I fully expected us to sign an IOL in FA. Especially seeing there was a lot to get. Interesting that it didn't materialize. $?JRaider17 wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 7:27 am:Still would like to see us add a corner and another offensive lineman.

How the hell did the previous regime put themselves in a situation where cutting a 38 year old Brian Hoyer after one season would lead to a $2.5 million dead cap hit? I can’t believe how terrible Ziegler was as a GM.Raidernation1979 » Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:18 pm
Ziegler didn’t handle the cap. Overall think he did a solid job. It seems his biggest issue was bowing to McDaniels and not having a spineheavyD wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 12:56 pm:How the hell did the previous regime put themselves in a situation where cutting a 38 year old Brian Hoyer after one season would lead to a $2.5 million dead cap hit?

Yes, I think that is why he needed to go when Josh was fired. He was not his own man and did nothing to separate himself from Josh. The huge signing of Jimmy Picks had Josh's fingerprints all over it.Raidernation1979 wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:18 pm:Ziegler didn’t handle the cap. Overall think he did a solid job.

He handed out the two year contract. You don't need to be a cap expert to realize that when handing a two year deal to a 37 year old journeyman backup QB, that you want to ensure that the 2nd year has an out. I can't imagine the Raiders were competing with other teams for his services as the guy is still unsigned and will probably never play again. Blaming McDaniels for everything is no different than blaming Gruden for everything despite the fact that there's ample evidence that Mayock also wasn't very good at his job. Ziegler unfortunately wasn't very good at his job which is why Davis fired him the same time as he did McDaniels.Raidernation1979 wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:18 pm:Ziegler didn’t handle the cap.

The second year has an out. They had to redo it to cut jones. It sucks but the original deal was only 1 year until the restructure to cut jonesheavyD wrote Thu Mar 28, 2024 6:38 am:He handed out the two year contract.

I'm sure he'll be a perennial pro bowler because everything that Team does unfortunately turns to gold
