Moving day for Morrison or Howard?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at 12:36 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Either the Raiders are going to make a move or two with their linebackers or they’re going to have to get a bigger meeting room.
Following the selection of Rolando McClain with their first round pick, the Raiders have 11 linebackers on the roster.
The rundown:
ILB-OLB Ricky Brown, special teams and former contender to start in the middle
LB Isaiah Ekejiuba, a linebacker in name only, a core special teams player.
OLB Quintin Groves, a defensive/end linebacker who is listed as a linebacker on Raiders.com on their roster.
OLB Thomas Howard, a second-round draft pick and a starter since his rookie year. Chances are he’s not starting this year.
MLB Kirk Morrison, the leading tackler for the last five years, due $2.512 million, and probably on his way out one way or another.
OLB David Nixon, practice squad promotion last year who went to camp in 2009 as an undrafted free agent.
OLB Slade Norris, a fourth-round pick last year who didn’t make the 53-man roster, was promoted late in the year and ended season on I.R.
OLB Trevor Scott, moved from defensive end to weakside linebacker, the position Cable said he will play in 2010.
OLB Kamerion Wimbley, acquired from Cleveland for a third-round draft pick, will start on the strong side.
OLB Sam Williams, erstwhile former third-round pick who is at this point a special teams player.
Let’s go ahead assume Texas outside linebacker Sergio Kindle is not an option today, even if he falls to No. 39, unless defensive coordinator John Marshall is tinkering with a 2-6-3 alignment.
If the Raiders make a move with Morrison, it would most likely affect Saturday’s picks than those of today.
The moment McClain was drafted, Morrison’s trade value dropped. Opposing teams realize that with his salary, there is little or no chance he’ll be on the roster this season. With that information, many teams will simply wait until Morrison is cut, then they cans sign him to a lower figure.
The Raiders are known for wanting top dollar, but in Morrison’s case, the market isn’t going to bring them what they hoped to get _ the third-round tender placed on him as a restricted free agency.
Howard’s sitaution is also tenuous, given the commitment to Scott on the weakside and the ability of Mike Mitchell to move into the box in some defensive alignments.
Despite all the starts and tackles, Morrison and Howard aren’t going to bring much in return.
If you want a comp, as they say in the real estate business, look at Ernie Sims, dealt from Detroit to Philadelphia in a three-way deal. Sims, like Morrison and Howard, piled up a lot of tackles on a poor defensive team. But when dealt to Philadelphia in a three-way trade, the Lions got tight end Tony Scheffler and all the Eagles parted with to get Sims was a fifth-round draft pick. Howard was a second-round pick, No. 38 overall.
The Raiders could use Morrison or Howard to pick up an extra late-round pick, or even simply to move up a few spots if they see a player they truly want.
Either that or hold the linebackers meeting at next week’s minicamp in the auditorium.

yeah ignore the troll. Some people likes to get attention that way.
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Cam Thomas seems like a safer pick, but Cody is a freak of nature. With RoMac on his ass he should stay on the correct side of 360. Just DO NOT PUT HIS LOCKER NEXT TO THE WALRUS!

Tyrone Biggums……Lmao…..
We have to go after O line today fellas. It’s a must. We’ve been avoiding it too long, and the post Cornell Green Era needs to start in a good fashion. Washington doesn’t have another pick until the fourth round either and I’m sure they’re feening like Biggums for extra picks. We should trade our 4th rounder for Campbell.
*****************
Agree – As much as I would like a studly interior D lineman to help McLain be All Pro, we MUST go O line today…………
**************************
no fukin way is it a must….as it is who is about to start at LT and RT besides henderson and barnes? thank you….we need a run stuffer at NT and we need it worse than ever…a young hungry bad ass like Cody makes defense absolutely unbearable
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:41 pm
McClain is much better than Bruce Campbell. Most Raider fans usually write off the first round for Al anyways. I dont expect McClain to be Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis. Above avg is good enough for me.

Agreed TROG. We need interior Dline help badly, but the MLB partially addresses the issues against the run, and the Ivy league kid, Kelly (gulp) and Seymour might make something this year together with a real head cracker behind ‘em. The O-line is an atrocity, especially on the right side. Just think, someone who couldn’t replace Cornell Green on our depth chart is currently our starter now at RT. Yikes…… I think OT is a bigger need than DT. Either way though, I’ll be happy. It’s not like we don’t need help at both spots. Cheers to us not drafting a DB with this next pick.

April 23rd, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Truthfully, if we can trade our 2nd rd pick for Gaither we need to do it though……..He’s already at ProBowl level and the Ravens are too scared to pay the young fella due to their lust for more playmakers at the skill positions…..

Well its just ive noticed many times Kelly getting doubled and he is the UT!!! Thats due to Gerard Warren sucking so bad. We cant afford to not have a bastard take space and allow the LBs free reign anymore. cody is mean and nasty and will bring attitude to defense…..also remember those blocked FGs vs Kiffin? That sold me
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Hey now – We are two plus hours away from the draft, our owner appears to have had a brain transplant, and all we can do is biotch slap each other?
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:45 pm
If the Raiders do indeed go o-line in round 2, who are some round 3 defensive tackles you guys like?
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Coach Urkel,
Explain why Capt Quirk only got a 3rd round tender and not a sniff from 31 otro teams. Coaches fault?

