big_palooka Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Nothing but love for Seabass. Sad that he kicked for the majority of his career in an era of worthless Raider football and meaningless games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 So Carrie met with Gruen today. Still hope he's brought back. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/sports/csn/raiders/Gruden_meeting_reinforces_TJ_Carrie_s_desire_to_remain_a_Raider-474101623.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the crop of currently available players, this is how I sort them out considering age, upside, and potential cost: 1) Kyle Fuller 2) E.J. Gaines 3) Rashaan Melvin 4) Trumaine Johnson 5) Bashaud Breeland 6) Malcolm Butler 7) T.J. Carrie 8) Ross Cockrell 9) Vontae Davis 10) Prince Amukamara Give me Melvin and re-sign Carrie.

Blazer026 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Gonna miss Seabass. Fan Favorite. Hope he just retires. Not saying we should keep him over Tavecchio, but I wasn't too impressed with him besides his amazing debut. Went 12/17 after that first game. Only missed the one extra point, but it was a big one. Bad snap if I recall though. I'm just not completely sold on Tavecchio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver&Black88 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/sports/csn/raiders/Gruden_meeting_reinforces_TJ_Carrie_s_desire_to_remain_a_Raider-474101623.html Quote Soul searching wasn't required to realize his dream scenario. The East Bay native wants to stay in Oakland, with a Raiders team he loved as a kid. "My intention is to be here," Carrie said. "I'm a Bay Area guy, a hometown kid. I couldn't see myself being anywhere else. This is a passion for me. I dreamed about playing for the Raiders for such a long time. Now that I've had the opportunity to play there for four years, I want to finish (with the Raiders)." A week or 2 ago beat writers were saying he was all but gone too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck look at Gotscowski for the patriots. Get TDS and then it won’t matter who the kicker is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying though, we could definitely have someone worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in it for the paycheck, celebrity and to hit 10K yard for his career. Fan boys are fooling themselves if they think Lynch is a team guy or anyone who actually cares about winning at this stage in his career. I both agree and disagree. Depending on who we can get (FA + draft), I'm down with letting him walk. But I'd wait until I had someone in place first, personal preference. Show me a player that isn't in it for a paycheck, though. He's a big enough celebrity anyway. No doubt he wanted to hit 10k career yards. I don't think he's a team guy, but I'd stop short of saying he doesn't care about winning. Either way, I'm all in on drafting a guy. I'm all in on bringing a free agent in. I'm just not cutting Lynch until someone is firmly in place. I'm not well versed in contracts, so you may be able to help me on this, would we be losing anything cutting him after June 1?

big_palooka Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 He'll need to restructure if he wants to come back. Doubt they will pay him 8+ mil. My guess is, they try to restructure some of these guys to lower the cap figure. Take it or they are cut. Defense however is going to get an overhaul. Only player safe is Mack. Guenther is going to mold that to his standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
