Report: Raiders meeting with veteran CB
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, March 15th, 2012 at 11:29 am in Oakland Raiders.
Former St. Louis Rams cornerback Ron Bartell is scheduled to visit the Raiders today, according to an ESPN.com report.
Bartell, 30, spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Rams, where he started 65 games. However, he played in only one game last season because of an injury.
The Raiders are in need of help at cornerback in light of the release of No. 1 cornerback Stanford Routt last month. As of now, second-year players DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa are the projected starters, unless defensive coordinator Jason Tarver decides to follow through with the plan to convert Michael Huff from free safety to cornerback.
The Raiders have yet to meet with any players since free agency started Tuesday. They supposedly intend to meet with Houston Texans guard Mike Brisiel, as well, though that hasn’t been confirmed.
In other news, the 49ers are set to sign former Raiders special team standout Rock Cartwright, as long as he passes his physical.
Cartwright made it clear that he wanted to return to the Raiders for a third season. It appears as if the Raiders had little, if any, interest in continuing the marriage.

I wonder who our big trade aqqusition will be in 2013?
I’m going by the 2 year rule…
05′ Moss
07′ Hall
09′ Seymour
11′ Palmer
I was going to disregard the 2 year rule when Al passed, but Hue kept the tradtion alive!
What do you have in store for the silver & black Big Reg

He was a FA.

March 15th, 2012 at 11:36 am
On Bartell: “He is known for his cover skills, but he is not a real interception threat. He has eight interceptions in his career.”
—
Kinda sounds like a description that fit a guy named Nnamdi. If I recall, he was actually pretty good ….
Looking at his stats that last few years I see two other Nnamdi-esque things as well. He averages only about one pass defended per game and he has a ton of tackles, most of them solo. That means that either he’s a real tight cover corner that QBs don’t like to throw at and he’s an very good tackling CB in run support, OR it could mean that he lets the WRs catch everything in front of him and then makes the sure tackle.
This article is a little old, but note that at the end of the 08-09 season, in a detailed breakdown this author had Bartell rated as the #7 overall CB in the league: http://www.operationsports.com/forums/pro-football/289299-top-50-cbs-nfl.html

If CArtwright played WR or DB Reg would probably have brought him back but we can’t have 4 RB’s & 2 FB’s on the team with one RB just playing ST’s. Thanks for a good 2 years of service Rock!

Has everyone forgotten about Underwood? He started opposite Woodson for 2 years in GB before his troubles. Every story i read about our corners talks about Van Dyke (who DA will prbably cut during camp cause he wont tackle) and Chekwa (may be something some day) as starters.

Breaking down the Raiders roster as of right now:
QB:
Carson Palmer
Terrelle Pryor
Need–1 QB
RB
Darren McFadden
Taiwan Jones
Need–1 RB
FB
Marcel Reece
Manase Tonga
WR
Denarius Moore
Darrius Heyward-Bey
Jacoby Ford
Louis Murphy
Need–1, maybe 2 WR
TE
Brandon Myers
David Ausberry
Richard Gordon
OL
Jared Veldheer
Stefen Wisniewski
Bruce Campbell
Joseph Barksdale
Need: center/LG depending on where Wiz plays, starting/backup RG and RT. Probably 5 more OL
DL:
Tommy Kelly
Richard Seymour
Lamarr Houston
Desmond Bryant
Matt Shaughnessy
Need: 3 more DL
LB
Rolando McClain
Aaron Curry
Need: 4 more LBs since Wimbley is likely to go
S
Michael Huff
Mike Mitchell
Tyvon Branch
Need–1 backup FS
CB
Demarcus Van Dyke

Need–2 starting caliber CBs and one, perhaps 2 backup
Special teams: Lechler, Seabass, Condo
By my count that’s 32 players, leaving 21 spots that need filling. Lots of work to do.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:46 am
with Rock & Boss gone, who is Lechler gonna throw to on fake punts?
Taiwan Jones & David Ausberry?
solid. Go Raiders!

I wouldn’t say no picks. With the FA compensation, they’ll have a good 7 or 8 picks in the lower rounds when all is said and done. More if they trade the 3rd/4th rounders down for quantity.
As for cheap, you don’t get cheap players in the draft in rounds above 3 anyway. With the cap as it is, if they had their middle of the 1st pick, what would that cost them against the cap to sign this year? They’d probably need to trade it down anyway just for cap reasons. Not that it’s ever good to be without a 1st, but if there has to be a year to not have it, this is a good one given the current cap hell to deal with for this fiscal rebuilding season.

Rock Cartwright just signed with the ‘niners. I thought we were trying to keep players that love the game. Not a good move.
March 15th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Ron Bartell is a decent pickup he was a BallHawk in st.louis and minus his injury he can be a good pick up for us
March 15th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
I don’t see where Walton was included in the deal Duece.
I see Kapono and a 1st rd pick.
March 15th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
We could sign osgood to replace cartwright for vet minimum
March 15th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
#20–not over-reacting, just wondering

I too wish Cartwright luck although I wish he hadn’t gone to my least fav team.

But it was time to jam, old fella. Just follow Krappy to the pasture
Grabbing Sessions for Walton? The genius of Kupchak continues, big ups to to dah classic Showtime baller.

Session & Hill both under 25, will be straight up ballin’ with Bynum for years.

None of you Junior GM’s are saying anything about Kendall Langford. Langford was on Al Davis’s radar before Parcells stepped in and got him. Good run stuffing DE. Somewhere we certainly need some depth.

You bring up some good points but its a win for the niners. We have a brand new staff, a First year Head Coach, First year OC, First year GM and a ton of young players. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to spend a little to keep a vet who can calm and lead the younger players thru a difficult rebuilding. Rock wanted to be a Raider, sometimes to build a winner you have to look past the spreadsheet and the cap numbers and bring in (or keep) players that have the qualities that you want on your team. Rock goes to the niners to handle Moss. The niners got over on us on this one.

I guess, RegMac is pulling all the stops.
I mean first he brings in a Olineman, no one has ever heard of, who had a broken leg last season, and now a CB that’s even worst than what the Raiders just got rid off, who also had a major injury.
Way to go Reg, you’ve just instilled more hope for next year. Maybe RegMac is still asleep, can somebody please wake him up? pronto. Before all the good players are gone somewhere else.

Ok. Reggie is bringing in some guys for a “visit” so there’s interest on his part.
Let’s see him be the the GM he is being hyped to be and make it happen.

