This is why you can’t keep burning through regimes. Have to find and get it right. Chandler Jones and Jimmy G will count $30 mill dead cap next season.

Jones gave LV 1 year then his life went sideways. Counts $13.5 mill in 2023 without playing a snap and will be over $12 mill in 2024. Jimmy G gets $35 mill but under $7 mill against the cap in 2023 this leaves $28 mill for 2024 if cut. Can spread over 2 years at $15.5 and $13 mill respectively.

But that’s why you end up spinning your wheels when you have to change regimes every 3 seasons. Means the prior one made mistakes and the next one eats their bad contracts and can’t put out a complete roster.

Who knew Chandler Jones would act crazy, that’s not on the Raiders.

No. But he was coming off a down season last year. Underperformed last year.

In 2023, raiders carrying dead cap of $10 mill for Littleton, $4.4 for Drake, $4 mill for Nassib and $4 mill for Leatherwood. That’s almost $24 mill for Gruden’s guys. And he wasn’t the coach in 2022. The bad deals from prior regime linger for 2 years.

The Raiders drafted Aiden O’Connell for a reason, use him and see what he can do.

Stop it with Jimmy G, he f***ing sucks without a good offensive line.
He needs Shanny’s scheme to allow his guys space for YAC after a sub 10 yard pass. Clearly wasn’t Josh on offense in NE. Seeing it clearly just how great a QB Brady was if this is the coaching Josh can deliver.

Brady was carrying all those Patriots bitches to cushy jobs.

As a raiders fan always hated Brady for the tuck rule game. Looking at it now, the man was so good.

Also, since Mark Davis has owned the team he has massively failed at personal in the front office, coaching etc.

I wished Magic Johnson and his team bought the Raiders, Mark Davis needs to go away.

He needs better people around him like an Amy Trask or someone to make the call on the new GM/HC and let them run the team. But that’s been the biggest Achilles heel for the raiders. Can’t get that right for 2 decades now.

The player is unlikely to sue the doctor for negligence on time. Even if the player did...juries tend to favor doctors.

The medical establishment...is plenty protected from legal liability.

By the time a player has symptoms after his career, the statute of limitations becomes a serious point of contention.

And subclinical symptoms are a real thing. I was asserting two different things, and I intended to.
Guy gets cleared independently, he is cleared, it is seen as being 100%. If he’s not, he doesn’t play. Don’t know what else to tell you.

By your logic on head injuries, 90% of the league would end up permanently injured every single week

Kind of expect players if they leave a game due to a concussion, that they miss the next game given the seriousness of head injuries.

For SF, the added lack of practice, short week (with travel), playing a team coming off a bye week, and a good team at that, probably not ideal to put Purdy in there. But coming off 2 straight losses, they wanted to stop the skid.

Players get in cold tubs after games. They're already injured compared to some office worker. Deion Sanders sacrificed his toe. Piles are where people try to cause damage, as Pat Mcafee reportedly alleges.

A player fudging questions on a concussion protocol test and the doc not pushing harder will unlikely result in a lawsuit because of the difficulty in proving both cause and damages. Without proven damage, a negligence action will fail.
