Marauders11 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Waiting on word about Plaxi-glass and I just heard that Burgess is gone to Oakland. That kind of sucks- Burgess was like "Freak-Lite" during the playoffs and looked like he was coming into his own. - Confirmation from KFFL: Raiders | Burgess Landed With Five-year Pact - from www.KFFL.com Sat, 12 Mar 2005 15:16:57 -0800 ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Oakland Raiders have reached a contract agreement with free agent DE Derrick Burgess (Eagles) on a five-year, $17.5 million deal. The contract includes a $6 million signing bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 'Bout time Oaklnad did something on the D-side. They could use Hartwell more than just about anyone, but I doubt they have that sort of cap room left. That would be toot sweet tho! I have Hartwell on my Dynasty team.

phenom Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 He!! yeah, I'm just as excited about this guy as the Randy Moss trade. I hope he didn't peak with his play in the playoff's. He really looked good especially against Atlanta containing Vick on the rollouts. Wow how did they sign this guy, I didn't think they had any more room under the cap..........

broncosn05 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Oakland is moving around more then last year. Norv Turner is a great coach right now IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyeaglesfly Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Okland just gave a guy that much money that missed part of last season and the two previous season with injuries. Oh by the way he failed is physical in Seattle two days earlier. Way too much money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I can't believe Philly let him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebartender Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I can't believe Philly let him go 733629[/snapback] GHopefully that is sarcasm. Although Burgess maybe a nice player, he hasn't been heathy for an entire season for the last three years. I would have liked to see the Eagles keep him for depth since McDougle doesn't seem to be the real deal and Hugh Douglas is basically done. Oakland gave him too much IMO.

But football is a talent acquisition sport. No team can pay those steep prices every year, but if the alternative is floundering around and doing without, it's better to strike and strike fast. The alternatives sometimes could be worse. They are known as losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
