On Friday, the Raiders signed former 49ers’ outside linebacker, Aldon Smith, to a one-year contract worth up to $8 million. Because of Smith’s legal issues, the deal is largely contingent on roster bonuses ($250,000 per game) and incentives.
While the Raiders would love to pay Smith the full $8 million (that would mean 16 games, 10+ sacks), the most important detail of his deal could be what
isn’t included. According to a source familiar with the deal, there is no provision in Smith’s contract prohibiting the Raiders from using the franchise tag on him after the season – an option the Cowboys weren’t given in Greg Hardy’s one-year deal.
