Derrick Johnson visiting (and has now signed with) the Raiders...
 

Seriously... McKenzie going for revenge since Veach drafted his son haha

Not an ideal way to see an all time great Chief end his career in that dump

didn't McKenzie get fired yesterday - I heard that on the radio.

:shrug: business is business. Just don't go full reerun like Jamaal did. Be quiet and respectful and just play.

He's about the right age to play for Gruden it seems though I'd hate to see it.

not yet, but its a rumor it could happen

https://arrowheadaddict.com/2018/05/...ggie-mckenzie/

Good ,I hope he starts there. We have 9 RB's that can run away from him with ease.

But I'd much rather him come home and coach for us.

No DJ, No!

Just say no to drugs!

Good luck chasing hill and watkins down in the flat

Why the **** would they want DJ when they can just re-sign Bowman?

It would suck to see DJ in a Raiders uni, but by all means go ahead Raiders. Continue to get older.

I hope that they don't re-sign Bowman. He played good for them.

even with Hitchens not seeing the field wearing red yet - We still have the better tandem. Excited to watch Anthony.

I don't disagree. Doesn't change the fact that Bowman made their defense better and I hope that he signs elsewhere.

yeah Bowman played better than we all thought he would.

If he can still get someone to give him an NFL check, then good for him.

He dun plaed gooder fer dem

He's old, slow, and Hunt will run right through him.

Hope he does sign there.

I hope he doesn't give them any secret intel.. like the fact that Hill is fast or something.

The Raiders team building strategy has been one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen in the league. They have prioritized getting older at nearly every position.

That move worked out well for JC.

I’d hate to see it but that tells you how bad the Raiders are at ILB.

What they lack in strength, speed, agility, durability and endurance they make up for with the wisdom of the ages.

Just don't...cmon man...just don't...

Well, if he signs and plays against us, he's dead to me. And we run the ball right down his throat.

As much as I’d hate to see this happen, as long as he doesn’t go full Jamarl and talk about how he always wanted to be a Raider it will be pretty hard to not welcome him back into the Ring of Honor with open arms.

ROFL Funny and True!

Well, if you're going to get it wrong, might as well take it all the way. ROFL

Please list the starting positions that the Raiders will be older (other than the natural year older) than they were last year. Thanks!

Until Kareem trucked him

AKA the George Allen School of Team Building.

Top 5 Oldest Starting Lineups On Offense
TEAM AVERAGE AGE OLDEST STARTER YOUNGEST STARTER
NO 28.91 Drew Brees (38) Ryan Ramczyk (23)
ARZ 28.82 Carson Palmer (37) D.J. Humphries (23)
OAK 28.45 Donald Penn (34) Amari Cooper (23)
LAC 28.36 Antonio Gates (37) Melvin Gordon (24)
PHI 28.09 Jason Peters (35) Isaac Seumalo (23)

Jamaal went to the Broncos and saw a sad ending to his career. I suspect DJ going to the Raiders would be much of the same.

I would hate it for him more than I would hate it for us. I love DJ.

Raiders need to keep Reggie. He's done a great job for the Chiefs!

OK, I know reading comprehension is hard, so let's try again.

Which Raiders starters are going to be older than the guy who started for the Raiders last year, other than the obvious year older than they were last year.

Dipstick above stated we were going to be older at nearly all positions.

Nelson is two years older than Crabtree.

Saying they are older at every position was an exaggeration for sure- but their biggest free agent signing was OLD and many of their other transactions as well. Gruden values experience over youth.

Raider's Offense getting to know a few of the new Cheerleaders.

Leon Hall and Rashaan Melvin are both older than Amerson.

It's not like he is Jamaaling us or anything.. if he can find some work, good for him.

Bryant will be the #2 WR, and he's younger than Crabtree.

Nelson is old, but he's going to be the #3 WR after we traded for Bryant. Is Nelson better than the Chiefs #3 WR?

I'd bet Hall gets cut. You are right on Melvin being older than Amerson, but is Melvin replacing Amerson or Sean Smith who is two years older than Melvin?

