The Raiders could have other options if they lower the draft pick requirements. There are 5 or so teams currently in the playoff hunt that have enough cap space open right now that they could take on his contract, even more if a couple of weeks pass and the Raiders pay a few more checks. Many of them also could instantly convert some of his salary to signing bonus and kick his salary to future years because of how much future cap room they have. He might really make a difference on some of those teams, enough to cough up a 3rd and take on some salary. We are not one of the teams that can do those things.
