RaidersAreOne Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 BOYS! Top 3 WR for pennies. Can you imagine paying Bryant for hardly more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're going to give him $50M over the next 3 years when we wouldn't pay Khalil Mack? How much cap space do we even have left for free agency? Building around old veterans isn't exactly a recipe for success when the rest of your team is terrible. What a boring life you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building around old veterans isn't exactly a recipe for success when the rest of your team is terrible. The difference is in the guaranteed money and the money given on signing. Mack's guaranteed money is 90 mill plus a big bonus on signing, Browns 30. Big difference. Cooper will likely get a longer contract, similar amount per year and more guaranteed. Brown's contract is close to Sammy Watkins per year. I actually agree with you in the sense of building around vets and even with what I see as extremely good value trade wise and fairly good value contract wise, I still probably wouldn't have done it. But it's not black and white and I can certainly see the potential plus side of this for us. I'm mainly just really pleased that Gruden and Mayock made a very good value trade. Happy to eat crow on that as I had prematurely judged that relationship. Hopefully this is a good sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Surely this trade means that Carr will be our QB next year. You'd have to think that it was discussed with Brown prior to him agreeing to come. You would also think that Mayock and Gruden would only make this type of trade thinking of a known quantity in Carr. I wouldn't have thought that you would invest that amount on a weapon if you weren't doing it to commit to your current QB. I hope so anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building around old veterans isn't exactly a recipe for success when the rest of your team is terrible. In terms of Mack and the ‘’rebuilding’ nonsense, I would agree ir doesn’t make much sense. But getting Brown for a 3rd and a fifth is a good deal. We still need to get a young WR in the draft imo.Hopefully AB can be a good mentor re practice etc. With someone of ABs ability we might be more of an attractive option in FA.

Rolni Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The trade was made smartly for great price IMO. The deal is rich, but AB can live up to that easily. Just check the Watkins deal lol. Now it is up to Gruden and Carr to make it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwinbaby81 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Great trade, great deal for us and AB. I get the feeling we will continue to make a big splash this offseason. Let's gooo Just win bABy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 This is not a long term re-build. Can we finally put this notion to bed? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just now, Rich7sena said: This is not a long term re-build. Can we finally put this notion to bed? It's a retooling. We'll see how "close" we are/aren't when free agency and the draft shake out. I'm hoping we can land 3-5 smart signings in FA and retain Cook on a reasonable 3 year deal. That may be too much to ask... we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Carr is the QB next year. Brown wants to play with Carr. You’re not gonna put this guy in full diva mode by drafting a rookie. They are both super hyped already. Chemistry already coming together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonGruber Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well I hope Derek Carr practices that deep ball no more rainmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog44 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Good move for the Raiders. I didn’t want him in Washington because we didn’t have the QB, coach, GM, cap room to keep him happy. With only a 3 year deal he be gone by the time you have to pay this years rookies. Really well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Trading picks and paying him.. dont know how u guys like it. Sure hes great under current contract id be ok. Yes hes better than cooper now.
