Blaze one for the NATION
I think not resigning Wilson was a bad move. Could've gave him one more year to pan out in Oakland.

Putting the Tag on Nnamdi was a great move. Got the best coner in the NFL to stay, And if we wanted to get rid of him. He has tons of trade value.

Now, Who thinks we should go after TJ Whosyamomma? Shiit, We could draft a WR this year. But wouldn't you want a Vet teaching the rookie?

i doubt you guys have the cap space to go after TJ.

I don't know how much money it would take but if we could somehow get Chad Johnson, TJ, or Plaxico it would be worth it for whatever the price.

It'd allow us to draft an OT in the first round and get a star WR.

Doubtful and unrealistic, but I need to dream in order to stay sane.
 
The Raiders have money. They made cap space by releasing all of last years free agent signings and a couple other players.
 
The Raiders have enough to go after a #1 WR. Maybe not a long term deal. Only for about three years.
 
Justin Fargas and Nnamdi Asomugha were the recipients of the 2008 Commitment to Excellence Award.

Asomugha was on a trip overseas so he was not in attendance but Fargas was. If you guys haven't read about it or seen clips of it I suggest you go to the Raiders website to check it out. We don't have too many players to brag about, but Fargas and Nnamdi are two of the best in the NFL when it comes to work ethic & leadership.

I don't know how many of you have been keeping up with the Raiders off-season transactions, but here is a list of the guys who have restructured their contracts so far in order to open up some salary cap room for the team:

Javon Walker
Robert Gallery
Justin Fargas

Reports indicate that JaMarcus Russell is in the midst of restructuring his deal, as well.

Raiders resign Jimmy Miller! Awesome news.

Raiders bring back Miller: Emphasize continuity on Special Teams
16 March 2009 No Comment

The Oakland Raiders have made it a point of emphasis to bring back the same cast of characters on special teams this off-season. The Silver & Black will have Justin Miller returning kickoffs again in 2009 after he signed a two-year deal.

Miller, 25, gave a jolt to the Oakland return teams midway through the 2008 season after being cut by the New York Jets. His 32-kickoff returns for 794 yards and two scores helped the Silver & Black finish strong and gave a boost to a special teams that already had one of the top punt returners in the league.

Miller handled kickoffs once acquired, and with punt returner Johnnie Lee Higgins having a breakout season, the pair accounted for five of the team’s 27 touchdowns.

Tennessee was reportedly pursuing Miller’s services, as ex-Raider and current Titan return man Chris Carr was shopping himself around the league.

With the move, Oakland continues to keep continuity on special teams with players they feel can come together to form one of the better units in the league. They re-signed Isaiah Ekejiuba, Tony Stewart, Jon Alston, and Jon Condo since the season ended. John Fassel, who the team feels will inject more life to the coverage teams, will now coordinate that group, and with the return of Tyvon Branch, Oakland will look at special teams as one its strengths and a unit that will help them win more games.

RAIDERS ADD COACH

Aaron Pelch, who was an assistant coach at Millsaps College, will join the Raiders as an assistant to John Fassel.

“Aaron did a tremendous job for us these last three years at Millsaps” Mike DuBose said. “He is a very talented individual that will be in this profession for a long time. We wish him the best.“

WILLIAM JOSEPH ALSO KEPT

Defensive tackle William Joseph also signed a deal, but terms have not been disclosed. The former first-round draft pick of the New York Giants played sparingly in 2008. According to reports, he was in for Monday workouts in Oakland.

With the signing of Khalif Barnes, Mike Lombardi has all but guaranteed that the Raiders will not be drafting an OT with the 7th pick in the draft. If this is true, Jeremy Maclin or Michael Crabtree will most likely be wearing silver and black next season. Unless the Raiders decide to trade the 7th.

OT Barnes signs one-year deal with Raiders

Posted: News | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Khalif Barnes, Oakland Raiders

NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi confirms that free agent offensive tackle Khalif Barnes has signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Raiders. According to Lombardi, the Raiders have also promised not to choose an offensive tackle in April’s NFL Draft.

Barnes, 26, was drafted in the second round in 2005 by the Jaguars and has started 57 games in his four-year career. Barnes will compete for a starting job, as the Raiders cut veteran left tackle Kwame Harris last month.

Why would you want them to take B.J. Raji?? They need to address their O-line and WR WAYY before DT.
Click to expand...

I think the OL is good for at least next year. I don't think Raji is a good choice at 7 though because the AFC West as a whole is no longer a run-first division.

The Broncos and the Chargers have both become pass-first offenses. We need a DEnd to compliment Burgess or replace Burgess more than a DTackle.

But even more so than that, we need a WR. Maclin or Crab at 7.

If crab isnt avaiable at 7, then they wont take maclin that early. I can see them grabbing either crab, orakpo, or curry (if he falls) at that spot.
 
Doesn't really matter if it's not a run first division anymore. The offense right now is just fine as it is. Raji would make that defense complete. The Raiders run defense is always close to last (if not last) almost every year. With a run defense that horrific the Raiders won't be winning anything.

The Raiders acquired tackles Erik Pears and Khalif Barnes and could easily pick up a decent tackle such as William Beatty with the 40th overall pick. Walker restructured his contract and the Raiders have young prospects at WR. Without Al Davis seeing Crabtree's fourty people close to the Raiders organization says they likely won't draft him. Maybe Maclin at 7.

I really want the Raiders to draft B.J. Raji if he's available to them at #7 overall.

Aso is partly right about Raji and the divison. But wouldnt you want some young talent at least trying to clog up the hole aganist a LT? LT run up the Raiders ass last year.

I say we take Brain Orakpo. If he's not there of course Crabtree and Jmac are still fine picks.
 
Raiders signed former Viking Marcus Johnson. He can play right tackle and both guard positions.
