“Look what happened when we gave up on Darnold too early! Quick, let’s get Geno back before he does that too!”

Translation: "I'm pumped that the Jets traded for me so I get to keep this insane contract the Raiders signed me to"

No joke... if they just let him be released and then signed him, they would've paid him veteran minimum due to offset language, less than $2M. Because they traded for him, they lost a draft pick AND also have to pay him almost $30M in guaranteed salary. They are blowing almost $30M extra money and a draft pick for basically no reason.

They have a salary floor to reach too. It can't all be dead cap.

They had to shut down construction for over a week because one or to of the workers spraypainted hate stuff (I heard it was swastikas). Not sure what came of it but they were offering other workers $100k to tell them who did it.

It sounds like the Raiders are eating most of the money on the contract and the Jets are paying near the vet minimum.

I think this means Murray said no to going to the Jets.
