This would require him to actually stay healthy enough to get on the field, hence why we signed Penn.
BTW, Saffold was signed to play guard, not tackle and the only people confused about it were media types who throw crap at the wall hoping something will stick.
Still a lot of work to be done in Oakland, but we are already a better team than last year on paper anyway.

That saffold deal is funny... Imagine how the media would have reacted if the Raiders took Saffold knowing he was damaged goods? All we would be hearing would be how big of fools the Raiders are... We didn't sign his gimp ass because he was damaged goods and you don't spend 42 mill on damaged goods.
