LOL--How in the hell Do I edit the title?--just a little bit of a typo going on there..lmao Ok--got it.

What?

Did you assign your cat to post this thread?

i don get it

You would think..I am typo queen, but that was pretty bad...

I blame the repost police.

ROFL Yeah yeah...

Anyways, to the point--Zach says Bye bye to the Raiders ;-)

You could be on to something...:hmmm:

It's pandemonium!

I love how mad they are at Cable--these threads are gold!

LOL

The threads in there are full of that kind of mentality..Like how could anyone possibly think of leaving the RAIDERS??? Such a class act of an organization...and they are certian they are going to sign high quality cuz who wouldnt want to play for Al Davis??? ****ing pricelss stuff.

great news

Seeing the sites that other fans have to get by with always makes me sad, even when they are Raider fans. Time to donate to Chiefsplanet.

I couldn't find any Zach Miller info on that site. Somebody needs to start a thread or 40 about him.

Best post ever. Oh yeah, that's the OP of the thread.

Zach Miller contract: 5 years, $34 million, including $17 million guaranteed

They have a "bag over head" emoticon. That site is fan****ingtastic.

Imagine if we just let Brandon Flowers and Dwayne Bowe walk during free agency, which is also the first week of training camp, and didn't replace them with anybody. How maddening would that be? Thank you, Al. Please live forever.

That guy really is awful. It's amazing that he was able to field an 8 win team last year. It won't happen again any time soon.

I'm disappointed the Eagles didn't sign him. And Abrayo Franklin. Way to drop the ball, Philly.

Good job Al! Hopefully medical science progresses enough in the next few years to keep you alive and running this thing far into the future!

they have celek

Damn, between Denver's ****ups and Oakland shooting itself in the foot again, I'm liking our chances this year.

So. They have Asante and DRC but they still signed Nnamdi.

That was a mistake to let him go. Al Davis didn't want to pay that high just cuz Zach has had 3 concussions in the past 2 seasons. Lotsa players get their brains a little smushed on occasion. Bad move. This offseason Oakland has lost its premier CB, its best O-lineman (yes, even though Gallery was just a guard), and now its most prolific receiver.

But CP told me he would be a Chief...

I'm glad Miller left Oakland (hate that guy). It's odd that Seattle would sign him, though, as they have a good young TE in Carlson.

They wanted him bad enough to pay him $7 mil per year - with $17 mil guaranteed. Maybe they want to trade Carlson? Oakland is now considering a move for Kevin Boss, but can't give him anything near what Miller just got. Dude has had almost as many concussions as Miller, hands not as good as miller, but is a helluva blocker. Downgrade:

Boss said on Sirius radio he wants to come to #Raiders. Miller underrated blocker, so tiny edge to Boss there; no comparison catching ball.

Since I am the one who reported it here first, you should re-read what was posted. I never guaranteed a signing. Just reported it was merely a conversation. As you can now see, the money that Zach made was just too rich for Scott's tastes.

AZ would have been a great fit for Miller but i imagine they never really seriously considered it with the money they will spend on a Fitz contract.

Pitchforks! Get 'yer pitchforks here!

Based on a phone interview I had with Zach Miller, it sounds like the Raiders coaching staff and teammates were reaching out in a way owner Al Davis did not.

Bottom line is the Raiders took care of the unrestricted free agents Davis thought most important and showed them the (guaranteed) money _ Kamerion Wimbley ($29 million), Richard Seymour ($22.5 million) and Stanford Routt ($20 million). Miller got $17 millon guaranteed from Seattle, so it’s safe to assume Oakland was offering less.

Some of Miller’s thoughts:

–“Coach (Tom) Cable gave me a call Saturday morning and saw I wasn’t signed yet, kind of feeling the Raiders would have done it by then. He said, `We want you here and I’m going to make a push to get you here.’

“I took a visit, and my wife and I just loved it. I’m still kind of blown away about what an an amazing place it is and we feel it’s the best fit.”

– “Football’s a business and I know that first-hand. When I was going into the last year of my rookie deal I was hoping to get extended and get a long term contract and it didn’t happen. Then the season ended and was expecting a deal and it didn’t happen, either.

“Throughout the process I was expecting it and it just never happened. I thought I’d get an extension and it never materialized.”

In the end, it didn’t matter how many times Hue Jackson, tight ends coach Adam Henry or teammates called to tell Miller how much he was wanted. Davis simply was not going to pay a tight end the same kind of money he was for a pass rusher, an established potential Hall of Fame defensive tackle and a speedy cornerback.

And Miller and the two best hands in the organization are now in Seattle.

