A new Tony Gonzales or Antonio Gates in the AFC West?

Or…..

Another Ricky Dudley and Teyo Johnson.

Hopefully there won’t be any more I drafted/signed him and I am going to hold on to him – - no matter what.

It makes sense now. Don’t know why I was downvoted for not knowing something. That’s just…weird.

Al Davis is dead and so is the team. Who is this guy leading your sorry team? Another one year wonder in the biggity dump know as Oaktown.

My comment didn’t make the cut… but this one did?

Al Davis may have passed on, but at least he and the Raiders have lived. A team that has never even been alive can’t technically die, so you got us there, PantherPro. We’ll be back shortly, you’ll… have to be here first.
Hilarious. You guys trip and fall into Cam Newton and now all of a sudden every wasted pick and wasted season is forgotten! btw: You wanna see into Newton’s future? Look at Julius Peppers’ past.
You’re in a dead end town and a dead end state. Accept it with a little grace and as always… stay classy, Carolina.

What a trainwreck of a franchise. Mushmouth is doing his best I suppose, but still. It’s like minor league football going on here.

slickster35 will be in the witless protection program the first time mushmouth beats his Queefs, and it will be soon. Pack your bags, hack.

Have to love the upside of this move and the non-risk factor. Hope he has soft hands, thats what would make him special. Still wouldnt be suprised to see them add another TE or 2 , maybe a veteran maybe a draft pick / undrafted FA, guarenteed they will add another though .

Are raiders really going to go into the season with 4 TE?
————

Clearly no nothing about foootball, in actuality during camp Oakland will have more like 6-8 TE’s then they will slim down accordingly through this thing called pre-season … and using camp bodies and lobbying for a guy maybe to make the practice squad.

Reggie took this kid because #1, he doesn’t have to use a draft pick, or pay him anything, just see how he does, 0=risk and lights a fire under the 3 TE’s in front of him.

#2 because his measurements are of a TE caliber set in the NFL.

Would be surprised if he made the roster.

Every time there is an article about the Raiders you are there to show your hate. I can’t stand the Chiefs. Broncos, and Chargers but I don’t troll on their articles looking to stir it up. Reggie hasn’t been in Oakland long enough for you to judge him the way you do. Give the guy a chance, he inherited a mess and it looks to me like he is doing a pretty good job in his first few months. Do us all a favor and give it a rest.

So he’s free to sign with whomever he wishes. You haters will eventually have to accept the fact that the Raiders are not the team of old. Things are changing for the better in Oakland. Get used to it.

Similar to when the White Sox signed Michael Jordan.

I was shocked when I saw this article and the Raiders not giving up a draft pick, then I realized Al Davis is no longer here. RIP Al Davis I will always respect the fact you did things your way without caring what anyone else thought. That’s a true leader right there.

Al Davis will always be a legend, but this new course is very refreshing.

If I had to say which of the Raiders’ TEs actually start this year, its probably Myers or Ausberry. Myers has the experience, but I really like Ausberry’s potential.
