If the Raiders/the new general manager doesn’t think the team will be active in free agency this offseason, then taking the dead cap hit now would make sense so they have more money to play with the following spring. So, it’s just a matter of whether the organization wants to take the hit upfront and have more money for free agency in 2025, or if they want the savings now to add a key player or two this offseason. But, if they want to split it up, they can use a post-June 1 designation and take on about $15.5 million in dead cap this year and then about $12.8 million in 2025.
Per Spotrac, with a pre-June 1 release, the team will take on the entire amount in dead cap space this offseason with a little less than $200k in savings. Q: What are the salary cap ramifications of cutting Jimmy Garoppolo after the season is over? I’ve heard some say it would have to be after June 1st why is that?Ī: The best way I can explain this is the Raiders are going to have to take on about $28.3 million in dead cap space to cut Garoppolo this offseason, it’s just a matter of how they want to split that money up. More specifically, a lot of questions were about the coaching situation.
With the Las Vegas Raiders playing on Thursday Night Football last week, we have a delayed release for this week’s mailbag and a bigger focus on the offseason.
