We already now the Raiders are closely monitoring the veteran salary dump scene.
On Tuesday, the Cleveland Browns cut linebacker Christian Kirksey and by Wednesday morning it was reported that the Raiders were bringing him in for a visit. With free agency officially opening in one week, the Raiders are already being aggressive on the open market.

It makes sense. The Raiders badly need linebackers and Kirksey would fill a starting spot.
Later on Wednesday, another veteran felt the sting of being a salary dump when the Miami Dolphins cut safety Reshad Jones.
