If you claim him and then rework his deal you can still get the $5.7 M down to a lower figure this year. You'd only do this if you felt he was worthy of a long term deal. You'd have to talk through his contract demands if released from the Raiders.

So not at the $5.7 M number, but there's no reason you're stuck with that number.

In fact, there's no reason the Raiders are stuck with that number. They can rework Curry's contract to get the $5.7 M down lower. Not sure if they'd be able to get under the cap that way, but I don't see why not. If they've got lots of young players who they can't cut, they at least should be able to rework contracts.
