Raiders Could Save $6.5M By Releasing LB Kamerion Wimbley

Last year the Raiders chose to franchise OLB Kamerion Wimbley and later resigned him to a $48 million dollar deal that included a staggering $29 million in guarantees but Jerry McDonald of the Contra Costa Times reports that the Raiders can get out of this deal by releasing him and paying him $6.5 million. This was the strategy that new GM Reggie McKenzie chose to take regarding Routt so it can’t be ruled out a possibility, especially when you consider that Wimbley has said that he’s not willing to renegotiate his current deal. If Wimbley becomes available, he would quickly become one of the best available pass rusher on the open market considering that this year’s group of outside linebackers is rather limited.

This doesn't sound like a good idea. He's be nothing but great since he joined the Raiders.

i would think mckenzie is working tirelessly to try and restructure a lot of these raiders contracts which are out of whack. If he doesn't, they're going to have to release some good players due to cap concerns.
