I guess the Raiders kind of backed themselves into this corner when they slapped a 11.3 million dollar franchise tag on him before the lockout, but there’s no way in hell Kamerion Wimbley is worth 48 million over 5 years with 29 million guaranteed. He’s a nice player, but he’s not an elite pass rusher or anything and last year was his first good season since his rookie year, just in time for a contract year. Pretty good timing by him. Wimbley had 15.5 sacks in his previous 3 seasons combined before putting up 9 last year. It’s beyond insane that the Raiders gave Stanford Routt 3 years 31.5 million with 20 million guaranteed, Richard Seymour 2 years 30 million with 22.5 million guaranteed, and now Kamerion Wimbley 5 years 48 million with 29 million guaranteed, but they couldn’t resign Nnamdi Asomugha.
