According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Raiders are expected to release receiver Ronald Curry. Per NFLPA records, Curry was signed through 2011, at a base salary of $3.5 million this year. Per Schefter, the net cap savings will be $2.3 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Didn't do much at all this season but did very well in 2006 and 2007. Its hard to do well at all in Oakland and wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in here. He could definitely fill Coles' role and for a cheaper price tag.

SayNoToDMC Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Do you mean trade Coles? cause I'm not exactly clear on how cutting him helps us at all. We guaranteed the remainder of his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm siked. What do you not get about the fact we're forced to pay him that money either way? Cutting him makes no sense. If you can find someone who wants to trade for him and give him the new deal he's going to want, great. Otherwise try to understand we're stuck with him.

We are not stuck with him, try to understand that. Either way we are giving him his $5 million whether its by keeping him, releasing him or trading him.

You keep it in house, you don't come crying to the media like he ALWAYS does, win or lose. We should've never traded back for him. We should've known after he left for a couple more million (it was literally $1 million more a season) to Washington that he was a scumbag that didn't care about anybody but himself.

slats Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Either way we are giving him his $5 million whether its by keeping him, releasing him or trading him. He is a locker room cancer, it is worth the release. He will absolutely not be released. No NFL GM would see that as "worth it." That's absurd. He's a very solid player who's the furthest thing from a locker room cancer. His teammates love him. And they love him for a lot of the things that you and too many other Jet fans don't: He's willing to speak his mind. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He talks too much for some, but he brings it every Sunday. I'd take 53 of him on my team. You keep it in house, you don't come crying to the media like he ALWAYS does, win or lose. We should've never traded back for him. We should've known after he left for a couple more million (it was literally $1 million more a season) to Washington that he was a scumbag that didn't care about anybody but himself. As opposed to every other NFL player, who sacrifice themselves and their families' welfare for the good of the team, right? Give me a break. NFL players have the shortest careers of any major sport, and have none of the salary guarantees that baseball and basketball players enjoy. I don't begrudge Coles or any other NFL player doing everything they can to get everything they can. Because if they're not worth it, they don't get it. Players outperform their contracts all the time, but the minute they underperform, they're cut. It's a sh!tty business, with the players getting the short end of the stick every time.
