Turnobili Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Key is a bum. But Hurst is good. he always seemed to play better than the coaches were treating him. whoever lands him should be happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 i remember when there was talk that Key was going to be the #1 pick in the draft for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the writing seemed to be on the wall when we signed so many DL this off season. I felt like he was in the dog house or something with Rod M as Collins got way more snaps last year and SUCKED.

Hoping it is not a health issue with his heart but appears to be financially motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Arden Key sucks. Never liked him when we drafted him either. As for Hurst, some team is going to get a very good interior pass rushing role player. He’s not a starter by any means, but he’s pretty good at rushing the passer if you factor in he’s a role player and not a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Hurst was so cheap against the cap, too. This is just a stupid, stupid move. He would have at the very least netted us a comp pick down the line. Edited April 15, 2021 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurst also would have cost next to nothing for this year and at the very least would have likely netted us a comp pick down the line (or contributed to the formula). just a bad FO doing bad FO things.

FGK Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The Maurice Hurst half of this confuses the heck out of me. Gotta think SOMEONE would've given up a late round pick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 They're about to go to new teams on 1 or 2 year deals then get a second contract. It's the Raider way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Anyone who needs an interior rush from a role player perspective, or maybe even as a DT2, should sign Hurst asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It feels like for a few years now the Raiders have been in this weird holding pattern of simultaneously making moves to both rebuild and to compete, and not in a compatible way. Usually you can sort of identify where a team sees itself. I don't get any feel for that with the Raiders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
