Those hopes may have ended on the second day of 2019 camp with the big back getting waived.The second generation back led the entire NFL in rushing last preseason, leading the Raiders to stash him on IR last season in the hopes that he could make a push for a roster spot this season. He wasn’t given that chance again.Warren’s weight became a concern this offseason. The back listed at an already hefty 250 pounds was said to have ballooned to over 270 pounds. On top of his weight gain, Jon Gruden had made it clear Warren’s chances of making the team hinged on his ability to pass protect and catch the ball out of the backfield.On day one, he had a drop on a pass in the flat. If he wasn’t picking up the playbook either — a big part of being a good pass protector — it didn’t matter how many linebackers he could pummel. To replace Warren, the team brought back running back James Butler who was on the practice squad last season and was on the offseason roster for a time.Follow @LeviDamien The Raiders will assume a hefty cap charge under Antonio Brown‘s name this year, for obvious reasons. The Steelers, who no longer will be employing Brown as of 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, will assume a hefty cap charge, too.When the poo initially hit the propellor between Brown and the Steelers more than two months ago cheap josh jacobs jersey , we broke down his contract from all angles. For the Steelers, the most important angle is now this: Of their 2019 cap space, $21.12 million of it will be devoted to Brown.That number comes from the remaining balance of his $19 million signing bonus from two years ago ($11.4 million) and his restructuring bonus from 2018 of $12.96 million ($9.72 million).Last year’s payment created $9.72 million in 2018 cap room for the Steelers, and ultimately did nothing for Brown other than convert his base salary into a guaranteed payment (as if the Steelers would have cut him). According to the terms of his most recent Steelers contract, the $12.96 million bonus earned in March was paid out in 17 weekly installments during the regular season, just as it would have been without the restructuring.If the Steelers had kept Brown, his cap number would have been $22.165 million. But the Steelers quite possibly would have approached him about another cap-room restructuring — something he likely would have accepted if the relationship hadn’t imploded late last year.As it stands, the Steelers will save more than $15 million in cash, which can go to other players.Still, the cap hit is a major one, and the fact that the Steelers became so willing to absorb it shows how motivated they were to trade him.
