The Oakland Raiders 2016 Offseason Thread | Welcome, Karl & Jihad & Shilique & DeAndre

guess thats better than London. hopefully its their home game not ours. NFL needs to go back to Japan.
 
Man yall inspired me and my boys to start discussing a trip to New Orleans last week but Mexico would be too hard to pass up.

If it were at Azteca :wow: +100,000 easy.
 
still remember that cowboys/oilers game at azteca in the 90's. that **** looked crazy.
 
I know DJ's coverage at the corner has surpassed suspect and straight into suck big time territory. But he plays physical....Would anyone be opposed to give dude a chance at safety next season? Just be an enforcer....Maybe the extra space from the line would give him better chances at covering.

I'm really just opposed to any plan that involves cutting him outright this offseason.

Additional talent at the CB position bumping DJ down the depth chart is an absolute necessity but I'm not trying to see him cut out of spite.

I thought he would be cut early but now I see him fighting for a spot in training camp

Yea to me it seems like people have been overreacting calling for DJ's head all season when realistically from a personnel standpoint, I just don't see us being in a position where CB's #5 and #6 have a superior combination of talent and/or production than Hayden. If so we'd be pretty fortunate.

We don't have the best record drafting top DB talent in the draft (minus Woodson), I don't want to waste another top pick on another Fabian Washington/DJ Hayden

Raiders pack up, look to next season
By Tom FitzGerald January 4, 2016 Updated: January 4, 2016 5:28pm

Derek Carr woke up to his alarm clock Monday and sensed that something was wrong.

“I felt like I was late and started freaking out,” he said. “I ran downstairs - and it was kind of over.”

Then he figured out that the alarm was set “at a time it hasn’t been set at for about eight months,” the Raiders quarterback said before loading equipment into a cardboard box in the locker room.

A 7-9 season that was disappointing but with many signs of a promising future was over. “I definitely don’t plan on it ending this soon for the rest of my career,” Carr said.

Like several other Raiders, Carr said he felt the team should have made the playoffs. “But we didn’t earn it,” he said.

The undercurrent in the locker room was that the team could be playing in Los Angeles next season. The players are as eager to find out where they’ll be playing as anybody. The team, along with the Rams and Chargers, is waiting to see who’ll wind up in the Los Angeles market. A decision from NFL owners could come as early as next week.

“This is where I’ve played, so I love Oakland,” Carr said. “I love our fans. But I know that Raider Nation is everywhere. It doesn’t matter what (city) is put in front of it, we’re always the Raiders.”

“I can’t control anything as far as that goes,” center Rodney Hudson said. “I was told years ago to control what you can control, so I don’t really think about that.”

In his second year, Carr nearly reached 4,000 yards passing (3,987) with 32 touchdowns against 13 interceptions.

Asked if he would take some time to decompress, he said with a smile, “Since my strength coaches are probably listening, I’ll say two weeks.” Then he admitted he probably would do some training later in the day. “That’s just in my DNA,” he said.

Unlike last offseason, he’ll have the same head coach and essentially the same skill-position players to work with this offseason. There’s a lot to be said for continuity, he said.

The consistently good offenses “were always together,” he said. He won’t need to wait until June or July, just before training camp, to work out with his receivers. “The more we can be together,” Carr noted, “the more we can play together and grow, the better that we’re going to be.”

Offensive tackle Donald Penn, an unrestricted free agent, indicated he hopes to be back. “You have to look at all the improvements we made,” he said. “You have to look at our rankings as a team in statistical categories. We made tremendous jumps in everything.”

One of those improvements was that Latavius Murray rushed for 1,066 yards. “To me, it didn’t feel like a 1,000-yard season,’’ he said. “There were games where there was absolutely nothing, so for me I just know I want to get better.”

The offense struggled down the stretch. “I think mainly it’s us beating ourselves, whether it was turnovers or not staying on the field, not converting, sustaining drives,” Murray said. “I think we’ll get better, clean it up and not beat ourselves.”

Charles Woodson’s retirement leaves a gaping hole in the secondary, the players acknowledged. “You’re losing a legend, man,” cornerback David Amerson said. “But he definitely taught the secondary a lot. We’ve just got to take that through the season and throughout our careers and strive from it.’’

Injured safety Nate Allen said he learned from Woodson “the most I’ve learned from anybody’’ in his career. “Just sitting there watching him day in and day out in meetings and practice, picking his mind here and there.”

24. Last I've read, our plan has between 18-20 votes supporting us. Kroenke's plan seems to be fading.

In order for the move to happen how many owners have to approve it?

24 votes.

Also the Rose Bowl said no to hosting a team and the Coliseum is only willing to accommodate one team.

So teams might still play at their own stadiums if a project gets approved.
 
I still don't think its going to happen....But if it does happen...I'm gonna spend a grip buying all the Oakland Raiders gear if they go on sale.

I should call my season ticket representative and be like I'm ready to pay full upfront for next season right now! lol.
