RaidersAreOne Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I'll echo what I said in our forum: Guess I am in the vast minority but I am happy about this. Waller is a soon-to-be 31 year old, one dimensional, overpaid bandaid. He hasn't played a full season in two years, missing like 12 games over that stretch. He doesn't block. When he was playing he often had timely drops. Sure he was an absolutely cheat code 3 years ago and his rehab story is heartwarming, but he has been steadily declining since getting that huge pay day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take that any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I think it comes down to which one you think is a better rapper. On that basis, I’d say the 5th round pick is the most valuable asset in that swap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given his age, his number and his health, I'd rather Moreau moving forward even if waller manages a comeback for a year. It's not uncommon for TE's to be impact players well into their 30's. In other words, I'd rather have the TE with the potential to play at an elite level for a few years vs a serviceable guy in Moreau for 5+ years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_Vandalay Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Damn, I wanna find a reason to hate on this but I can't. That's a solid move for NYG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 He’s made of wet tissue paper and doesn’t have a tough bone in his body. 31 years old and hasn’t put in effort since he got paid. Raiders also could’ve got more for him a few months ago but turned it down so that they could…still miss the playoffs. Everyone’s taking an L here IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 7 minutes ago, Forge said: If they are bringing back Foster Moreau, this is mostly inconsequential for the raiders imo Moreau is a decent player, but even with Waller missing a bunch of time these past two years, Moreau's peak game was like 6 catches for 60 yards and a TD. 3 career games over 60 yards, 3 career games over 5 catches. Never caught multiple TDs in a game. Moreau is your very generic, he'll get you 3 - 4 catches for about 40 yards per game, kind of TE. Waller, even with his recent struggles, is way more of a potentially game breaking talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't receiving only guys like Waller who rely on freakish athleticism age worse than the more traditional guys like Witten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we'd get more for him but I'm also OK w/ this for the reasons you stated. We literally lost a game b/c Waller dropped that late TD pass lol. Moreau is a good player and can do well at the position. Edited March 14, 2023 by BobbyPhil1781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough couple of days for Raiders fans. Even worse is the cryptic stuff Davante has been posting. Seems he doesn't want to be there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyNumber11 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Gotta think that the DHop trade should be coming any second now. And that this takes the Giants out from contention there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Looks like it is more of a one year commitment to the Giants given that contract. So, it is an easy out for them. Compensation was under what I thought his value was...even given the injuries. Looks like a great "get" by the G-Men and a "meh" return for the Raiders. And I'll echo the statement....Packers offered more for him....twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we don't revert to bringing him back. He had ample opportunities with Waller on the sideline and didn't do anything. Purely a JAG. He You can do worse but certainly much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