So far? NADA.

The Question was if he’s better than McRoberts?..not Murphy.
Jordan Hill offers you no upside at all.
The Knicks traded him, let that sink in. The team most desperate for talent.

Like a lot of us said before FA began… you can’t expect REggie to sign big dollar contracts when he’s been trying to do nothing but dump them since he got here. The biggest names I expected to be mentioned in the same breath as the Raiders are Porter(NO) and Okoye(Chi). But even they are unlikely.

Mark, because hill is cheaper than beasely…..just money not championships. Even the sessions trade is about money…he is going to opt out and the lakers will not be obligated to him next year.
Bad signs if u are a lakers fan. Spent 2 first rounders so Jim buss can save some cash in the coming years.
March 15th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Cap issues? Money issues?
According to my calculations, that has never been a problem before. There are multiple ways to be creative with free agent signings, unless of course, and I hope I’m wrong, Markie is being el cheapo and is pulling the rein hard on RegMac.
Then again, RegMac couldn’t be this inept, now could he?

Yeah, sometimes you have to keep it movin’.
I haven’t been following Jordan Hill as closely as Deuce has apparently. I know that Murphy and McRambis haven’t quite panned out in the rotation and we needed an upgrade there. I know Blake is better than Fisher.

Cap issues? Money issues?
According to my calculations, that has never been a problem before. There are multiple ways to be creative with free agent signings, unless of course, and I hope I’m wrong, Markie is being el cheapo and is pulling the rein hard on RegMac.
Then again, RegMac couldn’t be this inept, now could he?

Is he not supposed to be a guy who has an ability to influence guys to come here? Or is that not supposed to be part of the deal?
I’m not talking Mario W. or even Finnegan or Manningham or…..the list goes on and on but my point is can he get ANYBODY WORTHWHILE?
They don’t have to be high priced guys. ANYBODY DECENT.
He also got Curry to restructure…looks like a 2 yrs. for 1 deal. Cool.

Don’t know about that….but I want us in the playoffs this year.
I think that we should have been there. And with only a change in DC we would’ve been there.
Now, we’re changing a lot. But, I’m looking at this team and it’s looking a lot worse than last year. I see is regressing at the rate we’re going.

IDK McBob’s hustle covers a lot of what he lacks in overall talent.
Murhpy can shoot better..
————————————————————-
McRambis isn’t a good fit since he refuses to put up a shot. Does he have any other shot other than the lob dunk?
Can he do anything else but foul on D?
Murphy is literally shooting airballs and has ZERO D.
Jordan Hill can give us exactly what he is doing in Houston and would be better than both of these guys.
March 15th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
At least we could resign some of our players that aren’t too expensive. Stelle? Carlisle? Cartwright? Good players, not expensive.
Maybe some of our injured players we’re bringing could be signed to replace some of the guys we cut…and hope the injuries are healed fully. At least that would be some sort of filling in of the holes. Let’s strike quickly on the people we want on the middle-to-lower price range. Let’s do SOMETHING!

You’re ready to cut any non productive Raider at the drop of a dime to get in cap compliance, but it’s a problem when the Lakers do it?
March 15th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
We gotta add something as of right now we’re letting go players that wanted to play for us and were pretty solid.
We are right now:
Missing 2 CBs (unless Underwood is better than I think – I just don’t know enough about him).
Missing 3 OL starters (C,RG,RT). Could probably get back our C and RG pretty cheap, and both could fit in the ZBs.
Missing 1 LB and a lot of depth.
Missing 1 RB (Hillis would’ve been great) who can fill in when Mc Fadden isn’t playing.
Main areas of need.

I get that the GB system Reggie brings with him is what were going for here. Who can argue with it? Since 94 they had only 2 losing seasons, but the team has never been devoid of it’s share of star players.
Never had to get a QB cuz u had ironman Favre in there.
They did however have Reggie White, who at the time was the biggest FA aquisition in history…or close.
W/O Reggie White, Packers don’t win a SB.
Now Porter and these other guys he supposedly has interest in are basically “mid level” guys that can help the team and now that Reggie is on record as showing interest in them, let’s see him rope ‘em in.
It looks like he’s losing his first big battle…with Wimbley. Can’t close that deal. Yeah, that’s on Wimbley too, but all the same…
I’m not asking for superstars here. Not right now. We don’t have the $ and i can’t fault Reggie for that.

Contract “for life” would require two contracts, league approval
Posted by Mike Florio on March 15, 2012, 3:22 PM EDT
Getty Images
Titans owner Bud Adams has offered Peyton Manning a contract “for life.” As crazy as it sounds in the salary-cap era, it can happen.
Per a source with knowledge of the league’s procedures, Manning and the Titans would be required to sign two contracts: one for the work as player, and one for the job as a non-player. The second job would have to be a “real job,” and the wages for the second job would have to represent fair market value. Manning would have to actually perform the duties of the job after his playing career ends.
Also, the entire arrangement would require league approval.
There would be no cap charge during Manning’s playing career. However, if the second contract pays higher than fair market value or if Manning doesn’t perform the services required, the Titans would face salary cap charges and other penalties for circumventing the cap, including fines and possible loss of draft choices.
To the extent that the contract “for life” would entail purchasing a portion of the team, there would be salary cap implications. Before getting to that point, the transaction would have to be approved by a vote of the 32 owners.
It’s unknown whether Adams would attempt to convey minority ownership of the Titans to Manning.

Seymour Bush Says:
The Whiners have a good young team that is close to winning it all. They feel they can bring in some solid vets at key positions like Randy Moss, and Cartright to fix a couple of holes.
We, on the other hand, need to build a good young team. Hence us jettisoning vets especially part time special teamers at $800 grand a year.
======================================================
You bring up some good points but its a win for the niners. We have a brand new staff, a First year Head Coach, First year OC, First year GM and a ton of young players. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to spend a little to keep a vet who can calm and lead the younger players thru a difficult rebuilding. Rock wanted to be a Raider, sometimes to build a winner you have to look past the spreadsheet and the cap numbers and bring in (or keep) players that have the qualities that you want on your team. Rock goes to the niners to handle Moss. The niners got over on us on this one.
==============
Nah, he’d play for pretty much vet minimum. No real cap hit. Woudl’ve been cheap and easy to keep. Dont’ get exactly what Reggie is trying to do here. I want our team to IMPROVE next year. What else is there to go for?
============================================
Don’t get me wrong, I like Rock Cartwright and always have. It’s just he was an $800,000 hit last year, and that is for basically a special teams guy. The Raiders think they can get their position players who play ST’s to pick up the slack and save the $$$. Just the way it is right now.

