Raiders meeting with two veteran free agents
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, March 13th, 2013 at 12:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders reportedly are interested enough in linebacker Nick Roach and defensive tackle Pat Sims to schedule meetings with both players at some point this week, according to reports.
Sims, 27, started 23 games during his five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, but only one of those starts came the past two seasons. He recorded 17 tackles in eight games last season.
The Raiders are down two defensive tackles from last season’s roster as of right now — Richard Seymour is a free agent, Desmond Bryant signed with the Cleveland Browns.
Roach, 27, started 59 games during his six seasons with the Chicago Bears. More than half those starts came the past two seasons.
Roach also is on the radar of several other teams. The Raiders are seeking an infusion of talent for a linebacking corps that just lost Phillip Wheeler and soon is expected to lose Rolando McClain.
In other news, the Raiders re-signed cornerback Coye Francies, who was with the Raiders last season and played mostly special teams.

What we’re learning about McKenzie is that he walks softly and speaks carefully and moves deliberately — but decisively. His mini-purge on Tuesday is another example.
The signs are clear, the message loud. McKenzie used his broom, and he is not finished. The remaking of the Raiders, which became very necessary with the coaching change before last season, is officially under way.

But Joe Webb is, he meets the “criteria” apparently.
So you wouldn’t like the Raiders dumping Palmer, and letting TP and Tebow battle it out in a “space-aged” offense?
============
webb is a better passer than tebow and a better runner
tebow cant run the offense im hoping for, because he cant throw the ball
still dont know why you are trying to force a debate over bobby douglass, i mean tebow

you been having conversations with sportrac? How did $16 mill turn into $21 mill?
********
Because the (15.5 mill) was including us taking Mike Huffs dead money this year at 9 mill. NFL.com transactions page confirms Huff was a June 1st designation, therefor the dead money for him this year is 3.15 mill and 6.3 mill in 2014. So its actually closer to 2 million.
And I haven’t been ‘talking’ with the guy from spotrac, but I tweeted him asking what the split was for Huff and he responded right away.

Watched that guy roll into NY with the Eagles and kick the sht out of the eventual world champions just two short years ago. I’ve always felt the guy was getting a raw deal.

Report: Raiders having “preliminary” talks with Vince Young
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 13, 2013, 1:16 PM EDT
Getty Images
Former Titans, Eagles and Bills quarterback Vince Young is eager to talk to any NFL team that will hear him out in an effort to explain why he deserves another chance in the NFL. He may have found one team that’s at least willing to listen.
Young is in talks with the Raiders about visiting them for a workout, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport cautioned that those talks are “preliminary,” so we’re probably not going to be seeing Young in the Silver and Black any time soon.
Still, even “preliminary” interest is more than Young has been generating elsewhere since the Bills cut him during the 2012 preseason. Young has said repeatedly that he wants another shot in the league (in large part because he needs the money), and the Raiders appear to be the closest thing he has found to a taker.
Oakland currently has two quarterbacks on the roster, Carson Palmer and Terrelle Pryor, and it’s unclear what the Raiders’ plans are at the position. It won’t be easy for Young to convince an NFL team to give him a shot, but Young in Oakland might just be crazy enough to work.

We still have 1 June 1 designation left to use, but I don’t think they will use that on Slo. He will get cut on June 1st, why reward him and release him into the FA market when teams still have money. I think they only other person that could get cut and get that designation would be Palmer.

Again, I ask the question, when is Slo’s workout bonus regimen slated for? Pre June 1 or after June 1.
That’s another $250K just for pushing some weights.

If Rolando is cut before July 29th we only pay 50% of his workout bonus, after that its the whole thing. So it doesn’t matter if we cut him today or June 1st.

I was on a Jacksonville board and asked them a question on their rebuilding plan. Does this sound familiar?
From JAX Board:
“….The plan is to fully rebuild. They are ridding themselves of undesirable contracts for mediocre players. They are taking their lumps now and committing to the future. They’ll sign some lower tiered FA’s later on to fill holes and build through the draft. This approach is necessary, as the team in its current state is absolutely awful…..”

