Raiders are about to overpay for offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele
The highest paid offensive guard in the NFL is Mike Iupati who is making 8 million a year, and according to Rand Getlin that will be shattered in a big way with the deal the Raiders just pulled off with Ravens offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele.  The Raiders are expected to pay more than 10 million per year for Osemele, which will boost the offensive guard pay around the league.

The highest paid guard in the league has been Mike Iupati at $8M per. This Osemele deal will reset the market in an incredibly radical way.
In any case, when the Osemele deal is executed, he’ll become the highest paid guard in the history of the NFL. Winning the game of life.

Raiders OL Kelechi Osemele gets $36.6M in the first 3 years of a 5-year, $58.5 million deal. His $6.7M base for ’17 = fully guaranteed.
