Raiders visiting with veteran TE Boss (updated)
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 at 6:00 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A player who fit the build and description of free agent tight end Kevin Boss arrived at the Raiders training camp facility toward the tail end of practice Wednesday. When asked about the team’s interest in Boss, Raiders coach Hue Jackson confirmed that they are checking into signing the former New York Giants starter.
Boss’ arrival comes a little more than 24 hours after the Raiders lost starting tight end Zach Miller to the Seattle Seahawks. Third-year player Brandon Myers is the only tight end on Oakland’s roster with any receptions in the NFL, and he has only 16 for 99 yards.
“We’ll work him out and see what he can do,” Jackson said of Boss.
Boss worked out for Raiders coaches after practice and then departed the facility without speaking with the media.
A quick scan of Boss’ bio shows that he catches the ball on a consistent basis, makes plays and knows how to find the end zone. He caught 119 passes for 1,600 yards and 18 touchdowns in 58 games for the Giants the past four seasons.
Jackson said Raiders defensive line coach Mike Waufle “has a lot of glowing things to say about” Boss from their days together with the New York Giants. Boss was a member of the Giants Super Bowl winning team, and he averages 13.4 yards per reception.
Richard Gordon, David Ausberry and Kevin Brock are the only other tight ends on Oakland’s roster besides Myers. Gordon and Ausberry are rookies.
Myers said he has waited for this opportunity and that he is poised to make the most of Miller’s departure.
“I’m ready to step in and compete for a job,” Myers said. “That’s everyone’s goal is to be able to compete for a job. I’m excited. I just got to earn the trust of the coaches and go out there and perform.”
Jackson cautioned not to make too much of the Raiders tight end situation so early in camp.
“Are we still searching, turning over every rock to find someone to help us keep improving? Yes, we are,” Jackson said. “The young guys are doing a good job. Richard Gordon, Ausberry, Myers, Brock; those guys are working hard. I feel good about them, but when you have a guy who was there, who was a very good presence, obviously we’ll look to get better at that position.”

I said it before and I’ll say it again… this is going to be the 3rd season in a row where DHB will be outplayed by a late-round pick.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Prediction: B@uce in the lot sporting a Boss jersey!!! lol
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Boss will be a good pick up for us. He will be cheaper then Miller and have less Head Injury Woes.

Put me down for a second on that. I’d love to be wrong about this but I doubt it…

You Naps, if I ever see your broke ass down in San Diego, you won’t be heading back to Lompoc. I will kick your little ass six ways to Sunday. Stay the f*ck out of my town, boy.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Davis will make room for Boss. Plenty of cutable players
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:06 pm
LOL LOMPOC
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:07 pm
areas of concern:
TE
CB
WR
need vets in all area in that order
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:08 pm
he is a much better run blocker than miller and scores more tds. best part is he will cost a lot less. Campbell is familiar having played against him while with the foreskins
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:09 pm
TE- hopefully Boss very soon
CB- make a play for asante
WR- mason(can teach how to run routes and catch with HANDS)
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:10 pm
CB- make a play for asante
*********
No thank you, strictly zone coverage CB. Would get torched in our scheme.

If he’s better, why could he cost less?
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:12 pm
By all accounts Chaz has been pretty solid.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Chaz has looked very impressive so far, according to all reports from camp. And it’s not like he’s making huge money. Dude’s a 7th round pick who contributes whenever he’s on the field. As long as he stays healthy, he should stay.
DHB and Miller need to prove their worth, though.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:13 pm
He will sign, we are the only team in need of a starting TE…. Long live AL DAVIS
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:13 pm
With all due respect to Myers, Gordon and Ausberry, WE NEED BOSS. NOW.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:14 pm
If he’s better, why could he cost less?
*******************
Less hype around him, more realistic contract demands.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:14 pm
kk,
he is a better blocker, better all around player? only time will tell.
Miller was way over paid, inflated skewed stat line playing with no wr’s. he was a clean glass next to dirty glasses, makes him look better than he really is.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Bcz24 fair enough, any CB suggestions
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:15 pm
drafting moore, and ford did put chaz on notice, stay healthy or else.
We have always thought he would a great player if he stays on the field. im pullling for him
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Less hype around him, more realistic contract demands.
————————————-
Why would the better tight end, with a SB ring, have less hype than Z Miller?
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:16 pm
alot more restructuring gonna happen now and Boss is taller than Miller; can’t outjump him in endzone
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:17 pm
PlunkHOF, I suspect you don’t need the hep but call me from out in Verdi, we gotchyo back.
Sign BOSS and Floyd!
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:18 pm
San Diego? ha ha. It’s as gay as san francisco. I’ll admit I kind of respect oakland because they have some of the hardest rappers ever like mc hammer but san diego is where men go to bone each other at the beach.