In all seriousness the Raiders will wait for the 3rd wave of FA period, when the ones leftover with upside have less leverage during thinner market.
Agents and players then take low-balling deals to have a sense of security with a team.
I would think Nnamdi, Charles Woodson, Brandon Meyers, Maybe even Jennings, Harrison, those types will be easier to swindle.

VY has had his moments. I always thought if he got his head together he could win games for you or at the very least be a capable backup.

who was playing hurt in a terrible system. get over yourself

Yeah the injury didn’t get reported until he graded out as one of the worst Guards in the league. Too bad, Grandpa Bergstrom couldn’t fill in for him…The “terrible system”? LOL! Whose idea was it to install it? How could anyone predict that Greg Knapp would run a “terrible” system? Man didn’t see that one coming.

Not giving VY enough credit. I’d take him as the starter here over Carson Palmer any day of the week. Watched that guy roll into NY with the Eagles and kick the sht out of the eventual world champions just two short years ago.
=============================================
VY has had his moments. I always thought if he got his head together he could win games for you or at the very least be a capable backup.
But VY looked like terrible in relief of Vick. Was shocked by how far he seemed to have regressed.
Absolutely nothing to lose by bringing him in and taking a look though.
—————————–
Uh …ya a roster spot. Maybe they want to see if Pryor can teach him to be a professional? Much rather have a young guy to groom, even an UDFA.
March 13th, 2013 at 12:45 pm
no you only want to try and make that my argument loser
before carson signed i also used various stats to make the case that jc was better, since jc has departed i have used the win and loss record as well
I am sorry that your heroes flopped and couldnt best jc (grads and palmer)
move on
__________
you’re the loser because you lose the argument, but you’re also not a man because you can’t admit when you lose. if wins and losses are not in the equation, qbr is the primary stat used to determine the better qb and cp > jc with regards to qbr
March 13th, 2013 at 12:46 pm
Who would trade for Slo? Seriously. He’s for sure going to be cut anyway. If Reggie pulls up a deal for a 7th rounder next year, I’d be impressed.

********************
Brisiel was the #1 ranked FA ZBS guard when we signed him. He played hurt all year, it’s easy to say in hindsight, but Brisiel was still a good signing.
Of course you would rather Reggie be more like Al… who paid Deangelo Hall 8 million to give up 10+ tds in half a season. Certainly a better way to go…
==========
Only a dumbass could consider changing the offense to a ZBS a good idea. They had no reason to do it except to put their own stamp on things. I give a sh!t what Brisel was ranked. He was crap and yet you Shreg apologists defend it as a “good signing”. You must have been lucky enough to not watch all 16 games with that guy. Great move cutting Saetele for him.
I’d rather Reggie stop being like Josh McDaniels & Scott Pioli. Comparing Shreg to Al? that’s hilarious. remind me who has a history of success in this league.

you’re right he wasted a year, but i give him a pass because of when he got here not enough time to assess what we had and we were coming off two 8 and 8 seasons

Not enough time? Not enough time? He had plenty of time to reckonize the deal and take action.

Go look at Reggie’s transcript from his hiring. He was in rebuilding mode from day 1.
March 13th, 2013 at 1:21 pm
Greg Papa just said that DHB had to go at that salary
Huff was a little suprising but he was an average player not probowl player but versatile. He said Al Davis was gonna trade Huff to the BRONCOS in 08 and had a deal done but pulled it back
Said he was shocked .. absolutely shocked at the DESMOND BRYANT deal.. he couldnt believe they way overpaid for him.. said he is an nfl player but doesnt know if he is a starter. He said he values shaunnasey more then bryant. Said he even texted Mike lombardi who use to be on 95.7 the game kinda saying what were u guys doing with that? never heard back lol
Said wheeler did some things well.. hard player but not a difference maker.. said he regressed after week 6 and just looked flat. I would agree with that too
John Lund his cohost said the Raiders did the right thing releasing these guys and letting the Miami and Cleaveland way over pay for these two players.
Said thats why browns or bad teams remaind bad.. overpaying for average talent
btw GREG said he would ask CARSON to take a small pay cut if that meant they could go after GREG JENNINGS. PAPA wants GREG JENNINGS

I got arrested on Monday night and by the time I got out on Tuesday, it seemed like half of the Raiders defense was on another team.
I saw A LOT of bad football last year. Was not expecting much more this season, so I’m all for the purging. It actually makes me feel better. So now I know I’m looking at two drafts before seeing the new Raiders under Reggie. Some new GM’s come into a situation with a lot of pieces in place but without a key part or key coach.
We were missing so many important pieces AND the decent pieces we had in place to get us 8-8 two years in a row were under horrible contracts, hurting our cap down the line.
Now we all know what not to expect..at least.

