One surprising cut each NFL team could make for 2020
By Randy Gurzi
Las Vegas Raiders: Gabe Jackson, Guard
Earlier in the offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders tried to trade guard Gabe Jackson. They had no takers though and Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report says his potential release is why there were no takers.
"“They placed Jackson, who started 83 games in six seasons, on the trade block prior to this year’s draft, according to NFL Network’s Michael Silver. The 335-pound guard didn’t have any suitors for two obvious reasons. First, other franchises understand the Raiders can cut Jackson and save $9.6 million outright. When an established veteran is a likely release candidate, organizations are willing to wait.” — Sobleski, Bleacher Report"
Jackson can still play but his salary is a bit high and the Raiders could very well decide to move on.
Los Angeles Chargers: Forrest Lamp, Guard
Back in 2017, Forrest Lamp was a highly-touted offensive line prospect coming out of Western Kentucky. He was a borderline first-round talent but slid to the second round, which is where the Los Angeles Chargers snatched him up at No. 38.
Since joining the Chargers, Lamp has struggled with knee injuries, starting with a torn ACL in his rookie campaign. He’s appeared in just nine games now in three years and it could be time for the Bolts to move on.
