MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Word is they were expected to do that, so they didn't have to guarantee his salary. They'll sign him after the season starts and only have to pay him on a per-game basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there - George was like a rag doll the whole game with CB and BS taking turns sacking him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 that didnt last very long. 760107[/snapback] it's like he came in asking for a job and Al said sarcastically "Yeah, sure, come right in" then he actually showed up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 By releasing him and resigning him after the season, the Raiders will not be responsible for his salary the entire year unless he sticks with the team the entire year. This way, if they want to cut him after a couple of games, the Raiders would only be responsible for the prorated portion of his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
