The overreactions will be fun, it’s essentially a 1 year, 11.3M (20M total value factoring in Atlanta) deal for the #Raiders with Cousins
8.7M due 3rd day league year in 2027 with 2 years/80M after that. It’s essentially a deal set for the Raiders to have Kirk for 2026, and only 2026, if he’s tradable after the year then he’s moved to a team with a decent starting contract. If not he’s released with limited dead money as none of the 2/80 is guaranteed.
Atlanta is still paying Cousins in 26/27, his cap hit with LV will be near or exactly at vet minimum. Cousins will make 20M in 2026, but LV is paying 1.3M of that with additional money offset to 2027 and beyond through void years. It’s phenomenal cap space management.
Gotta give Spytek and his team their flowers. From the Crosby rumors, to standing firm on value, to handling the rescinded trade and still executing FA, they’ve been steady the whole way.
Feels like we’ve got the right people in place, a front office players and fans can trust.
Have found myself in a blunder here with the #Raiders and the draft:
After taking Mendoza, what two positions do you think have to be targeted with the next two picks?
I’m at OG and WR, in either order.
But I flip to CB and OT or even DT often
Maxx Crosby said he’s gonna be 200% ready by training camp and this is the best version of himself we will see.
#Ravens just unleashed a demon fr 😂
#Raiders
I’m seeing reports the Raiders might bring in Kirk Cousins to back up Fernando Mendoza… man f*** all that. If you want the perfect veteran mentor and backup QB for a rookie, just call Derek Carr.
