And he gone.Thanks for the info. Sounds like the kind of player and team mate the Raiders D needs.
The Patriots, who have been the early FA spenders, have signed Judon to a 4 year $56M contract.

My youngest is named Colton. Watch it.Funny that their best pick was the one most criticized when it first happened.
People were DUNKING on the Raiders after Kolton was taken.
I will always believe part of it was the fact that his first name was Kolton.
The K is the problemMy youngest is named Colton. Watch it.
You got lucky... I was gearing up.The K is the problem
Has a sister named Kory, probably.
Also, hockey names.
EDIT: Brother's name is Chad, even better,
Oh, dude, I have a cousin Karen, she had that Kate Gosselin hairdo, the struggle is realmy wife is not so keen on all the "karen" conversations and especially the advertisements, like M&Ms
Overpaid.Have the Raiders officially just Gabe Jackson?
$16M/year for Thuney may reset the market for Guards. Thuney was easily the top FA available, but that it is a big contract for a guard. Maybe the $9.6M for Jackson wasn't as bad as we thought a few weeks ago.
Yea, he fell FLAT. I wasn't as excited as much as I was with Littleton with him but when we got him I was hoping he could provide some push up the middle.... and no.
I see Rappaport and Tafur reporting close.... consistent 8-9 sacks a year and upside for more. That would be pleasantly surprising get.Yannick?
Twitter says close
That was some thinking that if we brought in another pass rusher that Cle could kick inside. He holds up strong against the run as a DE so should continue if not being a true DT run plugger but then add rushing ability inside.Bradley had him in Jacksonville so hopefully that connection bears fruit. I do think that Cle could be effective inside next to Mo.
I'm not a fan of paying big dollars for FAs, but this is a deal I can get behind, if these terms are accurate. Ngakaoue isn't a stud DE, but is a stud situational pass rusher. Ferrell can continue to start at base DE and then kick inside to 3tech on passing downs with Yannick coming with fresh legs and pinned ears.According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s a two-year deal for Ngakoue worth up to $26 million.
I would like to see media reaction if you switched the teams on this transactionOddly enough, Bleacher reporting Agholor has signed with the Pat for the same terms as Ngakoue - 2 yrs, $26 MM.
Thx, but no thx to Nelson for $13 MM per. Good for him though.
Agreed. I am glad we let him walk on that money.Oddly enough, Bleacher reporting Agholor has signed with the Pat for the same terms as Ngakoue - 2 yrs, $26 MM.

Oh great, here comes another WR in the first round. Get used to another K name. Kadarius that isOddly enough, Bleacher reporting Agholor has signed with the Pat for the same terms as Ngakoue - 2 yrs, $26 MM.
Thx, but no thx to Nelson for $13 MM per. Good for him though.
Maybe they rethink it after seeing Thuney sign for $16 MM per.Cap update
There’s no way of knowing without having the full structure of the deal, but the Raiders had about $40.8 million in cap space before signing Ngakoue. Even that number wasn’t settled, though, as it relied on them releasing guard Gabe Jackson, which hasn’t happened yet. Jackson is set to make $9.6 million in 2021, so the Raiders only really had $31.2 million in cap space to work with.
Ngakoue certainly isn’t making that much, of course, so his deal will comfortably fit into Las Vegas’ cap space regardless. Until more details are disclosed, though, it’s impossible to know how much of that space is left over.
I saw the signing and was racking my brain if he played last year...Penn signed a one day contract to retire as a Raider. Enjoy the relaxing days to come big guy!
It was with Washington so would anyone have noticed or not?I saw the signing and was racking my brain if he played last year...
Wow. The Pats went crazy with the signings. Agholor was the best WR for the Raiders last season but that seems like too much money. The Raiders are in a bind now though. They have no outside WRs. Too bad Lamb was gone before the Raiders could draft him last year.Oddly enough, Bleacher reporting Agholor has signed with the Pat for the same terms as Ngakoue - 2 yrs, $26 MM.

