Unofficial Raiderfans.net roster v4.5

[AceRimRat]

Move WR Johnathan Holland to the "signed" pile of rookies.

Delete TE/FB Tony Jackson, waived to make room.

Also, change some uni#s: Darius is now #20, with Echemandu shifting to #38; Porter is back to #84 with Tony Stewart taking #81 instead.

Thanks Ace!

Delete LS/C Adam Treu, released after a decade of yeoman service (failed physical).

Also delete rookie WR Johnathan Holland (D7-07), who was apparently signed in order to be formally waived/injured and released with a settlement. He hurt a shoulder in minicamp.

[AceRimRat]

Add RB Michael Bush to the "signed" pile.

Raiders.com says Johnathan Holland is on IR (where you go if you clear waivers when you're waived/injured), but he might have been cut from there with a settlement, as media is reporting. Meanwhile, I moved him to the reserve pile until there's something official re: a settlement.

Holland gets the dubious distinction of being the first Raiders draft pick in recent memory to get cut before training camp. A couple haven't lasted until the preseason, but this is a bit much.

[AceRimRat]

Delete safeties Jarrod Cooper (a minor shock) and Darnell Bing (a bigger shock).

The Raiders have three open slots and four unsigned rookies, so somebody's going to have to go at some point, though if I rookie holds out, there may be a roster exemption at first.

[AceRimRat]

And the winner of the "make room for JaMarcus" contest is...

TE Courtney Anderson, who was waived today, per Raiders.com.

[AceRimRat]

Move WR/KR Johnnie Lee Higgins to the "signed" pile.

Add DE Bill Swancutt, who looked good for Norv Turner back at the '05 Senior Bowl, claimed on waivers from Detroit.

[Raider Ran]

Thanks Ace. I knew there was a reason for Treu being cut. Great work as always bro

[AceRimRat]

Move DE Quentin Moses to the "signed" pile.

The Raiders have two unsigned rookies, JaMarcus Russell and Zach Miller, and one open roster spot.

[AceRimRat]

On the eve of camp:

Move TE Zach Miller to the "signed" pile.
Delete DT Lauvale Sape, waived.
Place RE Derrick Burgess and RB Michael Bush on the active/PUP list.
Change C Jeremy Newberry to #62.

From now on, all transactions will be found under the season schedule.

Also, I've condensed the Draft section and deleted the NFLE section.

[AceRimRat]

Add QB Cody Pickett, who has (should have?) an NFLE exemption.

[AceRimRat]

Add QB Daunte Culpepper, signed as a free agent.

[AceRimRat]

Add OL Jesse Boone, signed as a free agent. He's NFLE/exempt.

Waive a pair of guys barely with the team a week: QB Cody Pickett and DE Bill Swancutt.

[AceRimRat]

I go away for a few days and all hell breaks loose.

Add and delete OT Adrian Klemm.

Add LB/SS Kurt Campbell (re-signed).

Delete LB/LS J.J. Milan and TE/WR/KR Randal Williams.

Place FB/RB/KR ReShard Lee on waived/injured, which leads to IR (knee).

Nice to know ace
