Raiders highest paid players and cap hits
The Raiders are in full-on salary reconstruction mode right now. Thus far they have only cut Stanford Routt in their attempts to cut under it. Even thought that move was more an overall financial move as opposed to a cap situation.
There are a lot of Raiders set to make a great deal of money this coming season. Many of whom present a considerable cap hit for the team which must restructure and cut a few more players if it hopes to be players in the free agent market.
Here is the list of the most expensive Raider player contracts and their approximate cap hit:
Richard Seymour 14,068,000
Carson Palmer 12,500,000
Kamerion Wimbley 11,850,000
Michael Huff 9,828,750
Darren McFadden 9,478,834
Tommy Kelly 8,892,856
Aaron Curry 5,757,500
Shane Lechler 5,650,000
Rolando McClain 5,570,000
John Henderson 4,750,000
Cooper Carlisle 3,000,000
Hiram Eugene 2,500,000
Darius Heyward-Bey 2,105,000
Kevin Boss 2,000,000
Sebastian Janikowski 1,700,000
Lamarr Houston 1,116,250
Mike Mitchell 965,500
Keep in mind that some of these figures may not be completely accurate as it can be difficult to nail down an exact figure at times. But, as the Raiders proved when cutting Routt, it is not so much the cap hit they are worried about but rather the overall amount of money the player makes. And there are a few contracts here that are not friendly in the least.
Nearly every one of these contracts will be dissected and the player will be asked about restructuring. Cutting Routt sent a message to these players. Either they restructure or they will be cut. Some will simply be cut. Granted Routt isn't exactly hurting but that is not the point.
The point is these players know that if they want to remain a Raider, they have to work something out. It is rebuilding time in Oakland. Either way, most of these players will help make room for new free agents.

""The massive Raider Nation is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most sinister mob of thugs and wackos ever assembled."--Hunter S. Thompson
"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.

We probably would’ve made the playoffs too.

Yep jason campbell would have thrown for 500 yards against the chargers instead of 400
Also would have been playing free safety against the Lions, Carson really fucked that up
Jason’s dynamic handoff style would have also made mike bush much more effective, as the offensive line wouldn’t have had to worry about pass blocking for more than one second

Don't blame cp
Campbell had the benefit of McFadden which Palmer did not. CP also had a D that imploded badly. If that unit performed just a little better they would have made the playoffs. Palmer is an upgrade, but certainly not worth the cost.
There are an inexplicable number of jc fan boys here
Numbed by the aaron brooks\mccown/walter era I guess, their sights were set so low that they thought jason campbell was a savior. They think nothing of actually completing passes down the field. All that matters is interceptions. It’s the only stat that counts. (never mind jason’s fumbles)
It’s ok, when the season starts and carson starts slinging tds and we see what he does with mcfadden, and jason is a backup in cleveland, we wont have to listen to it any more.

Agreed
Davis had an obsession with collecting strong-armed boneheads. Add Wilson, Shroeder, Hoss and Russell to that list. When he picked up campbell I groaned “not another one of these”.
They probably could have got him cheaper if they didn’t panic.
That's going back a ways.
Wilson had his problems, but he wasn’t a bonehead. And Hoss definitely shouldn’t be on your list. I appreciated Campbell, however CP3 is absolutely an upgrade.
long time ago
…I know. Hoss was tough as nails and a decent leader, but in spite of his strong arm he was one of the worst long passers in the game. His long balls would often look like punts caught in a strong swirling wind; you never knew where they were going to land. I lost count of the number of TDs he left on the field with Williams, Wright, Jett etc.
We probably would have made the playoffs
If Campbell doesn’t get hurt. It has nothing to do with Carson. If JC played against Kansas City or Denver (when Carson threw 6 INTs and Boller threw another 3) we probably win those games. After that, I think the season would have taken the same course. I don’t think he would have won the Detroit/GB/SD games, but we lost those with Carson as well.
All I’m saying is 1 extra win and we’re in the playoffs. You can’t tell me that with JC playing against KC/Denver we don’t have a decent shot of winning those games.
Misplaced confidence
in Campbell, I think. He was 3-2 when he went down. But then he had McFadden tearing up defenses, which makes a QB’s job a lot easier. Boller was 1-0 (or 1-1) and if you give Palmer a break by ignoring his first two games – crash course O learning, not playing all year, etc – he was 4-4. Of those, the D choked to Detroit. They should have won that one, but Miami and GB were blowouts and JC certainly would not have won those. They may have even won SD if the D decided to show up that day. Either Detroit or SD wins puts them in the playoffs.
Without carson's deep passes...
… Passes jason campbell hasn’t thrown in 7 years in the league, can’t throw, and won’t throw… We don’t beat SD, KC, maybe not even chicago.
Looking forward to the new season and watching our qb play.