I understand what you’re saying. I want to fkn win now too.
But…Raiders offense will hopefully remain intact besides the loss M.Bush. K Boss? Still pretty good. Just need a back up QB and a little help with depth on the O-Line, (Raiders O-line was ranked like 7th in the league for sacks allowed?) Not bad. Raiders can still make a good run for some post season play.
Defensively, the Raiders may or may not regress.
Raiders cut the most penalized player in the NFL who was making what? 10 mil a year. To me that is not regressing, that is good management.
Cutting the fat and replacing them with low dollar non-household names that want to play football will set the Raiders up for next year.

Ok, we see Dakota’s dug in.
Doesn’t like Buss Jr or Mike Brown, so here comes the propoganda.
++++++++++++++++
It is not propaganda Jhill…..just think hard for a minute. Now, I know we got better today at the point guard position, but what did we really gain?
First, we can all agree Sessions is an upgrade at PG, and losing Fisher was not a big deal.
However, Sessions is widely expected to opt out of his contract and become a free agent. The Lakers can try and re-sign him, but do you believe for one minute, considering the dollar for dollar luxuary cap implications, that the Lakers would do that for a player like Sessions? Pay him his $5-7 million and pay the NBA another $5-7 million for the right to keep Sessions? Lol come on man, you know that is not going to happen. 26 game rental player is what he is.
The Lakers also rejected a Beasely deal due to money concerns earlier this year, and apparently once again. Instead, they chose to send Fisher and his player option for next season to Houston for a stiff in Hill, who’s contract is not guaranteed next year.
So what did the Lakers really do today? They dropped Fisher’s $3.4 million and Walton’s $6.1 million and the several million they would have to pay in guaranteed contracts for the two 1st round picks they shipped out and are only obligated to pay Eyenga’s (or whatever the fk his name is) little over $1 million dollar salary next season. Add in the saved tax dollars of nearly $6 million, and the Lakers just took a big salary dump.
Oh, and by the way, they sat on the oh so great $8.9 million dollar trade exemption from Dallas too.
So what did we get for Odom? Zilch. No pick, no player from the trade exemption…..just a 26 game rental of Jordan Hill.
Add in the Odom salary savings (about $17 million) and man, didn’t Jim Buss come out spending less money? About $30 million in savings according to my rough math…..Oh, yeah, he is happy.
So, we jettisoned two first round picks, for a couple of rental players in Sessions and Hill, and one scrub who we are obligated to next year….and put a bunch of money back into Jim Buss’ pockets.
Still feel great about these moves?

Watch and see, when the Lakers let Sessions walk next year, you will all be sitting around saying, “what the hell did we gain out of all those picks and trade exemptions and trade of Odom again? Oh yeah…..some dude who we can’t even spell his nmae sitting at the end of the 2012-2013 bench lol.
They sat on the Farmar trade exemption. They sat on the Odom one. They dumped a bunch of salary for rental players, and got rid of draft picks who could have put some youth in our team, and dumped the 6th man of the years…..all so we could rent Sessions, Hill and I guess sign McRoberts and Murphy?
Wake up fellas…..

288. Salery over talent. But not necessarily over winning. Beasley doesnt play much d. And our offense will be better with the addition of sessions alone.. It was mosty about money.. But its not like we dont have enough talent to win..

Beasley can play D with the best, when he wants. Thats the problem he’s never had anyone motivate him.
Beasley can get 20 & 10 every night if he had the minutes. 3.4 million dollars doesnt keep anyone from turning that down.

Must have been hard for Wimbley to sign that contract, what with him falling on the floor laughing his @zz off at how rediculous it was.
I hate the word “obviously” now…Whenever D. Allen or a semi-pro uses it here I want to beat them like a baby seal.

Barnes can stay, so long as he is a backup and only in on obvious Penalty downs.
Satele, can stay as a 2nd stringer.

With new cba rules the lakers had to dump salary. Besides luxury tax teams over the cap can’t trade or sign any free agents except for minimum. No mid level exception. Plus not having to watch fisher try to play d is a good thing. The only people that should be pissed is Walton and kapono for losing their courtside lakers seats
March 15th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
“Cap issues? Money issues?
“According to my calculations, that has never been a problem before. There are multiple ways to be creative with free agent signings, unless of course, and I hope I’m wrong, Markie is being el cheapo and is pulling the rein hard on RegMac.”
A lot of this is not just money, it’s message-sending: “You don’t produce, don’t count on the Raiders being interested in you. You aren’t a game-changer, Raiders don’t pay you game-changer money. You think you can sign and be in the starting line-up each and every week, think again.”
New administration and teacher are in class. The team is stronger than any of its individual parts when each individual wants to be part of something bigger than himself.
March 15th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Lowdown, I’d keep Satele (unless we can find an upgrade) and keep Wiz at Guard. Those 3 are pretty solid. And continuity as a group will make them even better.

Lol, you really think Sessions will put this team over the top? He does improve our PG spot, but that isn’t enough. Had we chosen to bring in Beasely too by using the pick and the trade exemption, which Minny would have done in a heartbeat, then we could start talking rings.
Instead, the Lakers chose to save money with the Fisher trade…..
March 15th, 2012 at 2:28 pm

Even with those savings they are still over the cap….so no stud will be coming to LA any time soon.

Cap issues? Money issues?
According to my calculations, that has never been a problem before. There are multiple ways to be creative with free agent signings, unless of course, and I hope I’m wrong, Markie is being el cheapo and is pulling the rein hard on RegMac.
Then again, RegMac couldn’t be this inept, now could he?
—-
The way to get there creatively, in the most typical case where you can’t get the player to take less money, is to use short term cap friendliness for long term cap pain. Deferred cap hits via long term deals with large bonuses and low first season salaries.
The problem is that this just defers the pain, it doesn’t make it go away. It’s like using one credit card to pay down the balance on another.
Through so many years of this creative deferment, there are a lot of very bad contracts on this team. Just to get under the cap without having to cut everyone with a large number, they’ve gone ahead and done more deferment tricks on Seymour, Huff, Palmer, etc. It would be really stupid to go out and sign bigger name FAs this season with backloaded deals that will just have to be cut next year with even more accelerated hits.
What Reggie is doing is wisely using 2012 as a cap rebuilding year to do away with a lot of the deferred pain for the next several years. It will make the team less competitive this year, but will open doors in the future years that are otherwise already closed. Timing wise, what better season to sacrifice than one in which you have most of the front office and the coaching staff as rookies, where their learning curve will likely cost games anyway? Might as well pay as much off in one season as possible.

