So, it’s just a matter of whether the organization wants to take the hit upfront and have more money for free agency in 2025, or if they want the savings now to add a key player or two this offseason. But, if they want to split it up, they can use a post-June 1 designation and take on about $15.5 million in dead cap this year and then about $12.8 million in 2025. Per Spotrac, with a pre-June 1 release, the team will take on the entire amount in dead cap space this offseason with a little less than $200k in savings. Q: What are the salary cap ramifications of cutting Jimmy Garoppolo after the season is over? I’ve heard some say it would have to be after June 1st why is that?Ī: The best way I can explain this is the Raiders are going to have to take on about $28.3 million in dead cap space to cut Garoppolo this offseason, it’s just a matter of how they want to split that money up. More specifically, a lot of questions were about the coaching situation. With the Las Vegas Raiders playing on Thursday Night Football last week, we have a delayed release for this week’s mailbag and a bigger focus on the offseason.
