DeAngelo Hall in Silver & Black?

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 [...]

Raiders Sign Drew Carter

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 [...]

Negotiations Continue with Gray

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.”

Mock Draft (First 10 Picks)

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 [...]

For Instance (Sedrick Ellis)

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 [...]

Rhodes Restructures, Green Returns

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 [...]

At a Glance: Raiders Free-Agency

With the whole Brett Favre thing going on yesterday the free-agent market took sort of a day of rest, but the Raiders are on the west coast, and as midnight on the east coast neared, the Raiders announced the signings of Javon Walker and Kwame Harris.

In my post last night I wrote that I had [...]

Salary Confirmation

Here are some excerpts from a posting Jerry McDonald did on the Oakland Raiders recently signed contracts. 
Apparently sensitive to the perception that they are recklessly throwing millions of dollars at free agents who ordinarily wouldn’t give the Raiders a second look, the club took the unusual step Wednesday of confirming (or in their mind, correcting) [...]
