Let's just take all the fa's that only care about money and just send them to Oaktown right now. Suh is first up. Will the Pats give Revis $25M/yr? The Raiders will!

 

[cdyhybrid]

McCourty going to get paid.

By the Jags.

 

[friskykillface]

Pats tagged Gostkowski.

Gostkowski the god

Lol if both Revis and McCourtey leave




Raiders NWO time

 

[Wes]

If the Raiders actually spend some of that dough, do you think they could have a half decent season with Carr next year?

 

[Nemesis121]

So now the real JPP shows up. He is getting paid. How will he respond?

I hope he does, don't need another CJ2k, he got paid and became CJnoK..

Half decent for the raiders or the league?

Better than this year. Contenders? No, never works that way with a lot of free agents

no

Good to have Gostkoskski back, hopefully a long term deal with McCourty (and Revie pls) is announced soon.

McCourty rumored to Texans because of "connections" in 3...2....1..

 

[brentech]

Is Bulaga getting tagged or nah

We are all Tom Penny now

Wouldn't think so. He's only leaving if he's asking for far more than a guy with 2 years of actual playing experience (at a high level) would ask for. Thompson isn't cheap, he's reasonable.
We really shouldn't have a problem signing both Cobb and Bulaga so long as they don't want the world handed to them.

They have to spend money anyways because of the salary floor.

 

[jakncoke]

lol

but ye i dont see them competing next year, sucks to suck chan

 

[ampere]

Carr played pretty well give the situation, but he really could use a QB with experience to coach him. It's tough being a starter right away as a rookie.

 

[JABEE]

Dolphins transition tag TE Charles Clay at $7.071m per Adam Schefter

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Carr paired with Kevin White could be pretty cool. Not "make the playoffs" cool, but still!

 

[Himynameischris]

Transition tag placed on Charles Clay by the Dolphins, worth 7.071M

 

[Colasante]

Fucking Belichick. McCourty better not get to the open market.

 

[MRSA]

y'all just crazy Raiders can transition this season to 8-8 possibly with the additions of individuals who can actually catch and those that can run block. The defense really wasn't that much of an issue consider how much time they were on the field because of the 3 and outs of the offense. See Rams game, ya, they gave up 52 points but the offense scored 0. You can't win if your defense is on the field all day.

If this draft adds another 2 starters, then the Raiders have a solid foundation to build around with some FA additions.

Do the Hawks have anyone we could franchise? It would be disrespectful BUT it appears everybody's doing it so...

 

[Himynameischris]

Dolphins went all out and transition tagged someone, it's possible

 

[Draxal]

Suh has to go to the Raiders it'd be a perfect fit.

Just have to wait until Russells 72 million all guaranteed contract to be announced and we can have pages upon pages of discussions.

Tomsula to win him over.

I think they should. The Packers aren't going to spend that $30m in the open market. If Bulaga walks and they end up with over $10m in cap space I'll be real annoyed.

Transition tag placed on Charles Clay by the Dolphins, worth 7.071M

Huh, didn't see that coming. Hopefully he returns to 2013 form this season.

Hmmm premium Tinder, I wonder how my main squeeze BaeGhost feels about this...

Dang, Clay was one of the only guys I would've seriously considered the Packers going after.

 

[Draxal]

Tomsula to zip down his starter jacket and show off his chest hair.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Healthy Clay + Rodgers would be sexy.

 

[MRSA]

What do you give up for a transition tag? 2nd rounder?

 

[PhoenixDark]

I'd like to believe that Suh isn't just chasing the highest paycheck, and at least wants to go somewhere with at least a mirage's chance of winning.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer · 27s27 seconds ago
Transition tags have been used sparsely since the Steve Hutchinson/poison pill deal. Matching rights, no comp. Clay's tender is $7.071M.

Didn't the new CBA abolish the poison pill?

So the Raiders or Jags can come in and outbid the Dolphins?

Darrelle Revis and Devin McCourty are going to hit the open market. They're going to be paid an insane amount. The Patriots will be starting Malcolm Butler and Duron Harmon next season. Panic. In Bill We Trust.

You're going to make Logan a safety. I'm surprised he hasn't made the transition yet already.

 

[Colasante]

Yeah, that actually does seem like the next course of action. That'd be for the best.

Not conventional, but Titans have an opportunity to place Jurrell Casey / Ndamukong Suh / Leonard Williams on a DL w/ LeBeau's D. Scary

No. No. No.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

If the Raiders actually spend some of that dough, do you think they could have a half decent season with Carr next year?

All depends on the draft and FA. None of the top FAs wanted to come to Oakland last year with a lame duck coach in Dennis Allen and Schoob as the presumed starting QB.

This year they have an established HC in JDR and a legitimate QB in Carr.

Get Cobb, Hudson and a DL in FA. Probably Pot Roast. Suh seems like a pipe dream to me at this point, they'd really have to overpay him due to taxes in CA and for just being the Raiders, and I'd question his passion playing for a non-contender, I think he'd just collect his paycheck and call it in on Sundays. Could be wrong, but my gut says no.

Draft Amari Cooper or White in 1st round if no trade down, Get ILB in 2nd or best edge rusher and I think they could make a decent run. 8-10 wins.

 

[Draxal]

When he was at Rutgers he was considered Devin's clone.

We need one back. I understand if we can't have both, but we really need one of them.

You're going to make Logan a safety. I'm surprised he hasn't made the transition yet already.

Hmmm that isn't a bad idea. Same thing we did with Devin after his sophomore slump.

 

[BigAT]

When he was at Rutgers he was considered Devin's clone.

Great tackler too. One of the best CBs I have ever seen against the run.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Neat

 

[MRSA]

Okay so in a dream scenario, Raiders would sign:

Hudson, Pot Roast, McCourty, Orlando Franklin, Orange Julius, Nate Irvings, and Randall Cobb.

Should still have around 10 million including rookie cap space to play with.

I'd throw Brandon Spikes and Jerry Hughes into the mix as well. Nice players, not sure if Buffalo is keeping them.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

I'm glad we used the tag on Gostkowski. It's good to know he'll be back. Now we just need to sign Revis to a good, long term deal. If we can keep McCourty too I'll be extatic, but I know that it is very unlikely we'll keep both of them and Revis is the more important of the two.

Depends on Carr's progression. Raiders need solid additions along both lines and to get Carr some weapons though