agreed
but give CP 1 more year with healthy starting offense & a non shitty defense before regrets & yadda yadda you know the rest
life has a way of sucking the life right out of life
From the looks of this list,
I see these moves happening:
Palmer: restructuring (don’t know how much, but he damn sure needs to restructure.)
Wimbley: STAY (from reports I read, if we cut him, he gets 6.5 guaranteed, makes NO SENSE to cut him)
Huff: Either Restructure or cut (Leaning toward Cut, especially because of how Giordano played)
McFadden: Stay
Kelly: Toss-up – I do not know whether the organization wants him or not. I believe that he has earned that money, especially for the past 2 years, and that losing Kelly would be a terrible loss that we would have to replace in free agency, and that is something I do not like at all. Hopefully, he restructures, but I want him to stay.
Aaron Curry: CUT – I CALLED IT FIRST. We saw him excel in the run. However, once again, we are in a new defensive system, and The jury is out on whether he can play in the system or not. He was a BEAST last year, but as far as the next year goes, if he doesn’t restructure, I do not see the organization moving with that contract. Let’s hope that our defensive staff utilizes him AND Wimbley to the BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES.
Lechler: Keep
McClain: Keep – However, HE IS EXPENDABLE. There is a guy, that plays MLB, by the name of Jonathan Goff, from the New York Giants – LOOK HIM UP.
Henderson: Cut
Carlisle: Keep – ZBS once again.
Eugene: Cut
DHB: KEEP. You idiots that say trade him/cut him are well, idiots. If we’re not getting a 1st rounder for him, keep him.
Boss: KEEP, KEEP, KEEP. I watched this guy in NY. He runs routes well, and he is a HUGE target in the End-Zone. He has had his drops, but he wasn’t utilized well in the offense. He should be great in the West Coast, especially for getting those good yards on 1st-10, 2nd-short.
Janikowski: Keep
Houston: Keep, MOVE HIM INTO THE INTERIOR.
Mike Mitchell: Keep. This guy plays man coverage on TEs VERY WELL.
How much are we under the cap with Huff, Curry, Henderson, and Eugene cut?
I am a Raider Fan. But I also a player's person as well.

I really hope Curry stays, and has a chance to be utilized properly this coming season. Near the line of scrimmage he was awesome (Just ask Marcus Mcneil and Reggie Bush).

great assessment
For me KW should be asked to restructure. If the cut hurts that much, time to redo that deal. Huff is a cut. Any monies saved on him can be used to try to land Goldson. Curry should be restructured. He was traded for a 6th round pick. He is not worth #4 overall money anymore. And as for Boss, not only keep, but start to use the guy!
The Huff and Wimbley contracts are ridiculous!. I believe KW has already said he wouldn’t take a pay cut, to stay. Can’t help but what wonder what Al was thinking, with those 2 contracts. As much as I like Lechler, 5.6mil, for a punter, is a little questionable too. Guess we’ll see who really want to be Raiders, in the coming days and weeks.

