Jackson, Palmer cut
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 5:41 pm in Oakland Raiders.
There club hasn’t made it official, but the word is the Raiders have cut fullback Tony Jackson and offensive lineman Jonathan Palmer as they attempt to make roster space for their final two draft picks, Arman Shields and Trevor Scott.
Cap space may be another matter. Since they didn’t reach an agreement with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and will accomodate his cap figure of more than $9.7 million, the Raiders may need to come to a resolution with running back LaMont Jordan to create enough space to reel in their last two draft picks.
Jackson was signed on June 10 in order to give fullback Justin Griffith a break after Oren O’Neal was slowed by a hamstring injury.
Palmer was claimed last Dec. 26 off the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad and was working primarily as a guard during minicamps and organized team activities.

Relax now
I need some iNFORMATION first
just the basic facts
can you show me where it hurts
July 18th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
dude I was just watching that on youtube 84 concert good stuff
July 18th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Cut LaMont loose already. We’re not getting anything back and I don’t think he’ll accept battling for a position as a 4th RB. Turn the page.
July 18th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
I would have thought singing Nnamdi to a long term deal would have given them more flexibility, since his salary under such a deal could be negotiated and/or deferred and would be in the 5 mill range.

Whats up fellas? Did you all notice our buddy MR was not involved in almost the entire previous thread? Hopefully he got the big boot! Anyhow this year is looking better every day, I’m In!
Damn it feels good to be a Gangsta!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Maybe while The Raiders are working with the niners we will just send Lamont to thier locker room and never look back. They will never even notice he’s there!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
the bears need a rb send lamont there..and get a 4th or 5th pick
July 18th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
more like 7th but @ this point Id take 2 nickles & a stick of gum 4 jordan
July 18th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
I have to admit though, jordan was running hard for us untill he was hurt trying to do some back spin before he hit the hole
July 18th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
No team will part with a pick for Jordan. They all know he is getting released. A team might give up a project player though!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Funny Jordan was hurt every season!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
and everybody forgets that rhodes was looking like a beast in the preseason…
July 18th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
you know what LA Raiders? You got one helluva point there!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
ok how bout a tall can and a blunt roach
July 18th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Im trying to avoid the classic beer gut, so Im only drinking on sundays during games
July 18th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
But LaMont doesn’t have the huevos to be involved with the group of running backs we got now. Fargas has the heart/ RunDMC’s got the speed / Bush has the power, Dude all Lamont will bring is the band-aids and ben gay
July 18th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Yo LAR
no disrespect intended yesterday RAIDER ON playboy!!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

July 18th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I hope we dont go 4-0 during preaseason, that would be a very bad sign for us
July 18th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Damn stright 408. We can’t let LT and cry me a Rivers disrespect. Hopefully Kiff is learning to hate our rivals the way thier coaches and former coaches hate us
ie… Shannarat/Sh@tinhiemmer(Chargers & Chiefs)
July 18th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

Chile Relleno
I like the way your thinking bro…
July 18th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Can somebody cut Higgens?? please?? He has no heart. He is not aggresive, not a game-er and not a football player. iT IS VERY unlikely he ever will be where as we have some interesting wide receivers, a punt returner or two, and a need for roster/cap space. send him on his way.
July 18th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
He just had his confidence shook Ghost, He should be fine! I hope
July 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
really it was all year long, and with I think two droped punts,, I don’t know how to coach that, but I think kiff will do the right thing if it is his call during preseason… HIs backflips are pretty cool …maybe gemnastics?
July 18th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
But if he muffs another return then I say send him across the bay!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
the back flips are kick azz
July 18th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Maybe the circus vargas will pick him up for a 3rd rounder when they are in Oakland
July 18th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Or we could trade with them straight up for the bearded lady to show turd how to stop the run
July 18th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Figures crazy Al would sign Jackson one day and then turn around and cut him the next. He has totally lost it. I’m so sick of his crap.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Jackson was only signed to give justin Griffith breathers because Oneal had a hamstring injury. The dude had no shot of making the team
July 18th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Maybe crazy Kiff cut him
July 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Yeah, sure. Kiffin cut him. What are you, some kind of comedian? Either that or a naive fool.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Chill KoolKell, don’t kill the mellow vibe my friend
July 18th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Steve Cochran with all his un-biased wisdom has officially predicted the Raiders to finsh 3-13 !
Thats right, one game worse than last year!
One more year under Kiffin adding and paying for better players = apparently one fewer win !
our schedule is easier too…. HATER
I am sick of the blatant disrespect from NANCY GAY, BABERIRI and now COCHRAN….they all eat lunch togther and laugh at the Raiders Joke of a Franchise.
Gay has literally use the term “joke of franchise” in her article last year.
They need to stick where the sun dont shine!!!!!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Totally agree Eric! could you imagine how they would grill us if The whole Favre thing was happening to us?
July 18th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
And I’m surprised cause that kind of situation seems like it would happen to us! Or even the Mike Vick thing. Hopefully Al’s deal with the Devil he made long ago is almost up.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
C. Relleno
Al Davis would get all the Favre he could before starting a young QB.
Most NFL people prefer veteran QBS and Favre is a legend.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
the bearded lady… haha. well yeah they should take a real good look at him too. and with his contract wow… late cuts might be a huge blessing …adition by subtraction.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Jeremy Green and John clayton actually believe the Raiders will be not only better but fun to watch.
Its interesting to see the love and hate toward our Raiders.
like in NFL dot com…(writer) ‘VIC’- Actually still writing about Russell’s weight as something ” to keep an eye on in camp”
what a loser!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
HI~Ghost to Post
..the conversation wasnt about wanting Favre. Relleno was saying ” IF” we were in that position how the hating Media would cover the Raiders, if it was happening to us..
just to clarify..Russell is the man, we can all agree.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