August 3rd, 2011 at 6:19 pm
There rumors Braylen Edwards is visiting West Coast teams, I think DHB might be in trouble
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:20 pm
if Raiders sign Boss and HuJack puts together a creative offensive scheme like i think he will, Raiders just might be darn near unstoppable on offense
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 pm
Edwards is visiting the 49ers. He’s going to team up with Crabtree and Ginn for an all-diva WR corps.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 pm
san diego is where steve garvey and dan fouts spoon on the beach.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 pm
DHB ain’t going anywhere. If he were released, that would open Al Davis up to criticism. That aint gonna happen.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Boss is in the building now get floyd and waters a visit
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:23 pm
It would be a nice pick up if we get big boss. Love the way he runs over the db’s! Better run blocker then miller also. Let’s go raiders! Can’t wait till we play the Seachunks and Mitchell lays out miller with a highlight hit!!

August 3rd, 2011 at 6:28 pm
I’m going to be honest with the Miller thing, he did what he could for us and at times seem to be the only one doing anything. We appreciate that but don’t get it twisted, your wearing a different jersey now, come across the middle and your going to get busted up…

Trust me, after the proclamation of DHB readying himself to enter the list of great Raiders WR’s, DHB will AT THE LEAST get the same scholarship ride Sam Williams has gotten, AT THE LEAST. Love it or hate, DHB will retire a Raider. The quicker they teach him how to play DB, the quicker theyll get somethin out of him.

stop thinking of it like u have to replace one guy w/ another. look at it like this:
running game–#2 last year. should be very good again. lost gallery, a pretty good G, but Loper was a find. a journeyman who ended up being nearly as good as gallery. replacing satele w/ wiz is an upgrade. veldheer in his 2nd year, star on the rise. carlisle a solid vet. walker ok but slow. barnes or heyer fine. added jones, an explosive reggie bush-type. mcfadden could be huge this year.
passing game–quicker RT should help. campbell in 2nd year for 1st time ever. played well in 2nd half. make-or-break year for him but i sense he could be good. wr’s have talent. it’s their time. miller was a possession guy only. a good one but his #’s were inflated due to poor qb play/young wr’s. lots of multi-wr sets, great rb’s out of the backfield. mcfadden, reece, jones. al saunders/hue jackson offense. could be a dramatic improvement.
run defense–front four looking like dominant. LB’s key. mcclain’s improvement huge. not sure about groves but goethel/FA could be answer. branch/miller/huff good supporting safeties. again, LB’s the key here.
pass defense–lots of sacks. #2 in nfl last year by 1. could be better this year. lb coverage good. branch is star. huff arrived last year. don’t discount him. he’s there now. routt too. he’s a player now. 4 1st or 2nd yr. CB’s to fill one spot. maybe a FA vet.
so, basically, we might need aLB and a CB.

August 3rd, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Boss, better in-line blocker than Miller and an underrated pass catcher. Sounds like one more piece of a bully offense Hue is trying to build. But Boss won’t come cheap! Just sign the guy, get it over with so he can get into camp tomorrow and start learning the playbook. Sooner rather than latter !
Go Raiders!

