kpholmes Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Kerry Collins gets the boot. Edit: KFFL reported as well- Janie McCauley, of the Associated Press, reports the Oakland Raiders released QB Kerry Collins in a move to get them below the salary cap by Sunday night's deadline, March 5. By cutting Collins, the Raiders will save $9.2 million against the salary cap once bonuses are factored into the figures.

Raider.Nation Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Cheers if this is true... Hello Vince Young, Jay Cutler, or Matt Leinart. Whichever one falls, I really hope Davis gets a brain and takes a QB round 1. Unless there's something I'm not seeing at practice with Walter, we need help....!

Take AJ Hawk or Demario Williams. We need more help on D. Davis has never spent a first rounder and probably never will. He likes his QBs with experience. Expect him to take a good look at Aaron Brooks, Tommy Maddox, ect... If we can manage the cap room that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider.Nation Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Brooks has Raider silver n' black written all over him.... 1353120[/snapback] I wouldn't mind that so much. As far as having to trade up to get one of the rooks. I don't think we would have to. With the Jets re-signing Pennington why would they spend a top 5 pick on another QB. I don't think Pennington's the answer, but why re-structure his contract if he wasn't in their minds? IMHO. They just need someone who can move and make some plays like Gannon did. Put someone like Brooks in there, who can move in the pocket and sling'em down field that'd be fine by me. That's what they have Moss/Porter for, to make plays!

kpholmes Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Agreed, I would be very happy with Aaron Brooks. The Jets re-signing Pennington could be a sign they have decided to go after D'Breckishaw, meaning one of the studly 3 will fall to Oakland. I still say pass and go with Demario or AJ Hawk as long as San Fran or GB hasn't snatched em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I'm surprised about considering they do have Kampman and KGB. Either way, if OAK takes Hawk/Williams it's a win-win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Collins looks like he is heading striaght to Balitmore. They will try to win now. And Boller just shows flashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Collins is the better QB , just not sure he would be in this Raider situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Brooks has Raider silver n' black written all over him.... 1353120[/snapback] Been sayin' that for quite awhile. Perfect fit. Well, sort of a different usage of "perfect", but you get my drift. I think they're drafting A.J. Hawk to go alongside Morrison and Clark.

kpholmes Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yea, Collins is the better gunslinger. But Brooks has the mobility that Gannon was successfull with, being able to move in the pocket, or out of it to try and make a play. Brooks would fit in well with the rest of the offense already being in place. Schefner reports Jets will make a run at Jon Kitna. Meaning I wouldn't expect them to pass on a QB this draft...
