I'm not nearly as worried about the 4th as I am about what his contract will look like.
I would say it is obvious that a restructure or completely new contract is part of the deal, but I'm not sure I trust Mickey anymore with anything other than cap work.

I've seen this a couple of times and I'm confused by it. We've been in cap hell every year since like 2011 and somehow he knows what he's doing with the cap... The only thing he knows is to borrow from future years to pay for current year. That clearly hasn't worked.

If we're planning a restructure or new contract, why trade for him at all? Just let him be cut and give him a new contract. He has a no trade clause, so if he wants the Saints he can just force the Raiders to cut him. The only reason we'd trade for him, IMO, is because Derek wants to keep his current contract. I think he's got 120 million coming over 3 years. That's probably more than he'd get as a FA.
