none of this matters until they can get a freaking quarterback.
hopefully Pryor can somehow keep improving, but im not confident he will improve enough
i doubt they're going to ride out pryor. they're looking to pick up a stopgap this year (schaub is their top option) and might draft one depending on who falls where
schaub would be nice for the time being, would allow whomever they draft to have time to learn and grow, while occasionally getting some snaps on the games schaub is sucking
pryor needs to switch position, tbh.
Penn's signing was for 2 years, 9.6 million, with 4.2 mil guaranteed. basically a 1 year deal with a team option for year 2
da Raiduhhhsss turned what was a terrible start to FA into a decent one...
read a sit down interview w/ McKenzie. he basically went on and on about how u dont build through FA. build through the draft, fill gaps with FA. picking up vets to fill in as starters for 2-3 years while we draft their replacements over that time. it makes sense, but its frustrating to endure, especially since he hasn't been a particularly great drafter
Incognito says he would 100% like to be a Raider
True. It's been that way in Seattle ever since PC came aboard. It is really what others have been emulating as well. I know that is what he learned up in Green Bay. Hopefully they'll get some turnaround this year so that they can stick around and build some more. It seems that there is little patience and that is costing teams the chance to build something positive. A good Raiders team is beneficial for us California people--that gets the rivalries stoked and you have the 49ers and Raiders fans woofing.
if we had the same offseason but kept Veldheer, i would have had a much more positive tone though.
Raiders getting in on DeSean Jackson talks... looking like they want to fill the WR void here instead of drafting Watkins. Derek Carr is looking more surefire than ever
While I've been asking for schaub, I just hope the Fo is on the same page as me. Stopgap
some highlights from the OP...
a) lol veldheer situation...
b) lol mcfadden
c) good to see my nig C-wood back
d) didn't overspend on a WR2, james jones came in cheap. i wouldn't be surprised if we take a WR in the first 2 days of the draft
e) Kevin Boothe should slide in to start at left guard.
f) called schaub a while back, though i hope they aren't serious about having him a starter for "a few years." i dont mind him as a 1 year stopgap if they are planning to draft a qb this year, and have a raw guy like Carr develop. if not, a 1st round qb next season becomes a necessity unless schaub plays his ass off, which i don't anticipate
the announcement of the schaub restructure means the raiders are trying to clear further cap room for this offseason, meaning they aren't done. jared allen/desean jackson are theoretically in play
Sad. I liked him. Guy had been a good soldier but was informed he's not gna start.
Also at rotoworld ting bricks because the raiders didn't try to rebuild through free agency a la dolphins in 2012
The Raiders will be signing Maurice Jones Drew.. barring a failed physical or a surprise offer from another team in the next day. Will be a 2 year contract which will essentially be a 1 year deal. Solid move.
why mjd why
solid offseason so far after a bad start. Starting to look like a team with a 7-9 ceiling which i'm okay with tbh.