Check it out Al just signed a legend! we don’t know where hell play but he ran a 3.5 40 dash!
Sorry bout that mods
July 18th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
gottcha bro.. Russell’s a kool kat. was talking about sands and higgins.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Russell is the man! The are gonna nickname our new aqusition “SHOW OF FORCE”
July 18th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
be sure to let these idiot writers who get their jollies by irritating the Fans, know how much they suck !
call Steve Cochran on his crap!
go read his articles and let me know when you find a good one!
Bay Area–softest sports fans ! and most vanilla full of themselves media ever!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
sorry ***THEY***are gonna>>> I have trouble tiping Y’s when I’m buzzed. AHHH!!see what I mean
July 18th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I actually think , farve would not be a bad move if money were no object. Which I think it is increasingly, and if the cap were’nt an issue, He would assist somewhat with russels development, win more games and sell a lot of tickets/win fans/ good press.. Greenbay is curently america’s team for one reason… which is quite a statement. But as it stands, no, they should’nt. and as the contracts/posible bargaining disruptions are developing I believe the organization really has it’s sights set on next year, 09, more so than this, or 10

chile -yes very excited bout chaz… just wow. perfect fit for russel, cant wait to see 80 yarder off a busted play with d linemen on the ground.. I am as excited bout pre season as regular… cept for mondaynight.. don’t care for the rat.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
The bad thing about Favre Ghost is if we were to sign him the media would jump all over it and they would shatter JRuss, They would report how Al doesn’t believe in him and how Al made the choice without speaking to Kiff about it and it would snowball ito a steaming crap heap. Imagine if Al and Favre did to JRuss what the Pack did to Aaron Rodgers? If this happened last year it would have been perfect, but we are one year to late for that gift.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Yeah the timing’s off. But I think the media thing would encourage Mr burns to sign him. Loves being right in the face ot the detractors.. I think that’s what makes the raiders asi.
July 18th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
LMAO Burns!
excellent! Smithers
July 18th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Well at least I garnered a title. Why do people think I’m arrogant?
Who’s list is this anyway?
July 18th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Congrats BHP! its an honor to be here with you
July 18th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
yeah pretty sure he gets his money through a tunnel to the reactor.ha
July 18th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
I think the name had an influence.. -no offense
July 18th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
I’m just a shy understated, humble raider fan, why would someone pick on lil’ ‘ol me?
July 18th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Hey Ghost:
we have a Minor League Baseball team in Albuquerque called the Isotopes and every time they hit a home run the crowd goes wild and over the sound system the play Mr.Burns saying “Excellent” man its funny stuff
July 18th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
raider on.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Thanks Chile! but the honor is all mine. You can bring it my frend.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
rich, me and my bro have been comparing him for years… maybe in the collesium. when we beat donkies.. no press is bad pres. it might be accompanied by the rat collapsing
July 18th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
The Rat is done! I think it was last thread that someone was saying they were at the Donk Raider game in Denver last year for the Timeout game and they saw the fear in the Donkey fans eyes. I saw it in 2006 even when the Bed and Breakfast offense was servin up cold waffles. I think they beat us 13-3, but when I was leaving the stadium I could hear the fans confidence was not very high. I mean everyone knew we weren’t very good and they squeeked that win out. it didn’t surprise me one bit that we almost swept them last year. We will this year though!
July 18th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Yeah, for all that I liked about gruden He always seemed to be just out coached by shany. kiff brought an autumn wind and the donks are jumping off the bridge.. Lets get loud when they come… a candy poster for cutler??
July 18th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Eveerybody be sure to wear black to that game, It’s a showcase for the Raider Nation to the Nation that the Raiders are on the come. And it will serve as an opening statement that the Black Hole is once again in effect.
Silver and Black domination and there’s nothing like it……………..period
