I wouldn't mind keeping Mitchell if he comes cheap. He plays with a lot of heart and seems proud to be a raider

QB - Matt Leinart – OAK

RB - Mike Goodson – OAK
FB - Owen Schmitt – OAK
WR - Duke Calhoun – OAK – (Ex)
WR - Derek Hagan – OAK
TE - Brandon Myers – OAK
OL - Zach Hurd – OAK – (Ex)
OT - Khalif Barnes – OAK
C - Alex Parsons – OAK – (Ex)
OG - Cooper Carlisle – OAK
DT - Desmond Bryant – OAK
DE - Andre Carter – OAK

DB - Phillip Adams – OAK – (RFA)
DB - Coye Francies – OAK – (RFA)
S - Matt Giordano – OAK
CB - Joselio Hanson – OAK
SS - Michael Mitchell – OAK
CB - Shawntae Spencer – OAK
DB - Ronald Bartell – OAK
P - Shane Lechler – OAK

The ones I've bolded I wouldn't mind seeing back. Goodson in the same role. Barnes as a backup swing tackle. Bryant and Schaughnessy in the rotation (Bryant a possible starter, though easily demoted to backup if we can find someone better). Wheeler has a place in the rotation as a two down guy. Hanson is the best playmaker we have on this D. Doesn't say much but he's forced quite a few fumbles, recovered a few, had an INT and made a brilliant play last week that should've resulted in a defensive TD. Bartell would be nice for depth (will be cheaper than last year) and Lechler would be nice although I feel we'll go cheaper (a lot cheaper) and take King on the minimum instead. After all, when you have as many needs as we do, I'd rather spend the 3.8 million Lechler is making in 2012 as use that money next year to upgrade at a more key position.

Lechler has to go, too expensive, no future.
Parson would be okay depth. He knows the system.
Wouldn't pay too much for anyone. Doubt we have to.

Exclusive Rights Free Agent: A player with an expiring contract who has less than three accrued seasons can only sign with his old club, provided that he is offered a one-year contract at the minimum salary for the upcoming year. If the exclusive rights free agent gets no such offer, he is completely free. No compensation is awarded for losing ERFAs.

**Ancyent Fathoms** · 12-02-2012, 12:22 AM

Restricted Free Agent: A player with three but less than four accrued seasons (four but less than five in an uncapped year) can seek offers from other clubs after his contract expires, but he has only 60 days to do so (from around March 1 to mid-April). If he gets an offer, his old club must choose between matching it and retaining him, or letting him go to the new club in return for draft choice compensation. The draft choice compensation varies depending upon the offer the old club gives the player prior to becoming a restricted free agent (aka: Tender).