April 23rd, 2010 at 12:50 pm
That’s funny….we go from wanting to get rid of Kirk and being short handed on LB’s. To having more then we could handle on that position!
Get rid (trade) of Kirk and Howard and draft Spikes and Cody!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Cody doesnt go backwards….that is a relief compared to Warren
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:51 pm

April 23rd, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I hear ya Paul. We should be praising Al for not f’ing up and making a smart choice this year by taking an actual football player, but I think we’re just too reluctant to get happy because as we all know, optimism as a Raider fan is Pessimism living a lie….
Sam Cooke said a change is gonna come though and with us keeping Cable (gotta admit the team loves him, he doesn’t have to call the plays, just administrate over the others), releasing Cornell, and now drafting a real football player in McClain, some good things are happening in Oakland. It’s like we’re living a dream though and we’re about to be pinched when Al drafts a CB out of Santa Monica Community College in the 3rd round
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Why are you all so willing to give up on our best players?
Unbelievable…

Do you live in…SacTown perhaps? What is your opinion of Gruden? And Ron Wolf?
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Wouldn’t mind Ansuh in the 4th-5th. Awesome special teamer, return and gunner with DB potential. This dudes arms are huge and he’s fast!
Need O line and “backfield” as Cable said which I hope means a bad azz runblocking FB.
Schefter can spin all he wants, Denver looked like a Chinese fire drill yesterday and got 2 of the drafts more questionable players.
Ditched pro bowl Qb, ditched a pro bowl WR. Ditched one of the better TE’s and replaced them with A guy with a broken foot who played in a system that saw him run TWO patterns. Curl and go.
Takes Tebow and no one knows where this idiots gonna play but all agree he’s years away from playing NFL QB.
Said it before say it again, McDaniels “Kiffened” the Broncos.

April 23rd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Morrison isn’t a bad player. He deserves some of the blame for the run D but he’s better than the majority of our other LBs like Brown, Williams, Ekejuba, etc. Why couldn’t one of those guys go while Kirk is moved to ILB alongside McClain in a 3-4.
I’m not saying don’t deal him, but definitely don’t cut him or give him away for a 6th or 7th rounder.
The Giants would be a good trade partner. I think Morrison would do well there and fill a HUGE need on that roster. Maybe they’ll offer a 3rd. Or maybe something like Morrison + our 3rd for their 2nd and 6th or something like that.

Kirk can tackle, just lacks any instincts at the MLB position and has trouble shedding blocks. Would fare much better at OLB or behind an extremely stout d-line like the Giants where he could roam free more often.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:10 pm

With Russell’s contract he is literaly untradable.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:20 pm
JaMarcus is untradeable with his contract. We’d probably have to send a team a 4th or 5th rounder in addition to JaMarcus for nothing in return just to be able to dump the $3 million he’s guaranteed.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:21 pm
For he said we are in the losers section because we didn’t take an OT.

April 23rd, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I think Dallas will trade up with the Raiders today to get Mays. All will pull to a later round 2 and pick up an OT.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Kiper bashed every team last night that ‘could have’ used Claussen. He is really going to be pissed when McCoy gets drafted ahead of his boy.

To be honest I was arguing the same thing all the way up till yesterday but I’ve already got my rose colored glasses on and am hopeful our Run D will indeed be fixed. I think what makes me more content with the pick is the chance that we’ll still get the guy I wanted — Bruce Campbell — at No. 39.
However, I’m worried. Last year I wanted Maualuga at No. 7 and he came within one pick of dropping to us in Round 2 before the Bengals snagged him.

Report: Haynesworth deal expected now
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 23, 2010 4:21 PM ET
Here’s the latest on the $100 million man in list form because my brain is tired and I need to put on some pants and get over to Radio City Music Hall soon.
1. NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora’s sources is convinced Haynesworth’s trade will happen today. And despite Titans coach Jeff Fisher’s protestations, he says the most likely destination is Tennessee for a second round pick.
2. The Saints aren’t interested. Both the New Orleans Times-Picayune’s Jeff Duncan and Jay Glazer of FOX say they Saints don’t want him. He even used capital letters to say so:
“They have ZERO interest in Albert. ZERO!!!”
3. Both Haynesworth and the Redskins want a divorce. That doesn’t help leverage, so it behooves both sides to float rumors of interest, even if the interest is mild. When both sides want a divorce, the trade usually happens.

