yep. Thus my attempt to change the subject of the beaten horse that is XLIX. I was at the game, don't need any more reminders :shock:

As I understand it we will be on the hook for his $8 / $9 million salary if he returns. Raiders don't want it so that would force us to cut him or take him back......
So it is quite tricky. The trade-off could be a redone contract changing it to $4M - $5M AND then trade him to Raider for something and he keeps the $5million from signing bonus
Personally - I would rather sign AP than Lynch
It's not really all that tricky unless you believe that Lynch is out to screw the Seahawks. It's quite easy for him to sign a new contract with the Raiders after the trade and they would be contingent on each other. Since he'd only play for the Raiders, and Schneider has said that he has a great relationship with their GM, it should be a breeze to make it happen. I'd look for a second half of the draft pick, and it may even be a future pick dependent upon his playing time.

He owes us nothing.
Have to admit it would be something to see the Raiders go to the SB and it comes down to a final play on the 1-yard line and they hand it off to Beast and he smashes it in for the TD.

He was arguing an outright release or a 7th and I was thinking a 5th if we're lucky.
