They could've essentially 'purchased' picks, IMO.

Nobody wanted to guarantee his $40 million this year so he was unwilling to accept a deal. Had the Raiders done something to bonus that money out, pay part of it, accelerate it onto their cap and send him elsewhere with say, a $20 million cap hit where he still gets his $40 million, I think he accepts the trade.

It came down to money. If he was going to have to restructure his deal somewhere and take less, then he was going to want to test the market. If the Raiders didn't want to take any dead money to get him moved, they weren't going to be able to get it done.