Hey, fair warning. I am just delving deeper into the truth….you guys want to ignore the signs, it is okay with me.
Don’t come crying to me as the Lakers continue the salary purge and march towards mediocrity crying poor due to the luxury tax, while at the same time lining their pockets with that huge TV deal.
They tried it once before, but first Kobe, then the season ticket holders revolted, and they were forced to spend some cash to win some rings…..but they are slinking back into their old habits….

Yep, because with Bynum and Gasol rebounding is what this team really needs isn’t it? We don’t need a scorer like Beasely lol! We need more boards!

According to the Denver Post, the Broncos remain the “leaders in the clubhouse” for free agent Peyton Manning.
The Post’s Mike Klis didn’t cite any sources, but made the declaration just the same. Meanwhile, TitanInsider’s Terry McCormick has been told the Titans are “right in the thick” of the race with one other team, “believed to be the Broncos.” We’ll believe Manning has a favorite once the decision is announced.

I know it isn’t his fault for having t-rex arms, and no one on the wonderful scouting staff of the Raiders checking that out….but still….I hate him. Every time I look at him I think of what other players we could have had and I get fkn pissed!
Yes, I am very angry today….lol

Boston doesn’t want him back, he’d old and tired.

If you think today’s salary dump helps with that….you would be mistaken:
Under the 2011 CBA, the amount of the MLE and its duration depend on the team’s cap status. The MLE is now $5 million for a duration of four years for teams that are over the cap either before or after the signing, but did not pay luxury tax in the previous season. Teams without cap room that paid tax in the previous season have an MLE of $3 million with a three-year duration. Teams with cap room, previously ineligible for the MLE, have a new MLE of $2.5 million with a two-year duration. The MLE is frozen at the stated levels through the 2012–13 season, after which it increases by 3% per season.[6]

Hard to believe anybody could be more clueless than Bresnehan. Just getting rid of that clown is addition by subtraction.
We obviously need to plug a few holes, but I think our defense got better the minute Bres left the facility for good.

E. Teach i agree.
With the addition of another vet corner, a few LBers, and possibly a DE, i think we’ll be all right until 2013 when we have more $ and picks.
I like the combo of Allen and Tarver. Allen stating that he likes an aggressive D and Tarver being the X and O guy. They’ll be playing sharper, smarter and more aggressive.
The D was boring and down right pathetic last year. No where to go but up for this unit!

Yeah, I’m not too worried about RM sitting on his hands right now. If you look at who’s still out there, it seems like a lot of teams are waiting.
Briesel and Bartell are solid looks for us, given the new fiscal responsibilty that RM is bringing to Oakland. The big money guys will get their paydays, then the real free agency for us will begin.
Reggie is getting the financial house in order. We’re going to have to create room to sign some people next year (ours included), which seems to be lost in the discussion sometimes. This wasn’t going to be a year where we spend a lot of money anyway, and I’d rather bite the bullet for a year than prolong the pain.
If Bartell is healthy, he’s a starter for us. Same with Briesel. Everyone keeps talking about McKenzie’s ability to find the hidden gems; well, here we go.
March 15th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Nothing new yet, huh?
March 15th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
McKenzie comes from the Packer mold. Green Bay rarely made a big aquisition in free agency. The team was built through the draft. Give him some time.

Maybe Underwood or DVD can be the slot corner.
If they are really serious about getting finances in order long-term they need to cut Wimbley. I do not think merely waiting will change his mind.

Ron Paul has some good ideas but he is naive on foreign policy. He thinks its ok if Iran gets a bomb and that MAD will work with them like the Soviets. He even denies the fact that they are close on a bomb. The problem is the leadership there has a death culture which is very different than what the Soviets had. To not recognize this is the mark of someone that is too tied to their idealogy and not willing to be pragmatic and understand the real perils of extreme forms of Isalam. Like oil and water – radical Islam and nuck bombs don’t mix.

Bartell, 30, and Porter, 25, have far more starting experience than any of the cornerbacks on the Raiders roster. Bartell started 65 games during his seven seasons with the St. Louis Rams, Porter 39 in his four seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

March 15th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
I think Rock was cut, is because his only value is special teams.
Doesn’t compete for any regular position.
March 15th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Rock is replaceable. Time for new talent.

I’d love for us to sign Aaron Ross to play opposite of Huff. Possibly David Hawthorne or even Leroy Hill. Cut Kamerion Wimberly already!!!! Let’s get some young, hungry players in here to compete!!!!

Osgood would be a good signing. Special teams ace … upgrade over Rock in terms of on-field production. Could be an emergency 5th or 6th receiver. Minimum deal.

I think it would be hilarious if Bud Adams gave Manning his “contract for life” and 50 mill. GUARANTEED money and then find out Manning can’t play cuz he reinjured his neck on the first play from scrimmage in pre-season.

Bartell is a calculated gamble. High risk due to serious injury high reward if it works. If the doctors pass him and the price is right, I say go for it.
Allen knows Porter, ask Allen what he’s worth.
Contracts can be structured to get players signed regardless of this year’s cap space. Cuts sometimes make this years cap tighter but avoid guaranteed future payouts to overpaid scholarship players and thus we can sign value players – this year. Pay for production use pay as incentive produce. Reggie Mac’s cuts look excessive only to Raider fans not used to sensible personnel/salary decisions. Look at the cuts other teams make. Reggie Mac’s cuts are no-brainers so far.
Skeptical of Reggie Mac’s / Allen’s ability to lure players, Mark Davis being cheap etc. – fine, lets be skeptical until they prove themselves. Reggie Mac has solid background; in a few years we’ll see what he can do here. Hard to believe it will be worse than the last 10
Re: OL good last year but although sacks low penalties high. Bookend RT key, Winston may be too expensive with all our needs on D but I hope they talk to him.
Don’t hate on Khalif Barnes so much, he gave us a pretty good year at RT. The tackle market is pretty thin. Interior linemen easier and cheaper to get. Heyer is not a zone blocking guy, and there is some question whether Barksdale is best suited for ZB
Wimbley will be gone or restructured shortly before his whopping guarantees kick in. Can’t you wait till tomorrow? Waiting gives Reggie Mac a little leverage; but this is a business deal for both sides so don’t expect Wimbley to give back Al’s gift back. 11.5 million a year, more than any FA signee but Mario and maybe one other? Wimbley’s good — but he’s worth about half what Al signed him for–Compare to FA signees

Twocents,
I’m an American (born American and not naturalized), but I was born abroad. I had the pleasure of seeing exactly how much influence we have on other countries, and how we manipulate and dictate their decisions for our own benefit. Most Americans live in a bubble and don’t realize what is going on. The local media is not going to inform us. I don’t really care about all that crap. I just want us to spend our money on free health and free upper level education before we give aid, spend money to gain more power, spend so much on military, etc…
Do we really need F22s. What is wrong with our F15s , F18s, etc…?

