So he can really save a lot of money to hell with Marquette what's his name, Carmona is the man for the Raiders for the next decade BOOK IT... even though it's May, it's never too early to book anything regarding the opening day roster for this year...or the next decade K/P Eddy Carmona (Harding) being tried out should be a sure sign to the anti-Lechler conspiracy theorists that Lechler is sure to fall down the elevator shaft at team HQ soon so the Raiders won’t have to pay his contract

It's just the way it is.