huff and wimbley
trade em away for low draft picks..
just to move the salary
ask lechler to retructure and sign a long term to end his career as a raider
Campbell & Other contracts.
I see above that a few people think that having Campbell fit would save us money. He is a FA now and with only Pryor behind him as back up the ball would have been in his court. He would have no doubt, as a starting NFL QB, with maybe his last big contract (consideing his age). I guess this would have been min 5 year 50/60 mil with about 30mi guaranteed. with these figures he would have probably been on 10/12 million maybe even more as it would be weighted so he gets more of his money early. We would be no better off having Campbell under centre than Palmer….
As far as I am concerned.. Huff isn’t worth half his contract. He goes missing in whole games sometimes. I would cut Huff and give Branch most of the money we save.
If Wimbley won’t restructure he is probably gone. He doesnt work very well in 3-4 def which is why we got him in the first place as he wasn’t playing up to standard at the Browns and as we are probably heading that way anyway.. I think he should go.
Mitchell just sucks. he says he is a good man2man player but I watched him get roasted almost every time the ball came in his direction and one specacular INT doesn’t hide it for me. I want him out!
Everyone else is worth their place in the team & we should work our hardest to get the restructures in place.
Situation isnt that bad.
I consider Huff the most overpaid. If they really want to rid themselves of those types of contract then Huff should be cut. Not that I think we need to purge the team of overpaid players, I dont. Just saying his pay is the most unjustified. If he can be a good corner I’d actually keep him. I have doubts but they have plenty of film they can look at and judge.
Wimbley is a tough call. Based solely on his 2012 cap numbers I would keep him. However I dont know the details of 2013 onwards. If his contract puts us in that same position again in 2013 and 2014 then it makes a lot more sense to eat that 6.5 million guaranteed this year. Otherwise it doesnt.
Kelly probably shouldnt be cut just because of his salary. He might be a casualty of switching to the 3-4 though. Really just depends on how the coaching staff feels about fitting him in. If they do cut him, they’ll need to sign a NT and good ones dont come cheap. So the savings wont be all that great without loseing productivity.
Curry should be extended IMO. It could reduce his 2012 cap hit and allow the team to retain him for a few years.
They could also extend Palmer. I wouldnt do it yet though. I’m a little concerned that he hasnt played in a west coast system before and he has to improve before I’d lock him up. As long as we can afford the cap hi, we could wait until late in the 2012 season or even after the season is over to negotiate. If he plays well the first half of the 2012 season, then start negotiating. Yes, we can get under the cap without extending Palmer. Its not hard at all if we dont sign any high profile FAs.
Henderson was a very good player but its probably time to cut him. His body just cant take much more punishment. I’d be surprised if he doesnt end up on IR if he plays.
I dont see keeping Eugene at that salary but it doesnt cost anything to let him come to camp and prove himself healthy. If he is healthy and has a strong camp they could keep him even at that salary if he plays well. Its unlikely that he is and does IMO but I’m not his doctor.
I dont like Boss’s contract. This year isnt bad but how much is guaranteed in 2013 if he’s still with the team? I cant really judge without more info. Maybe not this year but at some point I think he should be cut. He was overpaid.
You overlooked one of the more likely cuts. Chris Johnson’s salary is over 3 million. If he was healthy and we cant aquire a good FA corner then it wouldnt hurt to let him show up to camp and compete. If he wins the starting job the salary becomes easily justified. I wouldnt take that chance. I’d rather find someone better and I dont think Johnson will be healthy.
The rest are keepers. You only cut McFadden if his foot condition warrents it. The decision has already been made on Seymour and its the right one. McClain is too young and talented to give up on. Yeah he missed some plays but also made a whole lot of plays. Carlisle is a zbs veteran who has hardly missed any games over the years. Lechler is the best punter in football. The other guys have reasonable salaries.
People need to relax......
Its early in the offseason, we dont have many draft picks, and we will get help in F/A. First we have to pay of the house AL was prepping to mortgage, sell some expensive old furniture and take the loss. Were not really in a restructure faze, its more like a Remodel. Some parts of the structure stay while other parts get scrapped.
Wimbley
According to Rotoworld, here’s the details of Wimbley’s contract:
8/1/2011: Signed a five-year, $48 million contract. The deal contains $29 million guaranteed, including a $4.25 million signing bonus, Wimbley’s 2011 salary, and $6.5 million of his 2012 salary. Wimbley’s full 2012 salary becomes guaranteed if he’s on the roster through March 17 of that year. 2012-2013: $11 million, 2014: $10 million, 2015: $11.5 million, 2016: Free Agent
So if I’m reading this right, we paid $9.25 million in 2011 ($5 mil salary plus $4.25 signing bonus) and if we cut him, we’d still owe $20 mil of his guaranteed salary? Or are we only on the hook for $6.5 mil if we cut him prior to March 17th?
The Autumn wind is a Raider Pillaging just for fun He'll knock you 'round and upside down And laugh when he's conquered and won
I believe if the Raiders cut Wimbley, they'll only be on the hook for 6.5 million and that's it
That’s what I was reading anyway. It will only save the team 4.5 million in cap space to release him.

