Raiders offseason thread

[Retroram52]

You lost a really good OT from the 1976 squad that won the Snooperbowl. John Vella died. Played with people like George Atkinson, Ken Stabler, Otis Sistrunk, Phil Villapiano, Art Shell, John Matusak, Dave Dalby, Willie Brown, and Cliff Branch. That was some badass team.

This move surprised me.

Carroll must have a plan. At least, I hope he does.

Jones I hear is headed over the hill to the Rams.

Dart is making the rounds. Raidas is one of the teams he is visiting. Geeants is another.

So Far, the Raidas draft is rated A.

Agreed. A very good draft so far......

Your Round Three was pretty Stout. Tommy's influence is lookin pretty evident.

That looks outstanding!

It's not too shabby....Mostert as a backup is a good idea since he is injury prone and it gives us speed galore at RB with Jeanty who I like and think he can be a receiver out of the backfield as well as a runner.

Meyers is a #2 and that is prolly Bech's ceiling as well. We lack a true #1 with Tucker being a speedy #3. But, Bowers at TE is the real lynchpin of the offense and Mayer is a solid #2 RW.

I envision a lot of 2 TE sets.....

Geno is a solid vet QB but I hope he rebounds to 2023 Geno and not 2024 Geno.

We shall see.

Can we have Jakobi back?

Can we have Jakobi back?

No, he is the only veteran we have.....

Greedy ass......you got Stefon Diggs this offseason. LOL.

PS: Plus Mack Hollins.

Def the house that Tommy and Petey built and it looks pretty formidable on both sides of the ball.

It's a work in progress.....not expecting a whole lot next season but in 2026 after another FA and draft?

We should be able to fight for a wild card berth maybe.
