[AceRimRat]

The Raiders have added five players to the PS (Boone, McFoy, Shaw, Tollefson, Wilson) with a sixth reported in some places but neither confirmed nor reported in others (Shotwell).

Thus begins version 5.0 of the Unofficial Raiderfans.net Roster, for the 2007 regular season. The other thread has been unstickied and closed. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

[RaiderInNY]

Thanks for v5.0 ACE!

[AceRimRat]

Add TE Daniel Fells to the PS, which is now full at 8 players.

And thanks, Ran...

StL: I don't make the roster, I just keep track. I don't know why so many corners. Heard rumors...

And thanks, Ran...

StL: I don't make the roster, I just keep track. I don't know why so many corners. Heard rumors...

See you Saturday bro

I agree totally with the moses cut. When the coach decided to go with Warren from Denver to stop the run it changed everything. Making the move to outside for Kelly and providing backup for Sapp...one of these days he will retire. I believe that we gave Moses a fair chance...but I truely belive that Richarson outplayed him in the 4 preseason games. If we would have gotten Warren before the draft...I doubt if we would have even drafted Moses...his terrible senior year and weakness against the run made him a reach...even before the Warren signing.
the reason for the 7 corners is for depth..with Routt and Starks injured we don't know who will emerge as our 3rd and 4th corner. Carr and Jonson are special teams.who just happened to be listed as corners...and of course Bowie is a low level draft rookie. To me it made sense to load the roster with subs at CB.
Brayton is one of the hardest working players on our team. I not only watched all the preseason games..I also tivo'ed them and then put them on vcr tapes for future viewing. Brayton had a great preseason

Give Warren #61 and Morris #51.

Thanks, Ran, see you there!

And guys, IIRC, the Raiders always carry an extra cornerback for some reason. Plus, they weren't about to cut the guy they got with the Moss pick, I suspect.

Add QB JaMarcus Russell to the signed pile, at last, per Raiders.com, but give him a two-week roster exemption, per media reports. So no cut.

Updated scoreboard.

[AceRimRat]

Add LB Jon Alston to active roster and give him #94. Delete WR Travis Taylor, released.

Add WR Rich Parson to PS. Delete WR Jonathan Orr, released.

Also, updated scoreboard, transactions and uni #s.

[AceRimRat]

Delete CB/FS Duane Starks, released to make room for JaMarcus Russell, activated from the exempt list.

[AceRimRat]

Add WR Drisan James to the PS.

Updated scoreboard, transactions and lineups/injuries.

[AceRimRat]

Delete DE Dave Tollefson from PS. He signed with the active roster of the New York Giants.
