68 Million. $34 Million Guaranteed, wow

Guess it paid to let his team go down in flames.

Heres to that chump weighing down the raiders salary cap for years to come and being the next akilli smith/Ryan leaf, Al Davis woulda been better off drafting a kicker first overall like mason crosby then that thug.

And he might well be riding the pine collecting his first years worth of checks, while he is studying the playbook, watching the team waste away another season.

68 Million for a rookie? I really hope the NFL makes up some sort of rookie salary cap soon, because i pity the next team who ends up with the #1 pick.

Probably gonna be the Raiders!!! What the heck are they gonna do if they do end up with a top 10 pick? I assume there will be some serious trading going on with draft picks.