Raider O, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you wanted to spend money on helping people.
Spend your money locally, in your community, among the people you know.
Never give any money to the monkeys that don’t have a clue.

Al,
I agree that Routt was our best CB, but two avg CBs with avg salaries can do just as good (if not better), Less penalties, and we can have depth at the position too.

Hendu,
I do my best not to get involved, but sometimes I can’t help myself especially on slow days like today.
We are talking to CBs Bartell and T Porter. I rather have T Porter over Bartell and Trufant (Aaron Curry is trying to recruit him).
My realistic FA wish list:
1- CB T Porter
2- WLB Leroy Hill or Wesley Woodyard
3- C Satele
4- RT E Winston (I don’t think we can afford him)

I wonder who our big trade aqqusition will be in 2013?
I’m going by the 2 year rule…
05′ Moss
07′ Hall
09′ Seymour
11′ Palmer
I was going to disregard the 2 year rule when Al passed, but Hue kept the tradtion alive!
What do you have in store for the silver & black Big Reg
================================
Two guys to look for are Ron Brace and or Patrick Chung of the Patriots.
two guys that will be departing next year for us will be Seymour and Tyvon Branch (who got franchised this year)
Chung is versatile, a hard-hitter, and might be in the price range. Brace will be coming off of injuries, but may fit the 3-4 that Tarver will eventually convert to. (although Brace is seen as the replacement for Vince Wilfork)

Thank you Reggie for knowing value.
The Bills enter a contract with Mario Williams paying him $100M for 6 years, $50M of that money guaranteed.
What will happen now is that the law of inverse proportions arises in which Mario’s performance with the Bills will decline proportionately to his current over-valued services. A pectorial injury lingers and over the next few years it will re-occur and keep Mario out of the line-up sporadically and hamper his playing ability.
Therein, the Bills will sour to Super Mario, and Super Mario’s performance will decline further due to his resentment of Bills’ management.
By the end of season 3 Super Mario would have been released by the Bills, then acquired by another team. The Super Mario Diva will arise and soon he will refuse to play, for one reason or another, period.
Do we remember Albert Haynesworth ?? Yes, we do.
Were the Texans in any way restricted because of Super Mario’s absence last season ? Very little, if at all.
In conclusion, Super Mario has had his best years and he is now on the decline, except for his money. The Super Mario signing will culminate in a total fiasco, and Mario will be out of the NFL within 5 seasons.
My question is: did the spirit of AD settle into the Bills management (curse of AL) insofar as Bills management is now is the throes of dementia regarding the signing of outrageously expensive FA’s who will implode, eventually? Maybe….
One thing is for sure, making decisions such as entering a contract with Super Mario for a guaranteed $50M, demonstrates a total lack of business acumen of the Bills part, and shows they will continue in the cellar.

This is NOT an expansion team.
Ok. You give a GM inheriting a 4-12 team on the downslide a multi year pass, not a team that’s gone 8-8 2 straight seasons.
Some of u make this salary cap sound like a death sentence. Even Cork has stated things can be done THIS yr. if they really want to.
Maybe I’m just one of those “knee jerk” antsy fans who feel waiting almost a decade for a winner is “patient” enough.
How can any Raider fan not feel a sense of urgency at this point?
And to say getting talented players in the past did us no good as a reason not to even try anymore is a defeatist attitude.
“Well we tried that getting good players stuff before and it didn’t work so I say we just give up and try our hand with scrap heap guys”.
Mulit year pass for Reggie? You say that for a first year GM who you consider average at best. Maybe that IS Reggie; average. I guess we shouldn’t expect anything out of him.
I’m not even a “knee jerk” guy. I was one of the few that thought Hue should be retained for continuity sake. Hue would have appreciated some ‘patience’ with a first yr. HC with all the crap he had to deal with. Maybe a little “understanding” too.

Yes. Unfortunately. Davis kept selling the franchise out to get there. Then came Jackson, who did the same. So we have a mess on our hands. The good news: we do have some players. Carson Palmer being one of them. The bad news: we gotta fix the defense with cheap players and UFA’s. It’sd just the way it is.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:13 pm

Remember that the Raider offense is pretty much the same. Those guys can score some points. CP and crew could actually be pretty scary. The Defense blew their wad last season. That’s where the cuts have been.
Raiders keeping the Curry’s and Gio’s that want to play. Not top tier guys, but that will come.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
I don’t lay it on Reggie to fix years of futility, I lay it on him to take an 8-8 team that was one defensive stop from winning the division and taking us to the next level with some “good GM moves”.
Maybe I’m seeing the state of this team a little differently.
I realize he’s a bit hamstrung to make big, bold, expensive moves to drastically improve the team right now, but I do think a “multi-year pass” for a GM inheriting a basically young team that was that close is very generous and way too little to expect from a GM who comes in with such high regard. That’s all.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
It’ll take years to fix Davis’s mess. Not only the team, but the toxic front office. You had assaults, people threatening journalists on live t.v., just a mess. It’ll take years. Reggie’s getting at least 3, win or lose, rain or shine. So get used to it.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:40 pm
Reggie’s first year will be spent mostly exterminating the rats out of the attic and clearing out the old junk. No big flashy moves. Just clearing dead wood, getting the place cleaned out. Once that happens, then he’ll have mobility to make moves. He’ll be building on a foundation, instead of building on rusted junk.
March 15th, 2012 at 11:44 pm
I see where you’re your coming from, DJ. It’s just that we have a GM coming in here trying to clean some things up. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can take 2 steps forward. Our D needed an overhaul, but you can’t just dump everyone and start over, so it’s going to be a process.

