Al Davis at it again...
Report: Al Davis overrules decision to cut Mike Mitchell

Source: PFT
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 5, 2010 10:09 AM ET



Remember Mike Mitchell? He was the No. 47 overall pick in the 2009 draft, the safety from Ohio University that Mike Mayock and the rest of the nation of draftniks thought Oakland took about five rounds too early.

On Saturday, Mitchell was reportedly the subject of a behind-the-scenes battle between Raiders owner Al Davis and the team's coaching staff. We'll let you guess who won.

Let's back the story up for a minute. 2010 Seventh-round Raiders safety Stevie Brown practiced on Saturday. He spoke with the media about making the team. But when the Raiders officially released their cuts Saturday afternoon, they still had one move left to make.

Here's where it gets fun.

A former Raiders employee-turned Florida radio host Andy Slater said that Brown was going to get the axe on his Twitter page. This was hours before he news came out. He also reported that "everyone in the organization" except Al Davis wanted to cut Mitchell instead of Brown. Davis essentially wanted to avoid the P.R. hit and admit he made such a big mistake last year. (Maybe Davis told them Mitchell "is a great player. Get over it.")

Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune breaks down the timeline of Slater's tweets, which are fascinating. It's hard to doubt him when he nailed the news before it happened.

Apparently the coaching staff pushed hard for Brown, who also has impressed teammates. But after the Raiders couldn't find a taker for Mitchell in a trade, they cut Brown. (Even if they didn't officially mention it on their website until very late last night.)

"Let me be clear, for those tweeting me on Mitchell/Raiders, coaches do NOT want him. Addition by subtraction," Slater wrote.

But as we know, coaches don't always get what they want. Especially in Oakland.

Just another day in Raider Nation.

If he can come in a replace someone else, then I am all for it.. I did not see the guy in preseason.. But if we can pick a guy up that will start or play a lot, especially from a rival, I am all for it..

He would replace Morgan, and hopefully McGraw. We need all the talent we can get whether it be starters or backups or ST players.

Latest Info

One day after being cut by the Oakland Raiders after being informed he was going to make the team before owner Al Davis insisted on the team retaining struggling former second-round safety Mike Mitchell, defensive back Stevie Brown has rejoined the team on its practice squad, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

Per a source, Brown received a lot of interest when he was briefly a free agent and could be promoted quickly off the practice squad in Oakland or in another NFL city.

Stevie Brown became a fan favorite real fast. The guy just kept making plays. Maybe it was a fluke. Just a flash in the pan. If nobody picks him up off of the waiver... he's on our practice squad fer sure.

I'd take Stevie over Washington in a heart beat. I'd take him over McGraw as well but I doubt that the Chiefs let him go. He is the only veteran presence in the backfield.
