RaidersAreOne Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 He has shown potential in the past and is only 23. Was recently cut from Philly following an arrest. I assume there won't be a major issue of him being suspended if we are bothering to sign him. This adds a lot of good depth to our CB group.

BackinBlack Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 i like this a lot, young, has shown potential, and i am sure was cheap. it seems we know have 3 capable players in him, Conley and Rashaan Melvin. With none of them given that #1 spot*, i expect it to be a great camp battle. *Note I am betting Conley will be given the spot to start camp, but if he doesnt play the best, there is no way he is day one #1 if it wasnt earned throughout TC and preseason IMO.

Dessie Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Like the guy coming out. Another big body CB, which Reggie seems to prefer. Could of course be a smokescreen for if we like Ward, but it’s a low risk high reward type signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mct288 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I like it. Not thrilled with that arrest, but it wasn't a violent crime, so I can chalk it up to youthful indiscretion. Despite the up and down play, there have been enough flashes to get me at least intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABYLON 5 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I like him at WV played ok when was a panther he gets burnt at times but good ball skills.I think he will be a better safety then corner but i could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Need CB depth, but indications are he's not the hardest worker out there so could be short stay if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I doubt this staff will allow shenanigans. If he pans out it'll be because of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 college teammate of Karl Joseph.. hopefully we can create some synergy in the defensive backfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 That's plenty of CB's to have some meaningful competition. I hate it when we've only got 2 or 3 potential starters and players forget to work hard because they don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost his starting spot last year and it’s unknown how much money he wants... This is a worthwhile gamble at a position of need... we have signed 2 corners who started last year in Melvin and Worley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't. Reid is getting no where near starting money at this point. And Im not comparing them as players, just saying it's strange how a guy can get arrested for DUI, gun charge, and fighting with the police and get signed a week later - but Reid remains unsigned. I have a general beef with the NFL for that and not just the Raiders - I shouldve worded it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