I think Richard Sherman could be the next Raider signing. I think there has to be a DB signing of some sort on the way. I was very interested in John Johnson, but the Browns snatched him up.Echoing some of the comments already made here, there was a pretty interesting twitter reaction/thread yesterday regarding the two contracts the Patriots laid out for Agholor and Bourne, and that the media would be roasting any of the other 31 teams if those contracts were handed out...
I'm happy for Agholor getting his money, and agree the price point was too much for the Raiders to pay for his services. Really drives home the need for the rookie WRs to step up this year. I do see the Raiders bringing in another Vet before the start of the season, but do not see them drafting a WR in the 1st.
Who's the next FA target for you guys?
I'm hearing AJ Green at WR. But for me, they really need a veteran or two in the secondary. I agree Sherman would be a solid addition but he's lost a step and would be more of a coach on the field for the young corners, which has value. But they really need a vet at free safety, theres just too much inexperience on the back end.Echoing some of the comments already made here, there was a pretty interesting twitter reaction/thread yesterday regarding the two contracts the Patriots laid out for Agholor and Bourne, and that the media would be roasting any of the other 31 teams if those contracts were handed out...

grrr.... big leap from Ruggs coming up, hoepfully?Wow. The Pats went crazy with the signings. Agholor was the best WR for the Raiders last season but that seems like too much money.

I think they're holding out hope a team like Chicago will get desperate and offer them a decent draft pick for him. I gotta think, the last thing they want to do is cut him and get nothing.Are the Raiders going to keep Mariota? Figured he would be cut by now.
That's what I thought too, but with his contract I don't think anyone is going to take him for a pick.I think they're holding out hope a team like Chicago will get desperate and offer them a decent draft pick for them. I gotta think, the last thing they want to do is cut him and get nothing for him.
Raiders hold the cards on this one. Mariota's contract at first pass seems to be restrictive in terms of the trade process, but I see it differently. It's incentive based, and could range from $10M to $19M. Not a bad salary if a team wants a start or competition at the position. And as the Trent Brown trade showed, the team acquiring him can work a contract over.Are the Raiders going to keep Mariota? Figured he would be cut by now.
I think the problem is any team acquiring him is on the hook for the higher end of it if they want him to start.Raiders hold the cards on this one.

Additionally to the Raiders favor, here is no dead money in the deal. So if they can't find a trade partner, the Raiders can cut him or ask him without a problem.
Current Mariota Incentives:
- $200,000 per game in plays 60% snaps (1 earned)
- $125,000 per win + 60% snaps played ($0 earned)
- Max $1.5M for playing time + wins bonus
- Max $2M playing time + wins + playoffs
- $625,000 2021 escalator for every 2020 game played (60% snaps, 1 earned)
- $250,000 bonus AND 2021 escalator per playoff game (50% snaps)
- Super Bowl Win: $1M bonus AND 2021 escalator
Can't be... really? I could be very wrong. But in a trade, the incentives wouldn't become part of his base salary. Would they?I think the problem is any team acquiring him is on the hook for the higher end of it if they want him to start.
No, but as was stated if a team is trading for him to be their starter he is going to hit some of those incentives.Can't be... really? I could be very wrong. But in a trade, the incentives wouldn't become part of his base salary. Would they?
I'm guessing that if Mariota is told the trade is contingent on him renegotiating his current deal or face being cut and not earning a dime from his current contract, he will sign a new deal.No, but as was stated if a team is trading for him to be their starter he is going to hit some of those incentives.
I heard a rumor that he was basically traded to Washington at one point a couple weeks ago, but because of his incentives, they only offered at 5th round pick and the Raiders said no.No, but as was stated if a team is trading for him to be their starter he is going to hit some of those incentives.
Passes the sniff test. Assuming they plan on drafting a QB and don't want to push him to start right away. The contract to Fitz 1 year 10M (with incentives up to $12M) show their thought process a bit. Fitz is a stop gap.I heard a rumor that he was basically traded to Washington at one point a couple weeks ago, but because of his incentives, they only offered at 5th round pick and the Raiders said no.