Signing guys that (at the time) you think are the right players to build your core around is rebuilding. You have to start somewhere. Branch was who he thought was the most talented of the young guys on defense. Briesel was a fairly young, proven ZBS anchor on a team that was converting to that system. Another rebuilding type move.
Not playing Pryor has nothing to do with rebuilding or not. The guy showed too much inability to digest the playbook or run the offense through most of the season. Not playing guys that aren’t ready has nothing to do with whether or not a team is rebuilding. He didn’t give Bergstrom Carlisle’s spot either because — wait for it — he wasn’t showing that he was ready for it yet.

Cowboys were horrible after aikman retired.. rams used to be the laughing stock of LA.. SF was a train wreck until recently. Hell the hallowed and mighty pats were nothing until recent history really. Every team has down times, ours has just lasted a while because the hard work wasn’t done to fix the issues.

Vontaze wasn’t anything special, not to mention their season ended with him getting a personal foul to give the Texans an automatic first down to end the game.
Would have rather had him over Stupar of course, but I think he is more K.D. Williams than Mike Singletary.
His 17 tackle game was nonsense, Baltimore was running the ball everyplay, with all their scrubs in.

People keep saying it was only Luck that changed. But in reality they changed 4 out 5 starters on that OL and came up with a very good one. But to give credit to Luck where due, he is the best young Manning-like cerebral QB in the game and he makes as much if not more difference with his reads than with his arm. Smith is not that level of prospect. He’s more the type of young QB that will take several seasons to develop, like a Flacco or a Rodgers type.

March 13th, 2013 at 1:38 pm
Waiting for and then hiring a new coach may overlap with another task facing McKenzie: He must scout and evaluate all the Raiders and decide who gets invited back next season.
“There will be no quick decisions at all, because the last thing I would want is to let go of someone and he turns out to be a Pro Bowl-type player,” McKenzie said.
“Mistakes will happen. They happen because of haste, and I don’t want to act in haste. So we’ll evaluate all our personnel and when the time comes, when it’s time to make a move, if we have to, we will.”

Playing TP has everything to do with rebuilding. it all starts at quarterback and if TP is not the future we really need to look at other quarterbacks. playing cp was a lame fùck around a waste of time… brisel/zbs/krapp was a team killing move. And changing systems every yr is b.s. Reggie gets it now we’re rebuilding. I’m glad everybody gets it now.

if Reggie knew we were rebuilding we wouldn’t have gave Briesel or branch fat deals and we would have played TP down the stretch. quit making excuses they sound silly
====
Signing guys that (at the time) you think are the right players to build your core around is rebuilding. You have to start somewhere. Branch was who he thought was the most talented of the young guys on defense. Briesel was a fairly young, proven ZBS anchor on a team that was converting to that system. Another rebuilding type move.
Not playing Pryor has nothing to do with rebuilding or not. The guy showed too much inability to digest the playbook or run the offense through most of the season. Not playing guys that aren’t ready has nothing to do with whether or not a team is rebuilding. He didn’t give Bergstrom Carlisle’s spot either because — wait for it — he wasn’t showing that he was ready for it yet.

TP allways said he knew the playbook.
Show me a link from someone in the media, or the org that says he did not know the playbook.
Where did you get this notion from? You into making stuff up?

Knapp and Palmer said Pryor remains attentive during meetings, has a grasp of the playbook and takes preparation seriously.
“If we were to talk and you were to give me a formation for this upcoming week, I’d know every single play,” Pryor said.

If the front office wanted to see TP for 4-5 games, they should have canned DA and put in a puppet (maybe Saunders) to act out their orders.
Instead they gave this, bizarre “must win now, everyone is being evaluated” line that paniced DA into thinking he needed to win to keep his job.
Of course, he didn’t win, and still kept his job, lol.

