The Raiders have plenty of weapons at their disposal when it comes to handling Antonio Brown Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , and the Raiders can choose to be aggressive. But the player always will have rights, and the NFL Players Association along with agent Drew Rosenhaus will be charged with the responsibility of pursuing those rights.Whether it’s voiding $29.125 million in guaranteed money or, as explained below, trying to block his entitlement to the balance of his 2019 salary ($14.625 million) as Termination Pay if he’s cut despite being on the Week One roster, Brown will have the right to fight anything the Raiders do.As reported earlier this morning by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Raiders have already sent Brown a letter explaining “that he will no longer be entitled to termination pay if they release him.”Termination Pay is a benefit available to players with four or more years of NFL service. Basically, if a player is on the Week One roster and gets cut at any point after that, he’s entitled to collect the balance of his salary as Termination Pay. (Vested veterans routinely are cut before Week One specifically to avoid the Termination Pay benefit.)The labor deal gives teams a mechanism for blocking Termination Pay for a player who was on the Week One roster. To do so Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , the team must “demonstrate that, after receipt of a written warning from his Club . . . the player failed to exhibit the level of good faith effort which can be reasonably expected from NFL players on that Club.” Thus, before terminating the player’s right to Termination Pay, the Raiders must send Brown a letter that goes something like this: “The Club hereby provides you with written notice that you are failing to exhibit the level of good faith effort which can be reasonably expected from players on this Club. If you do not demonstrate the good faith effort which can be reasonably expected from players on this Club, you will not be entitled to Termination Pay under Article 30 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement if you are terminated before the end of this season.”It’s possible that the letter to which Schefter refers is the warning letter. Regardless, the Raiders surely are aware of the Termination Pay angle, and they will try to block Brown from getting it, if/when they cut him.Still Bo Jackson Jersey , the issue of Termination Pay and other guarantees will eventually be resolved by a third person who may, or may not, agree with the team’s arguments. Which means there’s a chance that, in the end, the Raiders will be without the player, without the money, and without the third- and fifth-round picks that were sent to Pittsburgh. The tight end position was one of the few positions of strength for the Raiders in 2018. Jared Cook and Lee Smith formed a great receiving and blocking combination. Derek Carrier caught the game..."The tight end position was one of the few positions of strength for the Raiders in 2018. Jared Cook and Lee Smith formed a great receiving and blocking combination. Derek Carrier caught the game winning pass against the Steelers in week 14. And Darren Waller had a few eye opening plays showcasing his incredible speed for the position.However Jared Cook is expected to test the open market and in that scenario the Raiders could lose arguably their best player on offense.The Raiders need to pay attention to the TE class in order to hedge their bets in the event Cook doesn’t come back to Oakland. Here are a few Raiders fans can keep their eye on this weekend.Matthew O’Haren-USA TODAY SportsT.J. Hockenson, IowaHeight: 6’4 3/4Weight: 251 lbsHockenson is widely considered not only the best TE in the draft but one of a handful of slam dunk https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , surefire prospects available in the NFL draft. Hockenson doesn’t have any holes in his game with the ability to haul in contested catches, stretch defenses down the seam, and crush souls as a run blocker.Hockenson would have to bomb the combine in order for him to be available at 24th overall. So Raiders fans, lets hope he trips during his 40 yard dash or gets into an altercation with NFL personnel during a drug test— that way the Raiders have a chance to pick him late in the first round.Irv Smith Jr, AlabamaHeight: 6’2 3/8Weight: 242 lbsSmith Jr. is not as big as Hockenson but he is a more dynamic athlete. Possessing supreme body control Smith is a threat at every level of the passing tree. His father, Irv Smith Sr. played in the NFL for 6 years so it is likely the Junior will handle himself with the utmost professionalism during the combine process.The Alabama product had 710 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns during a National Championship run.Smith was the type of player to make clutch catches when his team needed it the most in 2018. The University of Alabama strength and conditioning staff will have made Smith into a combine machine and he has a chance have the best testing results when the day is over.Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsKahale Warring, San Diego StateHeight: 6’5 1/8Weight: 252 lbsWarring is a late round prospect for those of you who think a 1st or 2nd round TE is too rich for this Raiders team. Warring is the quintessential developmental prospect who didn’t produce much but was impressive when he did.Warring is the same size as Jared Cook coming out of college. If he tests close to the athletic freak that is currently on the Raiders roster then his draft stock stands to gain some momentum heading into April.
