I just don't see how they can stick with him at $33 million next season. His cap hit damn near doubles.
Now maybe, given that Adams cap hit doesn't really increase much next season, they can get him to restructure for a season and then move on from him the following year. That might make the most sense - you probably don't want to burn the last cheapish year of Adams with a rookie QB before his cap hit goes up to $25 million.
But like I said - that just feels like delaying the inevitable. What looks like it will be BETTER for them next year? What young ascending talent do they have? Crosby will still be good - but he'll cost 3 times as much with a $20 million cap hit next season vs. 6 this year. Chandler Jones goes from 32 to 33 years old and his cap hit goes from $8 million to $19 million. Kolten Miller's in his prime but his cap hit goes from $7 million to $18 million. Renfrow goes from $3.5 million to $14 million.
And there's no way out on those guys. Crosby, Jones, Miller and Renfrow will cost $47 million MORE on their cap next season than they do this season and at best you'll get the same level of play from them (and probably reduced play from Jones). Go ahead and re-structure if you'd like - you're just moving that pain down the road so you can feel it as Adams is aging and getting more expensive and Carr DEFINITELY needs to cut or be restructured as his base salary passes $40 million.
The Raiders are ****ED. Just absolutely properly ****ed. They pushed a ton of chips in for this season and it is NOT going well.