Offense will be pretty much the same. Think it would’ve been tough to keep Bush. But, why doesn’t he look for a replacement cheaper (like Hellis who signed with the Chiefs for a 1 year deal)?
Offensive Line also was pretty damned good last year. So, why let Carslile and Satelle walk? They could be gotten back cheap.
Looks like he’s doing NOTHING really except cutting, and gutting, and trying to save money. Saving money isn’t the #1 priority – we’re actually well under the cap now with Henderson gone.
There are good quality people signing for not too much now. And others who we’re just taking too long on. These two injured players that used to be good that we’re bringing over – looks good. If they are healthy sign them! We need a CB desperately, and now our O-Line is in shambles.

I don’t think it’s quite that bad. I mean we can take the one step back and the two steps forward in the same year. Cut the added fat which had rediculous contracts. Replace it at least with mid-level hard working players that require a lower contract. Bring back the players who played well, especially if can be gotten at a low rate. Bingo, you’ve moved forward. At the end of last year, I saw us as a playoff team this year 100% if we ONLY added a good Defensive Coordinator. Just maintain some semblance of the team and add a good D-Coordinator. That same “D” was middle of the pack 2 years ago, and that would’ve been good enough for now.

And I see good teams handling their own. The Saints for example lost their Pro Bowl Guard and signed him with the best replacement out there. They resigned their starting WR. 49ers made some good moves. Even the dammed Chargers replaced their lost WR with 2 pretty good guys for fairly cheap. And there are other signings which aren’t the “BIG NAME” guys, but are solid. KC getting Hillis (we could’ve used that and he agreed to a 1 year 3 Mil contract which is VERY reasonable and agreed to be a back-up). We have a RB who never played more than 10 games a year. Would’ve been good to have. Bears signed our back-up QB and the Cowboys got a good back-up QB as well as a damned good CB. etc. I’m not looking at the Bucs, Bills etc. “Big Name” guys. Just solid signings for reasonable contracts.
March 16th, 2012 at 12:02 am
On DeSean Jackson: Stupid is as stupid does.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
“The Philadelphia Eagles gave wide receiver DeSean Jackson the lucrative long-term contract he wanted on Wednesday. The team announced it was a five-year deal worth $51 million.
While waiting for his desired contract, Jackson had a brief holdout from training camp last summer, and that led to disappointing play. Jackson didn’t return any punts for touchdowns and had issues with drops at times, including in a November loss to the New England Patriots that got him benched.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
We saw what happened to the Eagles “dream team” last season, rife with over paid prima-donna FA’s when the rule of inverse proportions suddenly kicked in: the overpaid FA’s performance declined in inverse proportion to their fat salaries.
This included the beloved “shut down corner” Nnamdi who played miserably and only had 3 INT’s. Of course, character has prevailed over performance: Nnamdi never has been a shut down corner. He had one decent season in 2008 and rest of his career has been less than mediocre. He’s a heck of a guy, but lame as a CB. If you don’t believe me compare his stats to real shut down corners: Lester Hayes and Rod Woodson; there is no comparison at all.
Now we have Eagle management making the same mistake this year as last, paying out huge sums for non-performance. DeSean Jackson, is a quick receiver but has only scored 20 TD’s in 4 seasons – average at best. He is no real game changer: if he was a game changer why did the Eagles suck so bad last year?
Would the Eagles have been worse off without Jackson?? The answer is no.
Last season Jackson held out in training camp lowering his performance; he become known for dropping balls. There is already resentment between the 2 sides and throwing a sackful money in between will solve nothing.
Raider fans who think that Reggie should throw tons of money at FA’s are crazy. It is tantamount to advocating the same demented behavior AD engaged in the past 10 yrs. which brought us to this place we are now: burdened by huge and unusable contracts.
Finally, the Eagles’ decision, portends doom to the efforts of the club to even reach the playoffs. The only way to correct the making of a mistake is to identify it. The Eagles demonstrate an alarming propensity to continue making the same mistake, bad business decisions, and, as a result, loss of qualifying for the playoffs.
The Eagles will continue to suck, and be in the cellar again next season.

Report: Raiders meeting with veteran CB
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, March 15th, 2012 at 11:29 am in Oakland Raiders.
Former St. Louis Rams cornerback Ron Bartell is scheduled to visit the Raiders today, according to an ESPN.com report.
Bartell, 30, spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Rams, where he started 65 games. However, he played in only one game last season because of an injury.
The Raiders are in need of help at cornerback in light of the release of No. 1 cornerback Stanford Routt last month. As of now, second-year players DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa are the projected starters, unless defensive coordinator Jason Tarver decides to follow through with the plan to convert Michael Huff from free safety to cornerback.
The Raiders have yet to meet with any players since free agency started Tuesday. They supposedly intend to meet with Houston Texans guard Mike Brisiel, as well, though that hasn’t been confirmed.
In other news, the 49ers are set to sign former Raiders special team standout Rock Cartwright, as long as he passes his physical.
Cartwright made it clear that he wanted to return to the Raiders for a third season. It appears as if the Raiders had little, if any, interest in continuing the marriage.

Panic in the streets! Raiders haven’t signed anyone! Reminder _ some of worst FA signings come in the first wave.
********************************************************
Lol @ Jerry Mac.
I don’t understand the impatience, either. Guys kick and scream all year about inflated contracts and players getting enormous deals, and then go into panic mode if we haven’t signed anybody three days into free agency.
Take a deep breath, fellas. It’s not just Reggie that’s waiting; it’s a very strategic time for both teams AND agents right now. Dollar values for players and positions are being set and manipulated as guys get signed, there are cat-and-mouse games going on regarding who wants to sign first and who wants to wait, and so on. Agents want the Dan Snyders of the world to jack up the first contracts so the total market is more valuable. Agents like panic mode; smart GMs wait, and pounce when the value is more reasonable. Sometimes you miss on a guy, but most of the time you avoid spending more than you should and regretting it later.
Reggie is on a budget, also. Not his fault, but I’d rather see him get the house in order and give us flexibility for the foreseeable future than spend like a drunken sailor and mortgage it even further than it already is.
We will all be thanking him later.
March 16th, 2012 at 5:44 am
Don’t understand. Why aren’t we looking at Marcus Trufant from Seahawks. From what i’ve observed he is a very capable cover-corner. This Bartell guy is not as good as Trufant, whom I condsider 1 of the more underrated corners in the NFL. We seem to be a step behind the Donkeys on everything! They have already called him in.

can you picture Kell working in “real life” as a real estate guru being courteous & helpful for hours at a time? can you see him being a respectful son-in-law or a really good friend to somebody? a father that a kid looks up to?
can’t see it myself. just seems miserable every time he comments on something. I thought that might change with the passing of Al Davis, since he absorbed the blame for everything. Guess it’s just a personality thing or character flaw
March 16th, 2012 at 6:07 am

Tough question. There are certainly some positions where we need players more than others, gut the exact needs and positions won’t be determined until we see what free agency brings. Also have to consider trades; could take a guy we don’t necessarily need that’s available and trade him. We can’t trade the pick, but we can trade the player after we draft him.
I know that sounds like a copout, but there are too many scenarios to have a definitive answer.