Where did I specifically say the word ‘starters’? I didn’t...

The bottom line is you’ve got a crazed egomaniac running your franchise now for probably AT LEAST the next 6-7 years, and he apparently wants to make your team older and slower in the worst way.

This is just the reality, bro. It’s almost like Al Davis rose from the dead.

Probably not at this point honestly.

Either way, Hill and Watkins > Cooper and Bryant. Every single day of the week x10.

Gruden DID say he was gonna do things old school.

...and collect a check.

Please let this happen. Another broke dick chief that never won anything hanging on years past any respectable prime.

Said he was going back to 1998 football. Or at least players who played in 1998.

Damnit DJ.

I will still root for you, but not to win.

Rae Carruth gets out this year, maybe gruden should bring him inn for a look, kick the tires

Free trip to Oakland

Sure why not

have you been to Oakland

Gruden wants to pick DJ's head i.e. to Bob Sutton's defensive calls in all down situations. Disguises, coverages, etc.......

It can’t be that bad

Oh, Derrick. No. Have some pride, man. Go out with dignity.

bay area is awesome to visit, i live about 2 hours south of it, i wouldnt live there, but to visit, its awesome.

C'mon DJ, don't go full-Jamaal.

THIS!

Intentional?

I doubt DJ has much choice, searching for any job he can get.

Interesting that he’d go this route with the standing offer to coach the Chiefs. Gotta think Andy and Brett would be a little less enthused about that after DJ tried to get with the Raiders.

The vet minimum is $1 mil. There is no coaching job he could take with the Chiefs or anyone else that would pay him that, nowhere even close. Also a lot of football players wants to be football players for as long as they can.

I guarantee that Andy and Veach understand that.

This just in... DJ said he secretly wanted to play for the Raiders his entire career

This makes me sad...

i am lying... ROFL Don't even know if he will be signed, they may sign him to groom some of our younger guys who knows

Don't matter to me either way...

They could also be using him as Leverage to try to lower the price of Bowman

I think he’d be a good addition. He was coming on late last year. Achilles usually takes a year which would explain slow start. I’m fine with Chiefs moving on but not convinced DJ is done.

I will take a proven player who has lost a step over a unknown any day of the week especially if he is considered a insurance policy.

As I said, he is or was a good player and if he is cheap enough his knowledge of the KC defense alone would probably be worth it if you are a rival team

Don’t agree with your last statement. Knowledge of the Chiefs defense? “Run any play you want. They can’t stop anything.” “Okay, DJ, thanks for the intel!”

On your defense he'd be a big help.

I have nothing bad to say about the guy. This is what he does for a living and he wants to keep doing it.

I only care about this stuff when someone like Kneel Smith says "It's nice to finally play for the good guys."

That ****ery isn't necessary. Do what you do and feed your family but there's no need to shit on a fanbase in the process...

Dude they are all overpaid drama queens...

I use to live to debate and argue about football and couldn't wait for the season to begin... Maybe because I am getting older, I dunno...

I don't get excited after a win and I don't get down after a loss like I did when I was younger and it's not just the NFL... I was the same way about the Tarheels , bet I didn't watch 3 games last year and 2 of those were vs Duke.

I use to take nights off to see the Tarheels and Raiders play.

I used to watch Nascar and that is dead to me now too

Meh

Totally amazed how they ****ed up that sport

Apparently he left the building without a deal.

I was flippin channels and stopped on the Bristol race... That used to be a damn hard ticket to get and the place looked like it was 25% full...

If they don't change soon they will go under

He signed with them.

DJ is dead to me now. :shake:

Good for DJ. Glad he's getting paid. Doubt he has much left to contribute on the field, so Oakland/LV is a good landing spot. Maybe Reid will have him doing some secret intel for us. :) DJ has been a loyal Chiefs' soldier his entire career.

Uggggggghhhhhhh!

What's next? Hali signs with the Chargers?

Raiders agree to terms with former Chiefs veteran linebacker Derrick Johnson
