Raiders | Walker on way out?

Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders WR Javon Walker finds himself in a precarious situation after the team selected WR Darrius Heyward-Bey and WR Louis Murphy in the NFL Draft. However, Walker is guaranteed $4.6 million over the next two seasons, which should keep him on the roster for now.

No thanks. We don't need any quitters

Great signing by the raiders and you can always count on them to **** up the draft

Very misleading because it includes XP's. His highest ranking in FG % was 20th in 2006 and he dropped each year thereafter.

He got worse each year and his senior campaign was an underwhelming 74.1 FG % including 1/5 from 50+. He's not bad, but calling him the most accurate kicker is, IMO, misleading. His career FG % is 82% which is very good.

Mind you, I'm not arguing he's worse than Succop.

Gotcha, no problem, i had no idea...

I guess he was one of the more accurate, i wonder who is the most accurate college kicker then. Kind've explains why he wasn't in kipers top 5 kickers

[Buehler445]

Damn. I had hoped Pioli would pick up Mike Rivera from KU (like we don't need the LB help) and Nate Swift from NU.

Both are slow as shit, but appear to be Pioli type team first guys and had good production in college.

It's not incorrect, he is technically the most accurate kicker - but not the most accurate field goal kicker. Just about every kicker not named Lawrence Tynes can make XP's.

For comparison sakes (and this guy wasn't drafted either), Graham Gano had a FG % of 92.3 this past season including 5/5 from 40-49yds and 5-7 from 50+ with a long of 53.

Good lord, surprised he wasn't signed and i wonder wtf is special about succup, even if he is the last pick overall

Gano signed with Baltimore.

Not sure about Succop, but this is from the KCStar:

Succop’s problem never was his leg strength. His accuracy suffered at times, particularly on longer, lower kicks. And after he suffered an abdominal injury last year, he was erratic and missed four kicks in a game against Kentucky — as many as he’d missed in any of his previous three seasons.


Succop also can handle punting and kickoff duties. He made six of his final seven field-goal attempts last year.

Hope Succop makes Barth earn it again or he earns it

I'll go with Succop assuming hes healthy again. He can at least kick it to the end zone and give Colquitt a breather when he needs it.

I thought QB Brian Hoyer from Michigan State would have been smart to pick up.

But I see the Pats thought the same thing.
