I don't think Reggie's touching Hardy.

If Bush can come for cheap I'm down with that, I like Jerry Hughes too.

I think White and Cooper are equal. Assuming Williams is gone I'm down with either or Gregory/Fowler too. I like Shelton a lot but it'd be high for him at 4.

 

[albooboo]

I would take Gregory over Fowler.  I'm not a fan of Hughes. I think his success comes from having played with both Williams and  Dareus.  The same way Michael Johnson did when he was with the Bengals.

 

[champcruthik]

I would take Gregory over Fowler.

Gregory weighed in a bit light, but you're betting on his elite athleticism against Fowler's instincts for the game.

 

[jumpman ii]

I really want a Big Time WR for Derek Carr's development

 

[jumpman ii]

Bring in Julius Thomas & Randall Cobb and we could be in business

 

[xbraveheartx]

Julius Thomas should be picked up for sure. Cobb would be a plus but it would be great to snag Maclin as well

 

[jumpman ii]

Thomas' dad is a season ticket holder. Come Home Julius

 

[jumpman ii]

@caplannfl: As @JasonLaCanfora said, the #Raiders are going to release S Tyvon Branch.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Not surprised but is Jano our highest paid player? I have no idea who it is

 

[jumpman ii]

I think so

 

[ishnaga]

Maclin ain't going nowhere. Philly gonna get him back. And I swear Cobb is a nasty wr I think we would be a supurb addition.
I just can't wait for free agency I'm not even feeling the draft like that.
And I kno injuries are a big part of it but I don't want Branch to leave..

 

[champcruthik]

Maclin ain't going nowhere. Philly gonna get him back.

Mac9's gamble on himself really paid off with the 1-year deal. Supposedly him and the Eagles are not far apart in negotiations.

 

[xbraveheartx]

Do you guys think Reggie is gonna throw money out for a CB?

 

[laker4lifeman]

Reggie has to spend money 89% of it

 

[ishnaga]

I don't remember seeing to many elite cbs on the FA list . Flowers was the best name I think I saw.

 

[albooboo]

As for TE I would like Clay from Miami. Versatile enough to play at the end of the line or split out.   He would cost less that any other TE.

For CB I like Walter Thurmond. 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Just renewed my season tix. Eff the worlddddd.

 

[ihatemyshoes]

Falcon just released there top OG, thinking he might come to Raiders? Mike Tice connection ...

 

[albooboo]

Blalock would be a good pick up. He would be a cheaper than the other guards on the market.

 

[raider5]

Darnell Dockett  got cut today...wouldn't that just be hilarious if he ended up with us lol

Local business man to help keep Raiders in OaklandPosted: Feb 27, 2015 6:22 PM PSTUpdated: Feb 27, 2015 6:24 PM PST

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) - Pressure is mounting as both the Chargers and the Raiders look ahead to the possibility of moving to Carson.

San Diego still does not have a viable plan after 13-years, and Oakland has one, and it is financed by a San Diego businessman.

Floyd Kephart is Chairman of Renaissance Companies which advises hedge funds, private equity firms, and financial institutions from his office in Rancho Santa Fe.

Oakland's plan is a stadium and redevelopment on 200 acres of land jointly owned by the city and the county.

Floyd Kephart was hired to secure the financing which is in place. The only thing holdup up a deal is the politicians reaching agreement on the development part of the deal.

"The city and county's bureaucratic processes of agreeing between the two of them," said Kephart.

A draft agreement was circulated Thursday night, and the city has responded.

"My guess is, we end up with that agreement being done in the next two weeks. When that agreement gets done, then there will be direct negotiations with the Raiders," he said.

By contrast, the Chargers will not even see a plan for another couple of months.

Not only are the Rams well ahead of the Chargers, so are the Raiders.

"The big difference here is that we don't need voter approval. We're not borrowing any money. The Raiders are doing everything in their power to stay in Oakland," he said.

Including significant financial commitments, and a smaller 55,000 seat stadium to protect their fan base by keeping ticket prices down.

"Scale of one-to-ten, we're at an eight on being able to get this done in Oakland, and I really think it's gonna happen," he said. 

If the Raiders are close to a deal, why partner with the Chargers in Carson?

Because both teams need an alternative in case any deals collapse.

Both teams have strong ties to their communities, both want to stay, but so far, neither has received the political support they feel they deserve.

It is about leverage which is why the NFL has kept Los Angeles open, to give teams leverage against their cities to get a new stadium under threat of leaving.

"That's what I think, yeah, I don't have any basis for that other than both teams made virtually the same kind of response," said Kephart.

Beyond that, the Raiders have a huge, and national brand they want to protect, and it can only be protected if they stay in Oakland.

Raiders are gonna release LaMarr Woodley this week

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Hopefully with MJD and Schaub on the same day.

 

[jumpman ii]

Idk about you guys but I wish we could flip Matt McGroin into a late round pick

 

[ice city fc]

McGloin gotta be worth a 3rd or 4th I want to keep him around though.