1. He’s too slow (just an A Gap player)
2. To many other players much better
3. Dez Bryant, Taylor Mays, Spiller all better players
4. We don’t need a LB
Morrison and Howard haven’t missed a game in 3 years…over 1,000 tackles…

He has blamed JR, now he is working on our LB’s….

he got OUTPLAYED by Gradkowski & Frye. 3rd string journeymen types. lucky to latch on a 53 man roster
JaWalrus is pathetic. SD gave up on Ryan Leaf after just 3 seasons. turned out to be a good decision
dumping JR would be no different imo. especially if we could get the next Brees/Rivers

LenDale, four Cowboys, almost every Raider available in trade
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 23, 2010 4:43 PM ET
The list of players who have been shopped in trade proposals over the last 24 hours includes some well-known veterans, former first-round picks, and almost everyone in Oakland.
After talking to several coaches and general managers, Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com has compiled a list of players who were shopped, and it includes some names you’d expect and some you might not.
Glazer reports that the Cowboys have made defensive end Marcus Spears, linebacker Bobby Carpenter and wide receivers Sam Hurd and Patrick Crayton available, the Jaguars talked to a few teams about defensive tackle John Henderson, the Saints were offering offensive tackle Jamaal Brown and the Titans are shopping running back LenDale White.
And, Glazer says, the Raiders let other teams know that nearly anyone on their roster is available, a message that the Raiders pass along every year.

Is Kiper a draft guy or an NFL GM?
Was McClain worth the 8th pick, yes or no?
That is all Kiper should be talking about. He has no freakin clue what teams need to win.
His job is to evaluate college players and assign them draft values.
McClain was worth the 8th pick. If he was the best pick for Oakland remains to be seen.

Coach, put down the crack pipe man!
Ro McClain is the reigning defensive player of the year in the best division in all of college football.
Saban called him one of the finest player’s he’s ever coached.
He’s an intense, natural leader and a coach on the field.
He’s a Ray lewis, Patrick Willis. He’s faster than Urlacher.
We are changing our defense. Kirk will be here.
He’s a great player. get over it.

I say that if Big Al behaves in the next two picks, we trade away next years draft for Haynesworth, Jamaal Brown, and Gaither. Hell, lets throw Henderson in as well. We already do not have a 1st, and give Al one last serious run at the title while the old codger is still alive.
Only partly joking!

Our coaching staff got hypnotized into picking McClain….sure we passed up on Bryant and Spiller…
Draft hype gets someone every year…this year it got us…
We can still fix it…with a trade TODAY
=========================
Your high.
“Hypnotized” into drafting a run stuffer for a run defense thats been a cellar dweller for years. Hooo kaaaay…
Spiller? Get a grip, we’ve got 2 good RBs, why pay another RB 8th overall money when we payed DMC 4th overall?
Bryant? Even the Cowboys reached for this trouble making loser and the only reason they did it is because they have a comprehansive babysitting program already in place from their other failed malcontents.
Irvin pizzes me off with his holier than thou BS. He was one of the biggest coke freaks in the League back in the day.

My best defensive player plays strong safety my friend
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Terrance Cody can dominate a bunch of grown up high schoolers. Cody is NOT going to be able to dominate grown professional athletes.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“Was” He probably still is a base smoker….
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:11 pm
As much as I hat to say it, Cody with the next pick and then scramble to get O line help any way possible after that.
Who knows, maybe Campbell will be available with our 3rd pick.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
We don’t have a 3rd down back…a shifty kr type like Sproles…which is what Spiller is!

HEre’s the deal guys.
Al Davis can’t run a team in modern free agency. Any decent minded GM would’ve dealt Morrison a week ago before the draft, because he is a proven commodity. Al screwed up because he couldn’t get anything in return.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:17 pm
you never put your best player at safety if you dont have a stud mlb. thats like puting your best player on offense at wr when you have no qb. whats the point?
youre telling me you put your best player 10-15 yards away from the line of scrimmage huh? genius!

Report: Raiders eying offensive tackles
Posted by Evan Silva on April 23, 2010 5:14 PM ET
According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, the Raiders are eying offensive tackles with the 39th overall pick.
It’s another indication that owner Al Davis is not ready to give up on 2007 No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who recently weighed in at 290 pounds.
In particular, La Canfora says the Raiders are high on Indiana’s Rodger Saffold. Saffold, a four-year starter for the football-challenged Hoosiers, appears to be higher on Davis’ draft board than popular first-round Raiders mock pick Bruce Campbell and Charles Brown, an athletic two-year starter from USC.
Saffold has been projected to to play right tackle, left guard, and possibly left tackle — his college position — at the next level. He was also heavily rumored to Indianapolis in the first round, before the Colts settled on pass rusher Jerry Hughes.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:24 pm
so youre essentially playing him as a lb, thus proving my point. hes playing right in the middle of your d. thats where the best player has to be, and now ours is. thats all im saying here.
kirk was servicable, but nowhere near our best player. and trust me i love the guy,hes been my favorite raider ever since i read a pre-draft article on him in the argus before we picked him in the 3rd that year. hes an awesome person, met him a couple times signed stuff for me, hes awesome. just not that good

^^^^^^^^
Saffold would be a solid pick….more experienced than Campbell and is bigger, stronger and more versatile than Brown.

maybe we should draft a klingon
