is it just me or the raiders are not doing nothing in free agency? outside of the safety we overpaid from the giants (whom i still don't know by the way), we are doing absolutely nothing. we super overpaid for Tommy Kelly (whom i don't know that good either). all of these free agents signing everywhere and we ain't doing nothing but sitting on all of this money. we are in SERIOUS need of defensive tackles and lets see: rogers.... gone, marcus stroud..... gone, jenkins.... gone! okay lets go defensive end shall we: justin smith....gone! we needed receivers right? lets see: berrian... gone, randy... nuf said, andre davis... gone, bryant... are we even trying to call him? what is al davis doing? Curry is the lone receiver left! i guess we gonna draft hella receivers now huh? oh we need a new tackle cause we cut sorry sims so we need a tackle and the best we can do is reach for a niner reject kwame harris? if i had any hair, its all gone now cause i pulled it all out! can someone calm me down and tell me what in god's name is going on around here! heck, the niners yeah thats right NINERS are making more moves than us and on top of that, they are bringing in quality players! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGG!!!!!!!

Patience, grasshopper, patience...

It may not be untill the day of draft, be we WILL get some quality on WR corps...Kelly is taking over Sapp's position at DT...The sky is not falling. Watch the pendulum and repeat...

Relax, Berrian isn't worth the money he got, neither is Stallworth, there is still a ton of time before September rolls around, we'll be fine.

I feel ya man. We have got to get a WR in FA and in the draft. No question about it. DMac is out. Still could get Dorsey but with the nagging knee problems, I don't know if it is a good idea. We could always trade to the Cowboys in hopes to get both of their 1st round picks then trade the lowest one to some team and get a veteran player with good value. What do you think?

Lets judge the Raiders off-season when the off-season is over. Not one or two days into FA. Every move the Raiders have made has been a good one so far at least to me.

McCown GONE
Sims GONE
Pro bowl FS SIGNED a lot better then opening the year with our NFLE FS
Fargas Re-Signed
Kelly Re-Signed

So far so good, give it some more time. We aren't going to trade for a DT after giving Kelly a big deal. We may sign a vet but we can't afford to have 3 high priced DTs. Wouldn't make football sense. Also WR's are a dime a dozen we need to find two or three that fit our system, which we will.

U dont follow the raiders much do you?
you dont know much about kelly? u cant be serious is one of most hard working raiders at the line...and earned a good salary (not what he was given ) but he deserves some $$ for his hard work and production..
and u wanted moss??!!! are u kidding me? he si the worst FA WE can sign!there was no way we could have gotten davis because i believed he re-signed with texans...and berrian didnt even really listen to us... just see when the season begins i am sure al will fill in the wr core at least

I think you hit it on the last sentence...Shovel pass the #4 pick to Dallas for their 1sts..Drop back and dump off our lower pick on a screen pass to cincy, buffalo, or arizona for their prizes...

yeah and pass on yet another great back in mcfadden? did you see what peterson did last year? i don't want to pass over this one although other running backs will be there in the later rounds. all the premium dt will be gone and all premium tackles will be gone. i guess we could swoop 2 receivers or something. but that would be dumb to trade out of that number 4 spot!

We have to build a solid foundation through the draft, then start looking a FAs in a couple years.

I DO NOT WANT MOSS HERE! lets get that straight! i do follow the raiders and i'm sure he's not worth 50 million dollars. he hasn't even made a all pro team let alone a pro bowl. thats why i made my comment like that. okay, you tell me what receivers you see we can get thats good? cause i don't see any! maybe bryant but thats reaching.

**JRaider17** · #13 (**permalink**) 03-02-2008, 02:01 PM

The WR reciever situation will be fixed...or I will really be shocked.

I do agree on what the hell are we doing with the DT...would have been great to see us trade for one of them.
