He forced his way off a playoff team to sign with a better one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the pattern I see on here. There is a little extra frustration though due to the fact that he went to Kansas City Edited March 29, 2021 by Jeremy408 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love our Raiders... KC and playing next to Chris Jones is an ideal situation for a guy whose 28 and on a one year deal.... looking to hit FA and get paid for the last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyGlove Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 we need RT, FS and CBs. If we're limited to only singing one or two of these positions. We might need to wait till after the draft before signing them. If we go Tre Boston and Sherman for example right now and have no cap left. But then in the draft no tackle or nickle falls to us for value. We're in a bad situation to reach for need again. Waiting till after let's us go for more BPA then fill in the gaps when we know what the gaps will be. I can see some vets holding out till then too, they might get a prove increase as they have better leverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, players don't want to play here unless it's a massive overpay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when you have a losing culture and the media paint the ownership and management as constantly making mistakes. Add being in the same division as the Cheifs who players want to go to because of Reid and Mahomes. Dont want to end up like New England and the AFC East where nobody wants to go to any of the teams because the division is an automatic lock as players take pay cuts to win a ring.

BigD1123 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You guys think that now that we are in Vegas. Is that the reason we haven't brought Aldon Smith back? I mean he would really be a help on passing downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he would really be a help on passing downs. He looked good in one game early but bad rest of the year. He was clean last year but is the upside worth the risk not only on an NFL level but human. If he was that good Cowboys would've kept him. Good edges don't get released and stay on the market.
