ragingraider Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This might be happening. I would have said impossible, but you would think this would have been squashed already wit Brady returning to Patriots as a done deal. Instead, we have some interesting reporting. https://nypost.com/2020/01/19/open-minded-tom-brady-spotted-with-grinning-raiders-owner-mark-davis/ https://twitter.com/AdamHillLVRJ?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/01/19/another-offseason-belongs-tom-brady-he-ponders-his-future-where-hell-play/ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2872101-ufcs-dana-white-says-tom-brady-will-play-with-raiders-if-he-leaves-patriots I"m still dubious, but we could be good quickly if it comes to fruition. If Brady signs on, we keep the oline intact. Draft a WR1. Sign a bunch of top Defensive free agents to short term deals and draft defensive after #12. Could be very much like Peyton coming to the Broncos. IF Brady is Coming #12 WR Ceedee Lamb WR trade #19 plus 2021 3rd rounder to Indy for second round #34, #44 #34 Patrick Queen LB #44 Jacob Eason #80 Zach Baun OLB #81 Clyde Edwards Helaire RB #90 Jabari Zuniga DE #111 Levonta Taylor CB Free Agents Byron Jones CB 14 Million Littleton MLB 15 Million Jimmie Ward S 9 million Phillip Dorsett WR 6 Million Maleik Collins 8 milion Cut Whitehead and Carr or trade them OFFENSE QB-Brady / Kizer/Eason RB Josh Jacobs/Clyde Edwards Helaire/ Jalen Richard FB Alec Ingold WR Ceedee Lamb, Dorsett, Renfrow, Williams, Zay Jones TE Waller /Moreau/Carrier OT Miller/Brown/Sharpe/Parker G Incognito/Good/ Jackson /Devey C Hudson/James DEFENSE DE Ferrell, Crosby, Key, Mayowa, Jordan, Zuniga DT Hurst, Hall, Hankins, Collins LB Littleton, Baun, Queen, Lee CB Mullens, Jones, Johnson, Joyner, Nixon, Taylor S Abrams, Ward, Harris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG_C2X Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I wouldn't touch Ward with a 10 foot pole. I would rather spend less of KoJo or More or Anthony Harris. And I don't like Eason at all. I'll take a shot on Fromm before I take a shot on Eason. Maybe even Hurts ir Love. But no way I like anything about Eason projections as a pro.

Mr Raider Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I wouldn't mind it on a 1 or 2 year deal. Obviously you can't give him some long term deal. But if we can land one of the top wideouts (Lamb, Higgins, Jeudy) it would be the best overall offense Brady has had in a long time. Use the rest of our free agent resources on the defensive side of the ball and invest the rest of our draft picks on defense and depth (and hopefully a QB to groom under Brady for that year or two), ir wouldn't be the worst plan in the world. I don't think Brady is done, I don't think hes the Brady of old either. But with Jacobs, Waller, Renfrow, a top 10 OL, and hopefully an improved defense he could certainly do enough to make a deep push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Good god that Is ugly to see haha. Really though, he'd be an upgrade over Carr and all I care about is freaking winning. I want us to capture Las Vegas like the Knights did with a super successful season right out of the gates. If Tom Brady can help us do that, then I'll put my hatred aside for the guy and pray for his success as a Raider. Renfrow, Waller and the smurfs would thrive with TB12. However we would definitely have to upgrade the other WR spots (as we need to even if we stick with Carr). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrell is better than his numbers indicated. And if we draft Ruggs or Ceedee, Brady will LOVE them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 UFC guy wants Brady because UFC is in Vegas. Brady wants Vegas to help him make money, by either driving up what NE pays or giving him 70+ million for two years. I don't see Raiders having the same 'splash' as Knights and that usually doesn't happen. Ravens got lucky too. Poor Browns fans. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCOUGHMAN Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Maybe it’s just me but it seems strange to build a team around a 40 yr old qb and give him top $. Is that what rebuilding teams do nowadays? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what rebuilding teams do nowadays? He most definitely wouldn't be considered a long-term solution though. A team would get 2 years MAX out of Tom. So in a sense it wouldn't be building a team around him as most of the pieces on O are already established. It's moreso adding another weapon or two on O and revamping our D and potentially QB position to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what rebuilding teams do nowadays? Cause the whole rebuilding thing is overstated. What do we need on offense. A number 1 wr and a backup rb. How many teams can say they are set that much on offense. The defense needs work. A whole lb core and a real inside pass rusher and corner. You could get most of that in an offseason or 2 if draft correctly and use cap right. So this whole rebuilding this is crazy. We are building. That's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Said this was my dream scenario months ago and feel great about it happening. Makes to much sense football wise and makes sense business wise for his TB12 program. Got the pieces in place for him to have success and the draft picks to put a big time WR that he wants. Got 70 million and counting to add playmakers on defense. You can do all this while taking a QB in the later rounds to stash and get ready in a year or two. When do people realize that you’re not rebuilding unless ur doing what the Dolphins are doing. You don’t give Trent all that money to rebuild. You don’t give Tyrell all that money to rebuild. That’s retooling. I want this to happen cause I would love to see what Brady can do for this team also want to see it happen so I can sit here and witness the chaos on here and twitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitty 2.0 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 How many times has a player use the Raiders as leverage against his own team and people still believe it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you trade Carr for a 2nd and let Brady groom your future QB nothing wrong with that if we winning.and you are still building the team for the young QB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
