BarleyNY Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 15 minutes ago, Virgil said: Is this serious? They are broke? Their owner doesn’t have any major money coming from another source like most. The Raiders are the family’s revenue source. Couple that with two other facts: 1) the Raiders are the lowest revenue team in the NFL and 2) there is a clause in the CBA that requires all unpaid guaranteed money to be put into escrow at the time a contract is executed. That tells you a lot about their current financial situation and why they’re moving to Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Ray Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Serious question though - if one of AB's hangups was about getting the bulk of his pay as guaranteed, and now we find out the Raiders dont have the funds to put in escrow, where does that leave AB's contract status? Shouldnt Rosenhaus have vetted this out in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
