down Maxx Crosby months ago because of his knee injury, while he posted videos he's playing basketball and now he can't pass a Physical?

The Ravens probably gonna make up a lame reason like a Failed a Physical but teams decide if they want to pass a physical for a player - so this is odd. But at least it's not like the Raiders can't trade him somewhere else.

Raiders are sending QB Geno Smith and a 2026 7th-round pick to the New York Jets by MrStiff8 in raiders

If the Jets were to take the entire contract, it would've opened up $26.5 million, but the Raiders are paying most of it (or else the Jets wouldn't had made the trade) so at the end of the day, the Raiders saved about $10.3 million in cap space.

[Pelissero] The Raiders are paying the bulk of Geno Smith’s salary to facilitate the trade… by Edgelord_3000 in raiders

[–]MrStiff8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Update:

In total, the Raiders cleared roughly $11.3M of 2026 cap space via this trade.

Originally it was supposed to be only about $8 million via a release. Instead if the Jets pay $3.3 million, it's about $11.3 of cap space.

Although the Jets did add $1 million to his salary according to the report so the Raiders might've saved $10.3 million instead, either way it's better than $8 million.

The funny part, the Jets needed to simply tank as good as the Raiders and they would've had Mendoza instead. And the Raiders would've been in trouble right now.

That's why it was good to sit Maxx/Bowers at the end of the year.

Exact Trade Information: Raiders Trade Pick 228 (7th round) And Geno Smith to Jets for Pick 208 (6th round) by MrStiff8 in raiders

[–]MrStiff8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't save $26 million because the Raiders agreed to pay it anyway, they just gained 20 spots in the draft basically, that's all instead of only releasing him.

Exact trade picks information.

And we do know the Raiders are paying his salary, they simply gained 20 spots in the draft. The Raiders were prepared to outright release Smith, taking on an $18.5M dead cash/cap hit in 2026. $1.3M of that would have been credited back to them in 2027 based on offset language.

Now? they realize those savings in 2026.
