Raiders OLB Kamerion Wimbley Is Willing To Renegotiate His Contract

ESPN’s Bill Williamson reports that he’s “hearing” that Raiders OLB Kamerion Wimbley is now willing to restructure his current contract but isn’t willing to take a pay cut in the process.

Oakland could try to do something similar to what the Steelers have been doing with some of their players contracts which is to cut their base salary and convert that money into a prorated bonus that’s paid out over the duration of the contract. The problem for the Raiders is that their financial situation is so bad that this may not even be enough to justify keeping him on their payroll given the amount of guaranteed money that they’ll have to pay him.

It really seems like they’ll be forced to release him in the coming days despite the fact that he’s their best pass rusher.