I do like Bobby Wagner, the OLB from Utah State. I read that Allen and RM interviewed him at the combine, and he played really well in the Senior Bowl.
Like I said, though; too many current variables to say definitively which way we should go.
March 16th, 2012 at 6:38 am
@Teach #729
Well, we definately need a few corners to compete with DVD & Chekwa. I think Underwood is camp fodder, unless he makes it as a special teams guy
We’re good at safety. just re-sign Giordano to back up Huff
Paper thin at LB. McClain sucks, Goethel is the new ‘Glass Man’ with Chaz hitting free agency, Groves is a free agent, Wimbley will be axed today and then there’s Aaron Curry.
D-Line looks good unless we’re gonna run a 3-4 to mix it up on occasion. We don’t have a nose tackle to man the middle of a 3-4 line and we don’t have a ILB to play next to McRussell
I’d kind of be surprised if we didn’t run a little 3-4 with Reggie McKenzie, Jason Tarver & Terrel Williams in Oakland. all are well versed in it
So I say we need 2 CB’s, 1 S, 3 LB’s and 1 NT on Defense
between the draft and free agency we should be able to accomplish that. then add in some undrafted kids to compete for jobs and we’re set.
we already have enough talent on the roster to take the AFC West in 2012 – print it
March 16th, 2012 at 6:39 am
Hey Dirt Lot,
I’ve talked to Jason, the guy that comes with me…the problem is that we usually have (sometimes) people that come to single games and they all like to park with us. I mean, can that be possible even if we get the pass?
March 16th, 2012 at 6:40 am
Yeah raiders have not signed anybody because money is low. This is not some reggie is a great gm thing so stop with that mess. What can he do? They dont have tampa bay money. Overall with the cuts, FA, and lack of draft the raider roster will be weaker. Its not like the 49ers where basically they had the same talent with new coaching. Get ready for 6-10

++++++++++++
Agreed, RRS. There’s guys out there to fill the CB spots–Bartell, Porter, Trufant come to mind. Aubrayo Franklin can play the nose.
Problem with linebacker right now is that the best options–Curtis Lofton, David Hawthorne, Stephen Tulloch–are all natural middle linebackers and RoMac doesn’t look to be going anywhere and I’m not sure he can play the SAM.
March 16th, 2012 at 6:51 am
Huh. Little glitch in the system there, looks like.
Anyway, to address your post, Rockstar…
I think we pretty much agree there. Looks like RM wants at least one corner in free agency, and we’ll see how much more he addresses the D that way. I would REALLY like us to get our hands on Jameel McClain from the Ravens, but I’ve read that they want to keep him in the worst way and if that’s true it means we’ll probably come up short on the money end.
So, we’ll see.

I know they can’t afford Lofton and even Hawthorne or Tulloch would be tough. Problem is, the LB FA class after that isn’t all that great and the Raiders are, as RRS says, paper thin.
To me, it’s a virtual certainty Reggie uses his first picks on a CB and a LB in the draft.

The funny thing about Tracv Porter is that he and DVD are virtually the same size. DVD is just a little taller.
DVD gets bashed in here quite a lot, but I think he’s going to surprise some people. A lot of natural talent there. Maybe he needs to bulk up a little, but he’s a smooth as glass and with some more (and better) coaching I think he could be a very good corner.

Maybe, but not nearly the payday that he thought he was getting. There are some others like Curtis Lofton who is looking to get paid $9M/per but the market is only about $6M/per.
There are a lot of “outta whack” contracts out there, and the leftover FA’s like Wimbley are going to want to step up to the gravy train while there are still some owners who haven’t come to their senses.
I really feel that Reggie Mac held him as a ploy to get the last minute restructure talks going again. It doesn’t hurt him any to hold him till 3:59 today, does it?

Always followed his career, and still will wherever he ends up this year, but the truth is, he is all but done. And thats coming from a big fan. His back is just shot. Hope he proves me wrong, as a fan, but he couldnt even get on the field last year, but he had already started to slip in 2010. If we could somehow end up with Porter, and a medically cleared Bartell, we could be real nice at CB this season, at a real reasonable price.

March 16th, 2012 at 7:58 am
Crap teams like Buffalo and Tampa have to overpay to get talent to come to them. Anyone who signs with them knows that it’s all about chasing a big paycheck and not winning championships. Al Davis in his later years also had to overspend to get “his guys”, because that’s the only way he could lure them from championship caliber rosters. For Oakland to have any shot at landing a good free agent, we have to overpay as well. No one wants to come here, unless a fat contract is in line. I suspect even the 2nd and 3rd tier free agents will be asking for more than the going rate when they visit Oakland. It’s tough truth to swallow, but this team hasn’t been to the playoffs in almost a decade. Until Reggie Mac and Dennis Allen change that, it’s going to be tough recruiting players that are going to be “Reggie Mac’s guys”. The ones he’ll take to the foxhole with.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:00 am
Wimbley has said all along that he is willing to restructure, but that he won’t take a pay cut. That’s a problem for the Raiders because of how much he has coming down the road.
His agent is spinning like mad, saying that his client is “prepared to honor his contract”, obviously playing the PR game by intimating that the Raiders don’t want to honor it.
Whomever allowed it to happen (folks will say Al did, but was he really the details guy on contracts at his age?) got suckered. Wimbley knows he got away with one, and so does his agent. If they know, then Reggie knows. Stalemate.
Maybe JFB is right.
March 16th, 2012 at 8:01 am
Here I’ve been hearing that he’s willing to restructure, then he’s not…not sure what to believe!

fellas, Wimbley is willing to restructure. move his money around all you want to. He just said that he’s not willing to take a pay CUT or reduction.
Palmer, Seymour & Huff reduced their salaries down to the vet minimum and the rest was converted into a bonus that saved us some serious cap money. they didn’t take pay cuts or less money either.

