Must be a lame April Fools joke, I don't think the raiders are even that stupid

Tampa was going to pay him like a #1 WR supposedly. I don't think a deal is done.

But if Oakland wants to trade away half their draft like they usually do, that's ok with me.

Compare that to our 4.5m and well... yeah it doesn't take a genius to realize why we aren't able to spend like others right now.

Sad thing is when Andy Reid was hired we had more Caproom than anybody in the league I think it was almost $30 million in cap space and we wasted it all on Who?

Not exactly elite players. Good, but not game breakers.

Yep, so they're in position to front load short deals to vets because they have to.

I think at the end of the day they're a better team now than they were at the end of the season.

LMAO they would have a hard time being worse~

Nobody said anything about elite players or game breakers.

The Raiders have gotten better.....if you deny that.....then you're living in a dream world. Their d-line is better. Their CBs are better. Even their QB position is better. Schaub may not be what he he used to be....but he's ****ing light years ahead of McCloin and Pryor.

That's gonna be a better team, there's no question.

It's the raiders....i would submit that it is always in question.

True, but they're spending their money like drunks in Vegas on any given 10 old whores... when they should've pooled their money together and had 2-3 real sweet, world class pieces.

Now their just gonna wake up with a debilitating hangover in 2 years and not even have any good memories to show for their money and time.

Yes, that team is 2 or 3 players away from being great. That's exactly what they should have done - spend all their money on 2 or 3 guys. Have you ever considered a career in the NFL? I bet you rule Madden.

I think the raiders will either be decent, or just disappoint.. Im not expecting a 10+ win season especially with our division the way it is.. But id say a 7-9, 8-8 season is on the horizon for them.
