I strongly disagree with a trade of Fred Davis. I think if a team offers anything at this point for Cooley we do it. As the rumor stated, if we can trade player for player and get a safety out of the deal that would work for me. |

| What safety is 1. An improvement over who we have and 2. Worth shipping CC out for? I'll throw olinemen in that question too. The Raiders aren't a team I think of as stacked at safety, or of having a great oline by any means... |

It was saidthat the Raiders are trying to save cap space, so unless a new team can negotiate a long term contract for franchised player, Fred ain't going nowhere. I respect your disagreement . |

| If a trade happened w Cooley who pays Cooley this year? isn't his cap hit pretty high? |

I find it hard to believe that a team would be thinking about Cooley this early.
It would seem like the receiver position would be more likely with Bey having issues. Also, the Raiders like the long ball (don't know if that is still true with Al Davis having passed), I would think that AAA would be a good bet. |

I was kinda proud of myself for thinking wr instead of TE  ,I guess time will tell. I do know we often trade w Oaktown so these "talks" probably happen yearly and may or may NOT equate to roster moves. |

If true, that would eliminate both Davis & Cooley. |

+1
Davis would eat up $5.4M where ever he landed and Cooley would be $3.4M |

Niksder- when a team trades for a player they take on that players cap hit right? Do they have a safety or oline player who is around or just above Cooleys cap hit that would even spark this kind of talk?
I'd be good w AAA for a right tackle back up, personally I hope that's what it is. |

The contract goes with the player but as far as the cap goes...
The new team only takes on the players base salaries and future option/roster bonuses not already paid

I heard the target player is/was RT Joseph Barksdale....
He signed a 4 yr deal last year worth $2.5M with a $540K signing bonus. the would have to pay him $465k,$555K, and $645K over the next three years. The Raiders would have to account for $405K ($135K this year and $270K next year in dead cap) that is the pro-rated money left from the signing bonus.
Technically the Raiders would clear $330K in cap space by trading Barksdale this season.
Moving Cooley would free up his $3.8M base salary but the cap hit would be $2.43M in 2012 and $1.64M next year.
This trade would add $3.47M to the Raiders 2012 cap and free up $905K in space for Redskins this year. |

If freeing up cap space is something the Raiders are trying to do, that doesn't sound like a good trade at all.. Would AAA be a better number for Oakland? I'm guessing yes.
As always thanks for the breakdown of the number game! |

True, but maybe we can get a draft pick out of the deal. We need plenty of that in the coming years. |

AAA would only add $160K to Oakland's cap |

We've drafted more plaer over the past three years than any other team (this is a good thing) and we have 7 draft picks next yaer.
While we could alway use more draft picks, it is media driven crap to think we are hurting for draft picks. This is based on past track record and the RG3 trade.
I'll wager, that after the 2014 draft (last year we owe any picks to anyone) we will have drafted more players over the past five years than all but a few teams. |

This is a good player with tons of upside.
I would do the trade NOW in view of Brown's injury prone status. |