Only 4.5 million
short term, yes, but alot more than that over the next couple years.
by RyanTheRaider on Feb 22, 2012 12:12 PM PST up reply actions
Which details we dont have
Like when we cut Routt this year before his signing bonus kicked in. Without knowing how much it will cost to cut Wimbley after the season is over, there isnt enough information. All we know is what it would cost this year. If the difference is only the 4.5 milllion paid this year and it costs nothing to cut him next year I wouldnt cut him. If he has another 6.5 milllion guaranteed next year and there isnt a way out of it if he plasy for us in 2012 then I might cut him.
he has been
paid 9.25 million in 2011, and is guaranteed 6.5 million this season, if we cut him we will have only payed him 15.75 million.If we keep him he will be payed the rest of his 11mil, which will bring the total up to 20.25 million.Im assuming that some of his salary will be guaranteed next season too,lets say .5 million less since his salary is 1 million less next season,that would make it 26.25 million, and we would be on the hook for 4 million still.I dont know if this is all correct but if it is, we will pay him 10.5 million more if we keep him for 1 more season and he would have a cap hit of 4 million next season if we cut him then, thats only .5 million less than if we cut him now.So, if this is correct, he should be cut now imo
by RyanTheRaider on Feb 22, 2012 5:58 PM PST up reply actions
Guessing doesnt help
We dont have the details.
Many big contracts are structured
So that its better to cut a player at one time or another. Just throwing numbers out of the blue tells nothing.
none of them are "out of the blue"
his guaranteed money from next season is the only unknown, and I based that off the previous years guaranteed money, so its probably pretty close.I agree we dont have all the details, but my point is, we save more money if we cut him sooner rather than later,(unless his contract is very strange and he has no guaranteed money in the 3rd year),and the cap hit from cutting him next year will be very close to the cap hit from cutting him this year.
by RyanTheRaider on Feb 22, 2012 10:23 PM PST up reply actions
Wrong
Contracts arent nearly that simple. Wimbley is not guaranteed money next year if he plays this year just because he’s guaranteed money this year for playing last year. Look what happened to Routt and his guaranteed 5 million this year. He didnt get it because he was cut before it became guaranteed. Teams put those type of out clauses in contracts to get out of paying a player who doesnt perform.
My bad
I overlooked that.If he is cut before his money is guaranteed, does he not have a cap hit?

I agree, we dont have all the details
but we do have alot of details.So, id say its more of an educated guess

Seymour?
22 comments and not one mention of the highest player on the team? Really? I love Seymour but has his play really been deserving of being THE highest salary?
I think the issue with Seymour is that his salary is fully guaranteed as of now.
So the discussion about a release becomes moot, but restructuring is the more likely path there. So it’s whether we grin an bear paying him this year, or continue to pay him even more in the future.

Maybe that's because Seymour got his 7.5 million dollar bonus already.
Which guarantees his full pay and a roster spot in 2012. So why mention releasing him?
Also, this is Seymour's last year of his two year contract.
That means in order for him to restructure, he would have to get a contract extenion. I don’t see the Raiders doing that either. He’ll get that 14 million this year. Then maybe sign a new contract in 2013, walk or retire
guys who should take a cut
palmer 12,500,000 – restructure
Kamerion Wimbley 11,850,000- restructure or cut him
Michael Huff 9,828,750- restructure but i’d cut him lose
Darren McFadden 9,478,834- not worth the money restructure
Tommy Kelly 8,892,856- i think has earned his money two time all pro last 2 yrs
Aaron Curry 5,757,500-restructure or cut
Shane Lechler 5,650,000- worth every penny been best player on team last 8 yrs
Rolando McClain 5,570,000- restructure not worth money
John Henderson 4,750,000-cut
Cooper Carlisle 3,000,000-cut
Hiram Eugene 2,500,000- on th edge close call
Darius Heyward-Bey 2,105,000- ok with his contract
seymour- 14,068.000- restructure hasn’t played up to it, kelly been better really
McFadden not worth the money?
1.yes he is
2.why would he restructure? if he doesnt it wouldnt be bad for him at all.Either nothing happens,we trade him for much less than what he is worth and he still makes the same amount of money, or we cut him and he gets a huge contract somewhere else.
McClain, again, why would he restructure? His salary is only 970k, he would easily get that somewhere else if we cut him.
Seymour, why would we restructure? all his money is guaranteed so its a win win for him if hes cut, to restructure we would have to extend his contract, and he would be making more than hes worth for even longer.
by RyanTheRaider on Feb 22, 2012 12:23 PM PST up reply actions
I'm completely fine with cutting Wimbley
Curry is just as good and would probably take the restructure. Restructure Huff down in the Lito Sheppard area. If we’re converting him to nickelback, he should be paid like a nickel. Give him $2mm or soemthing similar. Lechler and Jano are both great at what they do, but come on. You can get an average kicker for the league minimum. Same as the punter.
Carson will restructure. He dropped his salary last year and I’m sure he’d do it again.
Curry is in no way just as good as Wimbley.
Wimbley had a down year last year being misused and Curry has not shown much of anything except that he is not worth #4 pick money. Which is why Seattle traded him in the first place.
Curry was a steal in terms of 2010
Seattle footed his bill for most of last year and that’s why we were able to snag him. At his current price tag…he’s not even close to being worth that amount. His coverage skills are practically non-existent and that has really hurt us. He played a lot better for us than he did Seattle but not to the tune of $5M+. I’d actually like to see Curry back next season but I’d only do that if he took a good pay cut, which he already did with Seattle, or we cut him and try to get him back cheap.

