Is OT Gaither a Raider?
By Steve Corkran
Friday, July 29th, 2011 at 2:37 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Two local reports say that the Raiders have agreed to terms with offensive tackle Jared Gaither. Not so fast, according to Gaither’s agent.
Gaither’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, just Tweeted that “Jared Gaither has not agreed to contract terms with the Raiders.”
One of the reports said that Gaither has been spotted at the Napa Valley Marriott and that two unnamed sources confirmed he has agreed to terms.
Practice begins in one hour. However, Gaither isn’t allowed to practice until Aug. 4, so he isn’t apt to be in attendance.
The Raiders have been linked to Gaither for the past several days. If he were to sign, it would give the Raiders two mammoth tackles. Jared Veldheer is 6-feet-8 and 340 pounds. Gaither is 6-9 and 340.
Gaither missed all of last season because of a back injury. He started 28 of 33 games from 2007-09 with the Baltimore Ravens.
If Gaither becomes a Raider at some point, it likely closes the door on the likes of Mario Henderson, Khalif Barnes and Langston Walker, unless any of those players is content with a backup role.
The other issue is which side to play Gaither and Veldheer. Gaither’s experience is at left tackle. Veldheer finished the season at left tackle for the Raiders last season.

THE RAIDERS MADE HIM THE MAN HE IS ALONG WITH HIS CHARACHTER HE NEED TO COME BACK.
July 29th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Rather have Waters than Lutui..
July 29th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Gaither
Loper
Wiz
Carlisle
Veldheer
My guess to start the season.

July 29th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
All right Clarence…
Now about those other two predictions.
July 29th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
If true, we’ve got:
LT: Gaither/Veldheer
LG: Loper/Campbell/Barksdale
C: Wiz 2.0
RG: Campbell/Barksdale

Jerry’s blog days are over…we get cockran now..
July 29th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Gaither baby yeah!
July 29th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Gaither would be a welcome edition to a line-in-progress.

If Gaither goes down to injury, move Veldheer to LT and bring up Barksdale or Campbell at RT.

Also, let’s not insert Gaither into the starting lineup quite yet. Remember when Cable went out and got Erik Pears, and we all figured him for a starter? Wrong.

Your not really comparing Erik Pears to Jared Gaither are you?..

Well, the Raiders seem to think so. That’s what they did last season. They moved guys around the line as necessary. When Satele got hurt one game, Veldheer shifted to C and Henderson was the LT.

The slashes were meant to separate potential starters. For instance, LT would be either Gaither or Veldheer. LG would be Loper, or Campbell or Barksdale.
I listed Wiz by himself because everyone knows he’s starting Day One.

If true 9ers and Cowboys aren’t winning a SB so Nnamdi should stay put
July 29th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
It’s 11:59……. Announcements almost here… Nnamdi? Gaither (official)? Miller? Huff?
July 29th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
So if Nnamdi stays, we sign Zmiller and Gaither do the Al Haters show themselves?
July 29th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Who is left in the hunt for Nnamdi?

here’s hoping Clarence was right about three of them

BSPN was saying 80% NYJ, 10% Dallas, 10% other
By my math that now means 50% Dallas, 50% Other.
Who is other?
July 29th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
its go time
July 29th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Alright…official announcements are about to happen.
Nnamdi leaving is a hard choice for him to make…he’s been here, helping the Raiders climb out of the cellar, and we’re THIS CLOSE to being a Playoff team.
Here’s hoping he shuns the Jets!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:03 pm

Some of you have a poor memory. We never got any before game reports with Jerry. His first blog would be game kickoff every Sunday, including afternoon games.
He was always the last one to report anything. It was always posted here by semi pros before Jerry tore away from big mac and large fries.
Steve is gonna kick butt all year long. Just dont expect a blog pimp to start posting before noon, if that.
July 29th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
Going to the cowboys will be a terrible move for Aso. Tell Dallas to call D-Hall and ask him what its like to be the cover corner on the other side of Planet A. Hall’s still having nightmares of Eddie Royal scoring on him….oh Royal just scored another TD on him. Plus didn’t Aso get tired of Rob Ryan’s prevent defense?? come home Aso and bring Miller with you.
July 29th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I’m just glad he’s not going to Jets

Bummer if Asomugha takes Dallas over NYJ. Was looking forward to Raiders-Jets, Week 3 . . . Campbell looks right, left . . . .

If Albert Bigelo Puss the Turd is glad Nnamdi’s not going to the Jets, his mommy must be pleased also.

More reason to slam the door on Jerry and his MR troll
July 29th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
Nnamdi to the NYJets or Dallas??
If Al can come close to affording what those two teams (or a “surprise” team) offers him…I believe Nnamdi stays right here.
I hope I’m right…
July 29th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
With the Jets out of the picture if Nnadi does go to Dal the Raiders better be on the phone with Cromartie
July 29th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
Seriously guys, why would he go to Dallas? Remember, he could care less about money and the only reason he would leave was for a ring. His best shot was with the Jets. He is staying. This has all been a sham from the word go.
July 29th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
now the Cowboys are out?????

Have you actually seen Jared Veldheer?!? No way the guy is 340 lbs.
Maybe you’re thinking of Jared the Subway guy. He mighta weighed in at 3 and a half in those “before” pics…
July 30th, 2011 at 12:00 am
Nnamdi Asomugha aint squat: do the math:
Nnamdi: 8 seasons, 11 INTs, 69 yds returned, 1 TD
Lester: 10 seasons,39 INTs, 572 yds returned,5 TD
Rod W : 17 seasons,71 INTs, 1483yds returned,12TD
Elite of the elites?? Shutdown corner?? Never a game changer, never rode out a winning season: Knat on an elephant’s back; midget on the shoulders of giants.
Nnamdi, good luck with your new dog killing pal; and Eagle fans…..you’ll find out, he aint all that he’s cracked up to be. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
