If the Raiders are offering 19 we should take it and be happy Yan is done.
Why play hardball for 12 at this point? We're not resigning Yan. He doesn't want to play here, would likely sit out 2020 at this point....

Just take the first and be done with the whole ordeal. One step closer to a drama free locker room.
Picks 9, 19, and 20? Yes please. Thats OL, CB, and WR, easily.
Or NT, OL, CB.
Or... maybe make some moves and land a combo of Okudah and Jeudy. Or Wirfs and Kinlaw.

Of course... there might not be a lot to any of these draft day rumors.

I'm thinking caldwell's insistence on the 12th may be an inducement to the Jets to offer their 11th.

I get all that, but Yan really doesn't have any leverage in this situation..

He either signs a deal here...

Plays on the Franchise tag...

Or sits and misses out on a bunch of $$...

But that's not really a winning situation for us either? pay him a lot for 1 year and then he walks anyway or he sits and we get no comp and no pass rusher?
At this point we just gotta cut bait on the guy.
