The Facts: According to PFT, it won’t be a surprise if the Raiders decide within the next three weeks to move on from Lynch. His contract has a $1 million roster bonus that comes due on March 18.

Diehards Line: PFT's Mike Florio stressed that not cutting him before March 18 won’t mean that Lynch will definitely be on the Week 1 roster. The Raiders may decide that they’re willing to pay Lynch the $1 million in order to continue their evaluation of him. If he’s on the roster hen the season starts, Lynch will get a base salary of $4 million, along with $46,875 for every game during which he’s a member of the active roster. He can also earn a $250,000 workout bonus. That’s a total payout of $5.25 million. Unless new HC Jon Gruden believes he’ll be getting $5.25 million in value from Lynch, it makes sense to move on. Remember, Gruden told a group of fans in Oakland last week that he wants Lynch to be all in, all the time. Stay tuned. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.
