The interesting part of that article is that the NFL wanted Adelson out of the deal.
So while the MSM reported it like the Raiders were fucking up and doomed, NFL insiders were apparently celebrating.

Remember when the Bears took a chance on an unproven young dude with a huge arm that turned out to be the definition of perpetual journeyman mediocrity and overpaid him for years? Encore.
AP's thinking about NE.According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Mike Glennon has his eye on the Chicago Bears -- and the feeling is mutual. Rapoport added that Glennon is set to fetch between $14-15 million per year.
Citing a source close to the veteran running back, the Boston Herald reported Sunday that Peterson would consider accepting a team-friendly contract from the Super Bowl champions.
...
Until agents begin negotiating with teams on Tuesday, though, Peterson-to-New England is simply conjecture.
...
Belichick has been reluctant to pay running backs in excess of $2 million per year. Would Peterson be willing to leave several million on the table if another contender -- such as the Raiders, Giants or even his old familiar Vikings -- offers considerably more?

Dwayne Allen to NE. Guess Martellus is getting shopped.
WR Brandon Marshall signs on for two with NYG. If Eli Manning didn't suck, the Giants might have an offense.
Hoyer is going to be a 49er in all likelihood, as is ... Garcon?

Who in the fuck is Cousins going to throw to now? Jordan Reed for the four games he's actually healthy during any given season?
Didn't learn the lesson with Bowe, did they?

If Cousins still has a decent year, then Catt will have to admit Cousins might actually be ok.

But they are not keeping him.. essentially they are gonna pull off something like an NBA trade. they just bought out his contract and will get Houston's 2nd rounder next year.
They must have a trade partner in place, or they're just gonna cut him and eat the cash..
Cleveland now has 5 second rounders between 2017 and 2018 draft. I predict the Browns will now try and trade for Jimmy Garoppalo, as crazy as all this may sound.

The Texans also will get the Browns' fourth-round pick this year in exchange for their own 6th-round pick. So Cleveland gets Osweiler's contract, a 2018 second-round pick and a 2017 sixth-round pick, and Houston gets Cleveland's 2017 fourth-round pick, saves $10 million in salary-cap space and $16 million in cash.
Cleveland is not committed to keeping Osweiler and is likely to try to trade him, sources said. If that happens, the deal would turn into a basketball-like trade in which NBA teams routinely trade contracts to get them off their books. That move rarely happens in the NFL.
It's hard to remember in the salary-cap era another team when a team traded a contract to get it off its books. But Houston was so eager to rid itself of Osweiler and move on to its next quarterbacking chapter that it is giving Cleveland extra picks to take him and his contract.
The Browns headed into this free-agent signing period with more than $100 million worth of salary-cap space and would struggle to spend it all. Now they can devote some of it to Osweiler's contract and acquiring extra draft picks from Houston.
