The official Raiders offseason thread

Here is my "wish list" this coming FA period.

1-Miami DT Christian Wilkins. He would perfect at 1 DT spot since we have a bunch of DT's (Nichols, Butler and do not say anything bad about "Ms Jenkins!") that are FA's. Crosby at DE with him (or Leonard Williams maybe?) at DT? Yikes. That would be very scary. I would absolutely love Chris Jones but doubt that happens.

2-Some OL help. It was not bad last season, some sites had them as a top 12 unit, but it could use a little help. Andre James is likely gone as a FA so Dylan Parham may need to slide over to C. And let Greg Van Roten walk, he played well but it may have been a mirage. He is a career journeyman. RT Jermaine Elu-alphabet is a FA and I say let him walk, too inconsistent for me. So we need some help on the OL either in FA or the draft or both.

3-Help at CB. Hobbs and Robertson are fine and I loved the emergence of Jack Jones but I think adding a guy like Stephon Gilmore or Steven Nelson would be very beneficial. Jakorian Bennett was inconsistent as a rookie so we need to add a veteran to the CB mix.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We bringing back C Andre James.

3 years and 24 mill.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Christian Wilkins to the Raiders.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Signed QB Gardner Minshew to a 2 year deal.

No chance to trade up in the draft so we will be looking at OT most likely.

[DJ Fieri]

CB Amik Robertson signed a 2 year deal with Detroit. That hurts our depth but Hobbs and Jones can start. Jones came on strong after Pierce was promoted.

But, we need to add some depth in FA or the draft.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Expected but I hate this. More cap space to get some more players.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Tre Tucker should benefit as the #3 receiver now.

Need to address the right side of the OL. Guard at least. We could go RT with the #13 pick.

Yep, DJ, Jimmy G is goneso and so is Hoyer, Renfrow, and Tillery. The Raidas could have picked-up Coleman Shelton as a Center/Guard but he is off to Da Bears for a one-year deal.

Expected those guys being released.

Most upset about Renfrow but it saves us 8.3mill.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We still have about 35 mill in cap space. We need to address the right side of the OL.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, looks like that will be taken care in the draft. No FAs out there worth signing at this point.

Bunch of OL still available.

G Kevin Zietler

T Tyron Smith

T Andre Dillard

are the best.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Maybe add another veteran CB.

 

[Retroram52]

Smith is a major liability for the money he is going to want and he is primarily a Left Tackle. Dillard is probably better for RT.

 

[DJ Fieri]

DT Adam Butler coming back on a 1 year deal.

He was 3rd on the team last season with 5 sacks.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Go get CB Nelson or Gilmore!!!!