Nobodys ever been bad b4 getting better? Never heard of the cowboys?…. sf?… Buffalo?…rams?…..Raiders??…everybody…
==========================
Cowboys were horrible after aikman retired.. rams used to be the laughing stock of LA.. SF was a train wreck until recently. Hell the hallowed and mighty pats were nothing until recent history really. Every team has down times, ours has just lasted a while because the hard work wasn’t done to fix the issues. You cant keep drafting like garbage and throwing huge money at washed up vets and expect to win in the long term.
>>>>
The Rams and Niners are prolly the only exception to the rule where they went from garbage to winning very quickly.
And the niners don’t have a ring yet.
So its ONE team that hit rock bottom and then hit paydirt quickly in a few years? How many SB’s have there been?
Most other teams work their way up to a championship slowly and surely by finding and KEEPING their HC… Toiling around 8-8 for awhile, settling on a franchise QB, and plugging pieces in.
We got up to 8-8’s and then tossed it all away.
Now were bottom feeding for crumbs with Jax…

This was probably one of the reasons Reggie contemplated DA’s fate this offseason.
I just believe that once the writing was on the wall regarding the 2012 season, Reggie should have called DA into his office and said, you know, this is a lost cause, so lets see what we have in the young QB. If he tanks, we know what we need to do, and you will not be blamed for it at the end of the season.
The season was over the second we hired Knapp….but it was obviously over after week 2, so one would think by week 11-12, it would have dawned on them that it was time to get a look at the young fella.
March 13th, 2013 at 2:04 pm
I cut Regina a little slack bcz he’s been operating under less than ideal circumstances.
We all realize there’s legitimacy to his whines about lack of cap space and draft picks.
His signing of Wheels was a good one. I think there might have been some decent draft picks. I like Burris even though many of the semi’s here don’t. Streeter could turn out to be a good UDFA acquisition. Bilukidi might turn out to be a find as well.
But Regina’s efforts to revamp the O-line have been pretty sorry.
Briesel, unless he comes back and plays well, was a horrible move. Bergstrom, his first draft pick, couldn’t crack the lineup even to replace an injured Barnes or Briesel – this is not a good sign. Then there was Willie Smith. Ouch.
Looks like 0 for 3 in his attempts on that front.
Similarly, his attempts to rework the CB situation by signing Spencer and Bartell were exercises in futility.
0 for 2 on that front.
Of course his biggest whiff of all, and the one that will be hardest to recover from, will turn out to be hiring Tits.
Yeah, Regina deserves some latitude, but he shouldn’t be given a pass for all of his fvckups.

I wouldn’t be too worried about The Broncos signing Welker. We re-signed Francies. That automatically neutralizes Welker’s effectiveness on the field. Welker might have a catch or two under his belt, but lets see him try pulling one in with Francies attached to his hip.
As far as I can tell, The Broncos going after Welker was a direct response to the splashes we have made by getting Adams and Francies inked. They saw us making the types of moves that spell trouble for the rest of the division, and now theyre nervous.

Now we know that Hue was fired because he won too many games for the rebuilding plan to work.
March 13th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
i think we can agree that cable probably deserved one more year, and then after that hue probably deserved one more year. so if ur a believer in that then u should believe that DA deserves another year. firing a coach after one year is not a good way to build a winner, because iplayers fail to develop if they have new coaches every year, therefore young players dont develop, we dont get any better, the next coach has a bad team, team does bad, coach gets canned. its a vicious cycle. they are trying to end that cycle.
**********************************
At least two holes in that theory.
1) Cable and Hue won some games
2) You can’t rely on developing last years players if this year you have all new ones.

The difference is that Dennis Allen took essentialy the same roster as Hue, one could argue a better roster, and produced a much worse product. He had the latitude to hire his own staff and fired almost half of them a year later, did they not deserve another year? Allen concluded that he had seen enough after one year to conclude that they should be fired, why couldn’t one come to the same conclusion about him?

