With the Las Vegas Raiders playing on Thursday Night Football last week, we have a delayed release for this week’s mailbag and a bigger focus on the offseason. More specifically, a lot of questions were about the coaching situation.
Q: What are the salary cap ramifications of cutting Jimmy Garoppolo after the season is over? I’ve heard some say it would have to be after June 1st why is that?
A: The best way I can explain this is the Raiders are going to have to take on about $28.3 million in dead cap space to cut Garoppolo this offseason, it’s just a matter of how they want to split that money up.
