Donald Penn holding out
 

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Uh oh: #Raiders standout LT Donald Penn is not reporting for training camp, source said. He's unhappy with his contract.

**** didn't mean to put this under Chiefs

Good for him.

I've said it before, but Penn is old as shit and the Raiders are very shaky outside of him at both T spots.

They also cut their RT Austin Howard this morning.

Good news...Jackson, Carr and Mack are going hamstring the shit out them.

Yea but Vadak Alexander is their projected starter at RT

Still the loss of Penn or a significant drop off due to age and/or missing camp would really sting

Lol. It's a two-year contract which he just signed a year ago. And sure he had a great season last year but at 34 years old he could very well have a sharp decline anytime soon.

Really? Holy shit that's the guy Chris Jones dominated in college. Dude has slow feet.

Houston'a going to rape this guy LMAO

Holding out...he must think he is better than i do.

Good for you, Donald. I wouldn't play a down for Chokeland until they made you one of the highest paid LT's in the game.

Fight the good fight, my man . . . . . . .

I think the Raiders will cave if Penn is willing to take this holdout into the regular season. This is a big year for them, and they just invested a bunch of money into Carr.

He's only making $6 mill and gave up one sack last year...I dont blame him. He has the Raiders over a barrel and knows it...haha.

The Raiders RT on paper is Marshall Newhouse right now, pretty sure he's below average

If there's any problem with 34-year old Penn this year, their offense could take a hit. I'm thinking they maybe should have drafted a tackle earlier in the draft this year instead of going all defense early pretty much.

He's actually right about average, good pass protector, poor run blocker. Have a couple of rookies that have the physical tools, but are both raw as hell.

Penn is making $7mil and most likely holding out for an extension since he's going to be FA next spring. Has the most leverage right now to get a longer contract and more $'s. Doubt this lasts long though since we did just open up about $6mil in cap space with a couple cuts.

We are far from being cap strapped because of the smart way Reggie has worked contracts to be pay as you go with most having little up front.