Wimbley knew full well that he was overpaid when he signed that ridiculous deal with Al. It’s really in the best interest of the Raiders to cut him. Pay him his $6.5M to move on. Just the same way they paid JaMarcus to leave.
Even if Kam is a pretty good player and worth some of that money, he torpedoes the cap going forward, and hurts the team more than he helps it. This really should be an easy call for Reggie Mac.

@Teach
Wimbley is going to get one last big payday. either the one that Al Davis gave him last offseason, restructured… or one from another team this month after his release
$6.5 million from Oakland is a nice parting gift. nobody forced Al Davis to sign that contract. Wimbley will probably get 4-years $25 million elsewhere and Reggie knows it, but his agent probably thinks he’s getting half of Mario Williams contract 6-years $50 million

Remember, his Colts were “only” 10-6 his last year there. Hardly dominant. Good, but not world beaters.
For all his greatness he has only won one SB.

San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said he would welcome the competition in the AFC West if Peyton Manning joined the Denver Broncos.
“I have to admit, and maybe people think I’m crazy, but I really hope it’s Denver,” Rivers told during a Wednesday radio interview on XEPRS-AM.
“It would immediately make it that much tougher to win the West. Gosh, to play him twice a year, the AFC West would become a division that’s not lost in the shuffle,” Rivers said. “I’m kind of hoping that’s the case It’s always fun to play a Peyton-led football team.”

… That’s how we got in this mess …Al’s overblown contracts to ” Win Now”… Nothing wrong with the win now mentality … But the players who got those huge paydays were questionable at least … We see what happened ..

I know, you told me that before…and Brady is from Cali…that is why it was a joke! And are you a Clipper fan because they were in SD before? Just asking…

Instead of watching Manning throw they outta have him get slammed across the mug by some 300lb lineman. What the f..k is throwing gonna prove?
March 16th, 2012 at 9:28 am
The only good thing about Mich is the Arabic food, and you can get that in Chi, LA, or NY.
We should release Mich or trade it to Canada.
March 16th, 2012 at 9:28 am
honest question:
do you guys think Mario Williams going to Buffalo has anything to do with Miami suddenly being “out of the running” for Peyton Manning?
and Wimbley being released from Oakland suddenly makes Denver the favorite to land him?

902 yeah just runnin my mouth. The reality is you never know what’s gonna happen “with any player” not just manning. The chance of getting injured his so high. I actually thought Manning might retire. He has more money than got.

RR,
$7-10 million is not enough to sign a CB, LB, DL, OL, etc.. We need to add more talent and depth, but we don’t have enough cap room to do it. Our best option will be URFAs.
signing Satele, Heyer, and CC may cost us more than 30% of our available cap space. We can’t only sign 3-5 FAs.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:01 am

As far as us getting back atop the AFC west, that is gonna happen either way.

His sack production can be easily replaced. TK hard more sacks than Wimbkey last season. I think Wimbley is our best pass rusher (Matt needs to prove he can be that guy). He is not an impact player, but he fits in well with what we are trying to do. He can play DE and OLB.

He can play RDE, LDE in passing situations, and he can play OLB.

These are the kind of guys we used to sign in free agency:
“NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that the Broncos have scheduled a free agent visit for linebacker Geno Hayes, formerly of the Buccaneers.
Hayes, 24, made 45 starts over the past three years in Tampa. He was benched in November of last season for tackling poorly.”
He would fit right in “Tackling poorly”
I am so glad we are staying away from these kinds of free agents this year!

No one is being a DK. Not Wimbley or Reggie. They are both doing what they can to get what they want.
Wimbley wants all his money, and Reggie is trying to keep him without having to pay so much.
It’s a business decision. Get over it.
March 16th, 2012 at 10:55 am
Wimbley is just ok as an LB and as a DE. Peace, Kam. We have enough game tape on Kam playing 3-4 in CLE and being “just ok”. We also had him here playing 4-3. Again, he was just ok. At this stage of his career, I think its safe to say that he isnt going to get “better”. We will be able to replace his production.

March 16th, 2012 at 10:56 am
Boss to KC,that’s funny. If he was a good player the Raiders would have kept him. Instead they plan to make Ausberry a beast!
Routt, he always sucked. I spent the last several years yelling that he has got to be the dumbest person ever. He would stand there like he was lost. Then he gets a big contract and holds anything running. Can’t wait to see him get lost playing zone coverage.
And lastly, why would manning want to go to denver, who the hell would he throw the ball to?

Would Manning really want to be associated with any Tebow controversy the moment the Donkeys lose a game? I have a hard time an intelligent guy like Manning would want to be involved with a situation like that. Phoenix is perfect for him. The QBs suck here.

This may be old news, but wtf………..
The Denver Post repots the Broncos are planning to offer free agent Peyton Manning a contract worth roughly $60 million over five seasons.
An “NFL source” also confirms Manning has narrowed his choices to Denver and Tennessee. The Broncos’ offer would include $30 million guaranteed, “give or take.” It’s reportedly the same contract parameters the Titans are working off of. According to the Post, the Broncos could “sweeten their offer, or lock in their guarantee” if they are satisfied with Manning’s Friday workout today.

NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reports the Raiders will release OLB Kamerion Wimbley on Friday.
Wimbley is one of a handful of veterans, including Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb, Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie, Eagles CB Joselio Hanson, and Bills DE Spencer Johnson, with roster bonuses due. With Mario Williams out of the picture, Wimbley will immediately become the most attractive pass rusher on the market.

Schefter, who broke the 49ers news on SportsCenter early Friday afternoon, reported that San Francisco secretly sent club officials to watch Manning throw at Duke University last Tuesday night. The 49ers’ representatives were said to be “very impressed with what they saw.”

As long as peyton stays out of the afc west. And can we make a move pleasee reggie just one
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OMG! Could we start acting like Raider fans anytime soon please?
F**k Peyton Manning!
I hope the Donkeys actually sign him because I for one am willing to shell out the scratch necessary just to watch Sho’nasty put that *ithch on his rump. What I really want to see is how fast all those Donkey fans that jumped on the TRT bandwagon jump off that same bandwagon when the Bronc-holes sign PM.

Be a REAL Raider fan. F**k Peyton Manning!
OMG Peyton Manning in our division for 5 years. Oh, dread! What to do?
Buy a ticket! Watch Sho’nasty separate Peyton’s head from his neck!!
Film at 11!
