tazinib1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I must say, this is probably the best move the Raiders have done this year. Even though I believe TE Miller is a tangible part of the offense and they now stand a strong chance of losing him via FA, tagging perhaps one of the best OLB's in the NFL was more than likely the smartest thing to do. Wimbley comes with a $10million cost to the Raiders budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Eh. Kam had a great season with the Raiders, but $10M is a bit steep imo. The only reason he's been franchised is because there were problems with his $3M buyback option. (It violated the 30 percent rule). Raiders also signed Stanford Routt to a three year, $31M contract. A bit steep, but Routt DOES have one of the best pass defense percentages in the AFC, so I'll take it. Zach is now a question, and Nnamdi is out the door.

kpholmes Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 GO AL!!!! I don't think either of the moves are that horrible to be honest. We find a way to bring back two of Zach, Gallery and Huff and we've had a great off season imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've done the best they could, given the situation... But I'm not sure you can lose a HOF caliber player at his prime and call it great.

Oakland couldn't afford to sit around and let players like Seymour, Wimbley and Routt walk away while they were waiting for FA signing to begin - could they? Especially if there was a chance Nnamdi wouldn't be resigning anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sounds like Zach wants to stay: “It does feel good,” Miller told Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune. “It’d be great to be back in Oakland. I really feel like we’re headed in the right direction with Hue Jackson and the way things are going. We had preliminary discussions [on a contract] before deadline and I’m sure they’ll pick up again once there’s a CBA in place and we get back to business.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...ned-by-raiders/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
