Cardinals made it worth it to the Raiders to not cut him.

Still cost the Raiders $12 mill in dead money to trade him.

That’s why it was worth it to make the trade. Raiders get a 3rd to save $1.5m in cap to trade and not cut

This sounds strange anyway, how come they didn't explore their trade options before the news about releasing came, especially with how significant value they got in the end?

I prefer Andrews over Hudson.

They probably were exploring trade options. The reporters saying he was being released just had incorrect information.

I'm glad they got a 3rd instead of releasing him but I think keeping him might've been a better decision. I'm not convinced that Andre James will even come close to filling Hudson's shoes.
