Jerry McDonald just posted a blog on the arrival of DeAngelo Hall.  The first paragraph below is so damn funny that I knew I had to post it.  If you can’t laugh at your team you shouldn’t laugh at others.  Definitely one of the best pieces I’ve ever read from him.  But if you don’t [...]

The NFL Network is reporting that DeAngelo Hall will sign the previously reported 7-year $70 million dollar contract some time today; with $24.5 million guaranteed.  The Falcons will reportedly only receive the Raiders 2nd round choice from this years draft, but will be compensated with an additional 5th round selection next year.
The Raiders will sign [...]

There are many NFL experts saying that the Oakland Raiders are spending too much money, and aren’t sure how the Raiders are going to sign their draft picks or even get under the cap.  After doing a lot of research, I learned most of all that March 18th is way to early to say where the [...]

After several days of conflicting reports, it appears that DeAngelo Hall will soon be an Oakland Raider.  Now granted this information comes from Hall himself, who hasn’t been the most trustful source for information on his future, but after spending this morning trying to debunk the info, I’m willing to post this with confidence. 
DeAngelo Hall told the Atlanta Journal Constitution [...]

Arrowheaddict is reporting on an interesting bit of information.  I am hearing from Raider sources that the deal isn’t done, and the Addict is reporting that Hall “was telling radio listeners in Hotlanta that he’d be wearing red for a team that plays in the AFC West next season.  [And] If that’s the case, Oakland just [...]

Yesterday the Oakland Raiders met with Drew Carter in Alameda and it looks like after over 24hours, Carter will soon be a Raider.  No financial terms yet available, but the contract is reported to be for 1-year.  This still leaves the Raiders in good shape to take a wideout on Day-1 of the NFL Draft that [...]

As reported two days ago, former Jacksonville Jaguars’ quarterback and unrestricted free-agent, Quinn Gray, was scheduled to visit the Oakland Raiders yesterday.  There are no reports on how the visit went, but according to Screaming Sports.com, “contract negotiations are expected to continue with Gray today.”

I’m going to come out and boldly predict that the Miami Dolphins (Bill Parcells) will draft Sedrick Ellis (6′1″ 309lbs, benched 225lbs 34 times) with the first overall selection.  I say this because of my evaluation of Howie’s kid.  Chris Long put up a 40-yard dash equal to a fast defensive end (4.75), but chose not to be tested [...]

Sedrick Ellis’ performance from the Senior Bowl.  There’s at least one play where he lines up at nose tackle, and another that he might be at the nose, but could be playing the 3-technique in the 4-3. 
The second play is a great example of what he can do in a 3-4.  You’ll notice him quickly put his hands [...]

Dominic Rhodes helped to clear cap space for the 2008 season by restructuring his contract from $3 million to $1.75 million.  I did not see Rhodes returning for next season, but this definitely changes things.  All the uncertainty that comes with the Oakland Raider running backs (Fargas-injuries, Rhodes-inconsistent and a little overrated, Michael Bush-injury) leaves [...]
