The Las Vegas Raiders signed former Rams DB LaMarcus Joyner to a four-year, $42 million contract in 2019, with $16.7 million guaranteed. LA’s franchise tagged player in 2018, Joyner managed to cash in a large payday after playing a variety of roles on the Rams defense over his five-year tenure with the team. Unfortunately for the Raiders, there was little value to Joyner’s versatility or his ability over the first two years of the contract, so the team released him on Monday in order to save nearly $10 million against the 2021 and 2022 caps.
