What's oakland to do now?

McCown is a guy that I think could succeed on many teams, but especially on a team like the Raiders, where the receivers are so good. Also he's used to playing behind a terrible line, so the difference between them and the raiders is the defense, and the RB (at least for McCown)

Maybe but didnt they just rework Mc Nairs contract and push back a ton of $$$... That would all accelerate if the cut him. Voleks salary isnt that low to where he could be the #3 QB. Not saying it WILL happen but it was just a thought. Volek has wanted out of Tenn for a chance at being a starter now. I am sure he would jump at the chance to get the start in Oak.....

Tennessee paid McNair a 1M option to keep from having to pay him 50M to excercise an option in his contract to extend it. Basically they paid him an extra million dollars to make him a FA next year. His cap number is around 24M this year, so there is still speculation he may be cut if he does not take a pay cut. Cutting him would save 10-11M, I believe.