Reality check for naps. I live in a state that has some racist ass skinheads and I am a Mexican American born in salinas califas raised in Monterey county for twenty eight years and moved out to give my family a better life. I have fought numerous times with the skinheads and never lost. I think it’s sad to hear that everyday there is people killing each other same race and or color for some stupid ass street gang that don’t belong to them it belongs to the state. So don’t sit there and say ima square or a fake cuz I’ve done more and lived more than you will ever do. I live and breath raided!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Im less concerned with who we didnt sign than I am excited about how hard Lamarr Houston is going to bring it this year. This is one of the main aspects of NFL football that I can not wait to see this year. Lamarr Houston eating QBs for lunch this season. If this idea alone doesnt excite you as a Raiders fan, you might be dead. Houston is going to wreak havoc next year.

HuJack and Al Saunders must be chompin’ at the bit to get Boss signed and create special packages for him on offense
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Boss will be a great pickup, we dont need a 1000 yard 80 catches a season t.e. what we need is our w.r. to catch some fn balls and j.c. to get it to them. a catch here and there good blocking for the r.bs is all we need.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Only thing that worries me is our cap situation. Signing BiG Boss Man is a must but who will Oak cut?

If they were gonna cut him, they would have before the 7.5 roster bonus would have counted against the cap. Al CHOSE to take DHB’s cap hit. Like it or not, we’re stuck with dude. Only thing I ask is that he take up Jacoby Fords challenge to race him. I saw a video where Ford said no one on the team wanted to race him cause hes too fast. My money is on Ford, but I still wanna see the race. At least I can get some form of entertainment from DHB.

YESSSS! I’m from Jersey, surrounded by Giants propaganda. This guy is the real deal!!! Look at the numbers he put up as the 3rd option, almost the same as Miller. That’s why he has less hype and should cost less. Faster and tougher!!!

Thats one crazy thing, Miller is actually faster, but always looked so slow. Boss appears to play “quicker” than Miller. I remember Miller “allegedly” ran a 4.53 at his pro day and I was thinking thats impossible. Even that ONE long TD he had against the Eagles, he looked like he was running in molasses. Just never appeared as if he was playing fast.

Miller barely cracked a 5 flat forty!
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:26 pm
DHB needs to restructure his deal to free up cap space or get cut…. getting paid 1st rd money for a blocking WR that catches maybe 2 passes every other game doesnt make sense. Hell cut him and go after Floyd at least we know he catches the ball consistently.

If Raiders don’t sign Boss I say we kidnap the old man or at least get him a proper accountant.

Hoping to wake up and hear Boss signed with us… Keep the KoolAid flowin boys
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Well, being a Raiders fans we should know the difference between straight line speed and been agile and quick. That’s what I mean by faster. But there is no doubt that he is tougher(healthier).
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Being not been. Sorry
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Anyone see DHB being held out of practice for a contract restructure or possible trade? He said maybe its a toothache so obviously hes not really hurt. Idk who would want him tho so maybe I’m reading too much into it
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Bcz24 agreed my cup is already filled with fresh koolaid i do hope we sign boss. And i like what i am hearing from D.Moore

AZR8DR,
I don’t think dhb has any trade value but I wish he did
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Well Boss Left the Training Facility man I sure hope we sign him
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Jcampbell sounds excited about his receivers… Good to have a qb confident in his wr’s
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Ok thanks. Gonna have to go with what we got
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:46 pm
“Touch down Raiiiidders. Boss Fires up the fans!” No pun intended
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:46 pm
theres nothin in FA for a CB now but wait for some cuts from other teams… great way to get a vet
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:48 pm

only people worth a look
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Boss seems like a good fit with this offense.
Good run blocker with good hands and can get open.
The hype always seems off target with the Raiders signings so, I won’t go as far as to expect anything.
Chaz, Ford, Moore & Boss may be effective enough with a 2500 yd combined rush game

For Kevin Boss to replace Zach Miller in Oakland, the Raiders will have to clear enough cap room to outbid the Giants. A challenge
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Time to trim the fat………..

August 3rd, 2011 at 9:17 pm
How much is dhb getting paid? sebas and lechler need to restructure their contacts. Cut eugeen maybe even copper since I think he’ll be beat out in training camp. Kelly, semore, huff, route all proved their worth last year, had to pay them!
August 4th, 2011 at 10:00 am
SURE just like they have almost finalized a deal for MILLER PR STUNT!! BOSS isn’t wanted anywhere.GO CHARGERS!!!
