I agree that we need an upgrade at WR, Hollins is a #4 or #5 type but is so good on ST you want to keep him. I agree but given the large amount of needs I wouldn’t be upset if we resigned Hollins and drafted or signed a deep threat WR, preferably one who can replace Renfrow as PR. Renfrow does a good job but I’d like to preserve hIm. Agholor or someone like him would be the type I’d want. I thought T. Johnson could possibly give us that speed/deep threat element this year but didn’t. but I think with Waller and Renfrow deserving so many targets we can get away with a lesser starter. I’d rather have 2 #3 type WRs then just 1 Better starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take tranquill for sure. Bates and Bell are both FAs. With different skill sets. Bates is a deep guy and prolly too expensive, bell is good handling te’s, which we could definitely use. I like Hargrave & Dre Mont Jones at DT as well although Hargrave will be costly. DJ Chark at WR, Seumalo & Nate David at G also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed when I saw that but he could be rather expensive. Another site I saw projected 15-16.5m apy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 One thing I do wonder IF Brady does come will Gronk come out of retirement for a year. It was a package deal a couple years ago and i think it could happen for at least a year if Brady does come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I was against keeping Waller but if he shows up against Kansas City, and seems complete re-motivated with a different QB, we should keep him for 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, assuming Brady comes for 20 mil, the extra 6-10 we save can go to Jacobs, allows us to use the predetermined large cap and rollover we have from last year, and our draft picks, on online and defense. I'm all down for keeping everyone under contact we have. I'd rather not create more holes than we already have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Waller is he is our new Trent Brown, won't play through injury no matter how minor. I just hope a new QB motivates him, which it seemingly already has. I honestly think there was friction with Carr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he is a bad person but he might be the type that does not understand how his words are perceived. I saw in Stidham exactly what I have been criticizing Carr's on field play for a while. It is also why I think a QB with less natural physical ability than Carr could get more out of players on the team. In order for players to buy into a system the leaders need to do the same. Carr could have said all the right things pregame but him refusing to take shots or sacrifice himself for the team makes it less likely for those lower level players to do the same. Players will rally around Stidham or a Fitzpatrick. Carr did not do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr would have never taken those shots and would have thrown it away, or braced for a sack (protecting himself for a less impactful hit). Stidham gained a TD on one play and massive yards on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he had the big catch and celebration with Stidham last week, but, he did that against Steelers too. . Also had a timely drop on a big play, where next play was an Int. Seemed like the same Waller to me last week. Just based of play, was there interview or anything where you get that vibe? Or just based off the year as a whole?

Jeremy408 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports the Raiders are "looking at the idea" of signing QB Jimmy Garoppolo in 2023. Here's the thing though what if Jared Stidham is better than Garoppolo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