Wonderful news. At lunch today my raider fan buddy was laughing at me saying Miller was just in Seattle enjoying a free meal.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Great news. Guy was a good player; good to see him in the NFC.

The Raiders are building a bully? With what? That teams is ****ing garbage. Cable schemed well against teams he saw twice a year. He's gone now. They are about to get our red and yellow feet broke off in their ass.

THE ANTI KNOWMO
passionate about his team and continues to watch them NO MATTER WHAT

(though I have a feeling it was just GoChiefs trolling their asses.)

Reading comprehension problem?

Seems to me Pioli may have been on the phone with Millers agent and drove the price on him through the rook hoping it would hurt the Raiders and then Seattle came in and decided it was worth the risk.

Sad, Denver and Oakland will both be in the running for Andrew Luck.

Poor guy.

LOL nah that doesn't compete with this post.....it's the sticky at the top of the page!

http://www.raiderfans.net/forum/oakl...-everyone.html

Could have been chilling out in Carolina. Winds up carrying a gun to football practice in Oakland. And that's just walking to and from his car.

Better be some ****ing glorious architecture degree.

This was ****ing hilarious.

Well done, as usual.

You really think that Oakland, the team that swept you last season, is contending for the worst team in football with Denver? You were swept by the worst team in the league? Nah - you don't really believe that. The Miller loss hurts a bit less by picking up TE Kevin Boss from NY (already worked out & near to signing). That'd be an awfully long way to fall - from sweeping the division to worst team in the entire league....

Kevin Boss is an average tight end. Without a Pro Bowl QB and elite offense around him he's going to be a giant bag of meh.

Raiders 4-12

some people believe 2 tightends is a good thing ... like payton manning.

of course Chiefs fans hate it, but then again they are smarter about NFL offense than Manning.

They couldn't ****ing re-sign him, and they are STILL over the cap IIRC.

LMAO. way to build a WINNAR

I need to spread some rep around, but that is some funny shit.

LOL

epic meme...your work?

Black-Crowes-Raider-Fan is now infamous.

Poor bastard...

Oakland plays 6 AFCW games. Thats 6 wins right there. At least, thats how its been lately....

But who is McGraw going to cover now?

New York Giants in danger of losing free-agent TE Kevin Boss, who works out for Oakland Raiders

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/20...celebrates.jpg

The salary-cap strapped Giants were on the verge of taking another free-agent hit Wednesday night, when tight end Kevin Boss worked out for the Oakland Raiders.

According to reports, the 27-year-old Boss was impressive in his workout for Raiders coach Hue Jackson and he was still at their camp in Napa, Calif., late Wednesday night. Boss was expected to take a physical, too. It was not immediately known if he was ready to sign a deal.

The Raiders appeared ready, though, one day after they lost their old tight end, Zach Miller, to the Seattle Seahawks. Miller and the 6-6, 253-pound Boss were considered the best tight ends

Kevin Boss to Raiders negotiations in "high gear" and went "late into the night"

Boss has more TD's in 3-years than Miller in 4-years. Miller was Raiders first option, Boss was NYG 4th/5th option.

Boss is a solid pick-up, but a steep downgrade from Miller, at least as far as the passing game is concerned. Still, considering that the Miller thing is over and done, it has to make you feel better about the situation. (Assuming it gets finalized.)

That's an interesting coping mechanism for a fan of a bad team that just lost 3 of its best 5 players.

Raiders signed Boss for half of what Zach Miller got from Seattle:

ESPN Raiders, Kevin Boss sign deal

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants lost a key player when tight end Kevin Boss signed with the Oakland Raiders on Friday. Boss signed a $16 million, four-year contract with the Raiders. The deal includes $8 million in guarantees. The Raiders, who were looking for a tight end after losing Zach Miller to the Seahawks, announced the deal.

"It's disappointing," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "We were very much involved. But the decision is the decision. We wish him well." Boss, who worked out for the Raiders Wednesday, was fifth in receptions last season with 35 catches for 531 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-6 player was one of Eli Manning's most trusted targets and had caught a total of 16 touchdowns the past three seasons.

Boss, who caught 119 passes with 18 touchdowns in four seasons with the Giants, gives the Raiders a 6-foot-6, 235-pound downfield target. He also won a Super Bowl ring with New York in his rookie season. Losing Boss hurts because he provides Manning with a tall safety valve across the middle.

That's because Boss is half the player nitwit.

Sorry, where are those posts that discuss how Chiefs fans hate 2 TE sets?

Neither one is a player nitwit. They're both bright young men & two of the top TEs that were available. Boss is the better blocker, Zach is the better receiver, but they sure as heck ain't player nitwits.

CoMo has a stiffy for Boss, and he signs with the Raiders. So this will turn out great.
