Asnorban posted:There better be some big drat moves in the making for WRs. The hell panthers. Yeah. I've tried setting my emotions aside about Smitty, but even if you look at it from a cold, logical perspective, the team is utterly hosed at WR. Letting your best one walk doesn't seem like the most intelligent idea, even if he's getting older and not as productive. You can 100% blame Gettleman for his clumsy handling of this situation, but ultimately he just continued the trend of ignoring WR needs that this organization has been on for the past four or five years. Gettleman better have an absolutely amazing Plan B and we better have the sexiest draft for this to pay off. No more bullshit like reaching for DII linemen who don't even play; it's time for us to finally cash in on what fortunately happens to be a great WR class.

I recall reading somewhere that Lovie really wasn't high on Glennon at all, so I'd guess this is pointing towards a real QB competition rather than any sort of mentoring/backup role. Also, he doesn't have a good track record correcting shaky O-lines so there is that.

Lovie isn't really high on any players on the offensive side of the ball so you shouldn't single out Glennon like that.

@Jerrymcd The veteran QB Raiders have most interest in at moment is not yet a free agent _ Matt Schaub of Houston. Professor Funk posted:I suppose he'd basically be a #3 behind Kerley, in which case I wouldn't mind signing him at the right cost.

Ozu posted:I like the idea of signing Decker and Jones and still drafting a Marqise Lee/Brandin Cooks in the 1st. Yeah, that post was made under the assumption that they throw money at Decker. If they signed Jones/Decker, I think I might want to go TE in the first, but I don't think a guy like Ebron would be available. I would love Cooks too; not sure if they'd need a guy like Lee with those signings.

I hope whatever Jacoby Jones gets offered on the market isn't as good as what Baltimore offered him. He's one of the coolest guys on the team and is a great #3 receiver and can be a half decent #2 if people get injured. I still think it's hilarious how Jacoby loving Jones ended up being the centerpiece of most of the memorable moments from the entire 2012 playoff run.

As a Raider fan, if Bridgewater doesn't drop to us, I am totally cool with giving McGloin/Pryor one more year. Neither will be top 10 QBs but I think they can keep us competitive.

I think Tate is a pretty great signing for the Lions actually, just that dollar amount seemed like way too much. We'll see what it actually ends up being.

It's not that free agents chose other places, it's that John Elway just didn't want them  Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 41s #Broncos were interested in defensive playmakers all day yesterday. Before they landed Talib, they tried to get in on Jairus Byrd.

Tony Sparano has the ear of Davis/RM and is basically saying "Look this Veldheer fella is a natural RT, so offer him the contract for an RT and lets move on". The overpaying of Saffold/Howard is a combination of Having to meet the cap floor, having a billion dollars, the Cap rising, and paying the perennial loser tax that Oakland usually pays. From a running game standpoint, Saffold and Howard are big old run blockers. They obviously see the two as an upgrade. Lamar Houston? I don't know. Maybe he wanted out, maybe they didn't like his attitude? Whatever, the dude was a great run stopper but not a good pass rusher. I guess they wanted more pass rush? The moves are slowly starting to make more sense than they initially did, despite every talking head crowing about how terrible the moves are.

According to Rapoport, Jets want to sign 2 WRs. I'm assuming that means Decker/Jones.

I guess everyone is just assuming that with all this cap room you guys have, big moves are in order. So it's probably the lack of major moves that's more frustrating than anything. Should've tried to do what Elway did, snag some of the best free agents whose names aren't Revis and build some success in the short term. Oakland needs a winning season already, sad to see one of the best organizations in sports struggle like it has.
