Love the signing of Walker.......if he's healthy the sky is the limit for him and our Oakland Raider offense. Kwame Harris should benefit under the tutelage of Tom Cable.....things are starting to look up here in Raiderland. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!

Well, we had no choice. Contract is absolutely ridiculous, and once again we overpaid, but if we did NOT get him, we would have been in deep ****. I don't know enough about contracts and all that jazz, but there better be a clause in there somewhere so the Raiders aren't held liable for big money if he gets injured again, which is a very good chance.

Thanks, RINY. This makes me think we will hang on to the number 4 pick now and draft DL first. If C. Long is there (which he wont be), he will be the pick. Otherwise it will be Dorsey, I think. Would love for us to wait until a later round and try to pick up big Red out of Texas A&M. He will be a good run stopper in the league. The lack of a 3rd rounder though hurts us there.

I don't know about this....but if there still is speed and cutting ability why not ? We instatly became WR loaded with Curry, Higgins,Walker, Holland, Madsen, Miller, Pbunch and meybe a draft pick.

Kelly...busted up knee. Walker...busted up knee. Harris...busted up confidence. I like bringing in new talent, but someone we are going to regret. You've got my interest, Al. Maybe you know that you may not live to see the end of these contracts.

can't complain how his injuries too much.. curry had back to back achilles injuries and did pretty good the last season. dropped some easy passes but made some remarkable catches. should have a better season in 08. as for walker, im pretty excited.. just heated up the rivalry game too. by far the most interesting acquisition with that kind of money.

I love Tommy Kelly, always have but that kind of money coming of an acl tear, pretty risky. Hopefully Walker will turn out as well. If big Al doesn't sign Nnamdi to a big time deal, thats gonna lock him up........then what all the big shot sports writers is ture. Oakland won't be the same until Davis steps down

be the same? up until al davis, there were no oakland raiders. I like both deals, and i have a good feeling about harris.
(now while thats not 100% true, they were the senors for awhile)