Gdog winning does not create more winning. ever hear of the superbowl hangover? we need talented players and coaches to win. Rebuilding does serve a purpose, and every team goes thru it.. your being dense.
>>>>
Oh really? How did you think Denver attracted Manning? By being 0-16 after their 4-12 season in 2010? Did they set the place on fire like we are doing? Or did they build back up to 8-8 ??
Tell me how many SB’s Detroit has won by losing… or Clev, or Jax, or KC!!!
No premier players want to go there. And “Reggie’s way” takes forever!! I am looking at 2018 EARLIEST! More likely 2020!
We had a good team in place with two 8-8’s, and we tossed it all out the door. Now we aren’t even trying to get back to 8-8 again. This is crazy!!!
================
manning went to dever because of john elway. John elway knew how to win a super bowl late in his career as a qb and peyton knew that elway would look out for him and make it possible. to go along with that, denver minus tebow looked a lot like indianapolis colts. two scary pass rushers like freeney and mathis(dumervil and von miller). a young dynamic wr corps waiting to have a real qb (demariyus thomas & Eric Decker). they brought in stokely and tamme from indy. And John is a good salesman, and Peyton didn’t want to play in the nfc because of his brother. not because they went from 4-12 to 8-8.. if that were the case he would have just went to the niners who went from 5-11 to 13-3 and a game within the super bowl.

March 13th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
In today’s piece about free agents on the Cleveland Browns, we look at the team’s lone free agent linebacker, Kaluka Maiava.
LB Kaluka Maiava
Linebacker Kaluka Maiava stares at a football. Credit: David Richard-USA TODAY Sports How and When He Joined the Browns: Maiava was a fourth-round pick by the Browns in 2009 and played under Rob Ryan in the 3-4 defense. His four-year rookie contract is now set to expire.
Productivity Level Last Season: Statistically, Maiava posted career highs across almost the entire board. He started 13 games (it was basically 16, but sometimes Cleveland heavily ran the nickel package), logging 53 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 passes defended, and 2 forced fumbles. It was not a standout season for Maiava, but you could also say that his production flew under-the-radar a little bit.
Why Keeping Him Could Make Sense: If you’re looking for versatility, Maiava has a little bit of that. He was drafted by the Browns to be a 3-4 inside linebacker. He has played two years in that role, and also has two years of experience as a 4-3 outside linebacker. If he were retained, Maiava would move back to the inside in 3-4 sets to play alongside D’Qwell Jackson.
What the Browns Should Do: Meh. That pretty much sums up how I have felt about Maiava during his four-year career with the Browns. If he gets brought back, he shouldn’t command too big of a contract, which I guess it a plus.
As it stands right now, the inside linebackers in the 3-4 look can be filled by D’Qwell Jackson, Chris Gocong, James-Michael Johnson, Craig Robertson, L.J. Fort, and Tank Carder. With all of those names in there, I don’t see how Maiava was enough of a standout to be re-signed. It seems to make more sense for the Browns to either find a more impact free agent (who can play behind DQ), or see if any undrafted free agents shine in training camp. Aloha, Maiava.
Now it’s your turn — vote in the poll below on whether or not the team should re-sign Kaluka Maiava!
——-key word “MEH” lol
March 13th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
I always liked Kai Maiava, good football player, smart, and a hard worker. Not the greatest athlete or the most imposing specimen but he knows how to play the game
March 13th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
I wouldn’t be suprised if we offered Wheeler about the same cash as Miami.
He looked at the team, the tax situation for the state (about a 10% difference in take home) and probably the QB and took the Miami gig.

===============
the same roster minus the best pass rusher and two starting corners, and then he had the two starting corners who were supposed to replace them both go down by week 2. his starting safety playing corner by week 4. starting pro bowl DT missing at least 10 games. 4th round rookie OLB starting, 1st round bust MLB starting, a ss that was playing hurt all year, a FS that would barely make the 53 man roster on any other club starting, and than pulling a hamstring everytime he got beat. starting guard moving to center, new RG, new LG. Yea, thats pretty much the same team.
His major failure was knapp, that’s on him. it’s called a rookie mistake. Hue made his fare share as well.

I’ve been thru many dark times as a Raider fan…we all have, but i’ve never been in an offseason that was so utterly devoid of hope as this one….EVER.
One thing Al did every year was give us reason to hope…not to hope that in SEVEN F’ING YEARS we might get to .500…but hope that we would turn it around.
I know he didn’t deliver all the time but we had some great years…some good ones…and some bad ones…but this new regime has only given us 4-12 so far and what is being called one of the worst teams not only for 2013 but quite possibly OF ALL TIME.

