But you can't look at these things in a vacuum. There is an overall approach. If you just look at one guy, and say, how did we let him go, without taking into consideration everything else, then it is just emotional reaction. You could literally do that with every player that leaves.

That's what I call hindsight bias lol neither of those contracts were considered bad at the time. Gurley was offensive player of the year when he got that deal. Cooks got his deal after 4 straight 1000 yard seasons. And then he had 1200 for us after signing the deal. If not for injuries and concussions no one is talking about those deals.
Littleton to Raiders
Raiders signing Cory Littleton to 3-yr, $36M deal
The Raiders are signing former Rams LB Cory Littleton to a three-year, $36 million dollar, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, as the four-down backer goes from L.A. to Las Vegas.
I believe the Rams just don't like his contact-shyness at that cost. Which is a good call. The media is all over his nuts but most of them aren't really aware of his shortcomings in the run game.
Maybe a third. The comp picks are awarded based on a combination of players signed and players lost who count toward the compensation formula, so you don’t know until next year about this time.
Nothing is certain & it can certainly vary but Saffold's $11 mil got Snead a 3rd CDPA. If Snead signs his own UFA's & is unhurried & patient while Tier 1 & 2 pass & waits till Tier 3 level of FA'cy the result should be the same in 2021.