Absolutely a solid restructure type of player

Only if we get Nicks and a top center
in free agency should we cut Carlisle, our OL is very young, Carlisle will excell in our return to ZBS; we need his experience, and should the Raiders move Wisniewski to center that improves the power in our interior line.
Problem with your proposed move of Wiz kid to center
is then the left guard spot would be weakened. Wiz is a better guard than center. Either the team finds a new center or brings back Satele. Those are the best options.
I think bringing back Satele makes sense
He would probably be the most cost effective guy and we know what he brings to the table. He’s better suited for ZBS anyways.

"There is no 2nd place in combat"
Fuck jane fonda
I just hope we don’t take too many steps back. If not for the penalties even with our way underachieving defense we should have easily won the division and gone to the playoffs. I understand these things take time I just would hate to see them get it into place right as some of our key players come up in FA and leave for more money
Why 9.7 million for McFadden?
Rotoworld lists his base salary as 5.6 million and Spotrac lists his salary cap hit for this year at 6.7 million. Both of these websites list all the others the same as you have listed here but not McFadden, certainly not 9.7 million.
"Committed To Excellence" Mostly just "Committed" though
salary and cap hit are two different things
Cap hit includes money that was awarded in bonuses which can include signing bonuses, roster bonuses, and incentive bonuses. Money that was already paid cant be recovered except in rare disciplinary situations like what happened with Ricky Williams. Salary is owed for each week of the regular season the player is on the team. If that salary is guaranteed he’s paid the salary even if he’s not on the team.
2012 Cap Hit is $6,716,667
They have Darren McFadden listed as $5,650,000 base salary, with $1,066,667 signing bonus owed and the Cap Hit is listed as $6,716,667 for 2012. He didn’t make money for bonus last year due to injury, had he not been injured he likely would have recieved another 2.5 million in incentive money.

im glad half of yall arent the raiders GM
our team would be all over the place if we left it up to yall. if we cut wimbley an curry would be horrible for the team. if we focus on wimbley stayin on the DL and moving the hidden gem travis goethel around im pretty sure he can fill that LB position wimbley was at. i wouldnt mind moving mitchell there on passing downs seeing that he was mainly in the box anyways when he was in. let satele walk barnes and carlisle go we still have heyer barksdale and the supposedly freak of nature bruce campbell. with the draft and free agents we should be able to fill in the spots seeing that the raiders draft better the later the rounds is we should be set i have full faith in the raiders to make the right decisions with out hurting the team
by Rell Rell Lynch on Feb 22, 2012 2:31 PM PST reply actions
You just did the same thing
The team can’t let all their linebackers go just as they can’t let all their starting offensive linemen go. Satele is a good lineman, as is Carlisle. The Raider don’t still have Heyer as he is a free agent. And Bruce Campbell has been inactive nearly his entire time in the NFL. I don’t expect him to make the team, let alone an impact. Your proposal would gut one of the strongest units the Raiders had last season.
i never said carlisle and satele was bad but wiz at C was way more affective then satele and seeing that barksdale played alot last year as a rookie in carlisle position when he got hurt or when satele got hurt we moved the line around and had heyer an barksdale in without losing a step i wouldnt mind seeing them walk if its going to help us with the cap. barnes is the wrong person to have on our line he did nothing but hurt us on crucial downs hes the weak link on our o-line hands down.

Parity in the league is the goal of the salary cap,
but the lack of parity between the players, is the problem with the team. when you have starters that are producing just as well, or close to, another player that makes 10 times as much, your going to have problems. There should be a cap on players salary, and I like the number $5,000,000. Tops, that’s it. Win and you make more in the playoffs.
If you ever wanted to see Boise St play...may be a good chance. Love em or Hate em, they are always interesting; and now, no matter where you live, "They're Coming To Your City"
wimbley hopefully restructures, curry i read somewhere will. we need to do something with lechler, thats a lot for a punter, even though he’s the one guy who’s earned his paycheck year after year. cut chris johnson, kelly can go, huff as well.