And Wheeler’s production has been replaced at 1/3 the price.

Wheeler had 109 tackles last year, Maiava had 53

maiava was a 2 down 4-3 OLB … know your football before you talk

Awesome, we replace a 3 down LB with a 2 down LB. A 1/3 of a LB with a 1/3 of production for 1/3 of a price tag.

Raiders signed DT Pat Sims, formerly of the Bengals.Although Sims is one dimensional, he is an efficient run stopper and can fill a needed role on an Oakland defense that annually struggles to stop ground attacks. Sims turned 27 last November. He packs 335 pounds on a 6-foot-2 frame. Mar 13 – 5:48 PM

I’ve been thru many dark times as a Raider fan…we all have, but i’ve never been in an offseason that was so utterly devoid of hope as this one….EVER.
One thing Al did every year was give us reason to hope…not to hope that in SEVEN F’ING YEARS we might get to .500…but hope that we would turn it around.
I know he didn’t deliver all the time but we had some great years…some good ones…and some bad ones…but this new regime has only given us 4-12 so far and what is being called one of the worst teams not only for 2013 but quite possibly OF ALL TIME.
Thanks a lot.
“Just wait till the old man is gone” they said.
Yeah right…..SEVEN F’ING YEARS?
Screw all of that.
*****
FYI it’s March 13. The season starts in September or maybe the end of August. Lets see where we’re at then. Anyone who suffered through Greg Knapp’s offense last year with the pretend OL coach and lousy free agent signing he brought with him should see Olson and Sparano as hope. The players will come, hopefully enough that we win a few games this year.
The future depends primarily on drafting well. If Reggie Mac can’t get it done in draft, the rest don’t matter. But we’ll know long before 7 years. Most teams have about 85% turnover in 5 years, and about 70% in 4 years. Okay, I haven’t checked those figures, they are estimates. But if we can have 3-4 great drafts in a row we’re sure to be in the playoffs. Haven’t seen that in over a decade. Hopefully Reggie is the man. He needs to prove it after a kinda sputtering start under difficult circumstances.

I was addressing Bryant specifically. Wheeler was almost certainly overpaid and I don’t think he is anything near replaceable. Bryant was a diamond in the rough that we found and imo is worth the contract he got.

the same roster minus the best pass rusher and two starting corners, and then he had the two starting corners who were supposed to replace them both go down by week 2. his starting safety playing corner by week 4. starting pro bowl DT missing at least 10 games. 4th round rookie OLB starting, 1st round bust MLB starting, a ss that was playing hurt all year, a FS that would barely make the 53 man roster on any other club starting, and than pulling a hamstring everytime he got beat. starting guard moving to center, new RG, new LG.

He had Palmer and Dmac on the field together and the benefit of a full offseason thanks to there not being a lockout.

Maiava is a decent signing. Apparently Reggie learned from his mistake with Wheeler by locking him in for more than one year.
Sims sounds like another Bartell type. OK, but likely to be injured.

well you’re stuck with him for at least another year so at least root for him and hope he is the guy for the job. I would think as raider fans we would want to keep our coahes and let them develop and get better. He made a mistake hiring knapp, and he corrected his mistake by firing him.
Hue was a great OC, not the best Hc and definitely not a good GM. Hue made a similar mistake by not firing bresnehan when al davis was fired. u can say that cost us the playoffs.

Well, since he barely has been able to get into the starting lineup, he better play with passion. Didn’t play at all in 2012, but his def coordinator raves about him. Was he injured or something?
March 13th, 2013 at 3:10 pm
I like Sims size. If he’s healthy, he can be disruptive, but hes always out of shape and hurt. Reggie clearly has a thing for guys that are prone to injury. Sims signing may mean Kelly is gone soon. Reggie is probably just seeing if he can get a draft pick for him, which wont happen.
Not as down on Maiava replacing Wheeler as others are. I think Maiava has his first full productive season with us. Not saying he will be an All-Pro, but I actually think he will have no problem matching, or even surpassing Wheelers production.
2 decent signings, depth at the least, but nothing that someone making an NFL GM salary should be tooting their own horn over.
Lets see what else you got, Reggie.
