Good = Simpson for pennies on the dollar probably draft Trent Brown replacement with one of the first 2 picks Hudson wanted to be gone, flipped him for a decent pick. James a wild card, could turn out to be a stud Even signed Richie for cheap we have alot of young DBs, it's time to develop them Joseph is worlds better than Worley or Leavitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They add one player who could be described as impact. Yes you 'like' what they did in FA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do things like this all the time. Last year I was against paying Heath 3.5M when Joseph WANTED to come back and with the veteran cap credit would have costed the vet minimum. I’m against paying over 2M as a general rule for depth. I don’t even dislike Heath, we could have carried both. That’s just one example off my head. Idk why we pay more for lesser talent. We do it all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood "we could have signed him for x" arguments after another teams signs a player. The player has to want to play for the Raiders. The assumption that they all do. Or worse.. you pay them more they will is misguided 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We act like everybody wants to sign everywhere for the same the amount. It's not franchise mode in madden lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. I think the secondary is a red flag, but we needed a proven pass rusher and we got one. And outside of Drake, we didn’t overpay anyone. And resigned key guys in Hankins, Morrow, Good, and Incognito, all of who could have signed elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Raiders overpaid by that much Jacob has been getting run down at the end of the year and with the 17th game the Raiders were worried.

Hudson is one of the best in the game. If James was pushing him that much, it would've been known. Rodney wanted out because we've consistently regressed and keep letting our vocal and moral leadership get away from us in favor of Gruden guys. Our institutional incompetence caused that rift, mo question about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
