Sign Champ & C. woodson to 2 yr deals...draft a bunch of young bucks on both D-Line and 2ndary ...Groom them while they learn

Hayden's issue is correctable. I expect it to be largely gone by the time season begins. He's a smart guy, learning to turn your head the right direction + time shouldn't take him long to figure out. Plus he now has experience with NFL speed, and that goes a long way I think.

“@blkman35: and next????” >> dinner, talk to kid, beers and then plug back in … Texans DL Antonio Smith 1st up with visits Friday. #Raiders

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Antonio Smith would be a very solid pick up. Reggie revving up the engine on this rebuild finally if he gets Smith in Silver and Black

 

[HNL HI]

Some players under 30 would be cool too Reggie!

 

[albooboo]

Tomorrow we focus on the secondary and maybe sign another D linemen.

@Daviidd33 Melton is in Minnesota tonight. Let’s see if he gets out of there. Raji also on #Raiders radar

Lets hope Melton gets out of Minnesota without a contract.

Just came to post this. I'm glad we didn't try to trade with Tampa to get at Penn. It was he was headed for release. Now let's sign him and continue doing work on the trenches. Day 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Day 1

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Hahahaha. I remember writing early in this season thread that I thought Reggie should find older vets for the defense in free agency, since DA is a defensive coach and would want players who are ready for NFL speed.

Uh oh! @JustinTuckNYG91 I'm a have my pen and pad! I need all the #SackSecrets lol

 - Reggie building a nice foundation for our young bucks!!! Nice that our player are excited too ...

One more thing. A lot of people asking about #Raiders being in mix for TE Brandon Pettigrew but he hasn’t visited.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Brandon Pettigrew? I'd rather let Mychal get his burn.

 

[kingofne]

great day to be a Raider

i love what we are doing!!! building the team around the trenches! pressure the QB and protect our QB, if McFadden can stay healthy and have a breakout year....... Playoffs?????

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Lets see the roster in July before we even think about playoffs

 

[kingofne]

i agree, i'm excited....

Unless we have Jesus Christ at QB, I don't think we should be thinking about playoffs.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

We still have at least another 7 8 positions that need to be upgraded before we even think about playoffs, especially with next year's schedule.

I agree, i like Rivera alot ...but Pettigrew gives us another RZ big target ...

 

[HNL HI]

So if we sign Big Penn, Jared Allen is definitely out right?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I don't think Jared Allen is a good option for us regardless. If he's stating that he needs to see the right $ amount to even keep playing then I don't want someone like that on the team.

Unless we have Jesus Christ at QB, I don't think we should be thinking about playoffs.

I agree

 

[kingofne]

Jesus as QB

   I dunno, if we can build a great D and have a top 5 run game, all we need is McGloin, or whoever the QB will be to mange and not mess it up.
