Why would we over pay a punter when we have a bunch of more needs and no salary cap room? Especially considering we have a young punter with a big leg waiting on his turn

Raiders have interest in Mike Jenkins
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
According to a source, the Oakland Raiders have expressed interest in free agent cornerback Mike Jenkins.
Jenkins, a 2008 Cowboys first-round pick, has been to one Pro Bowl, and was a main starter during his time in Dallas.
Last year when the Cowboys signed Brandon Carr to a five-year $50.1 million deal and selected Morris Claiborne in the first round, it made Jenkins expendable.
Jenkins played last season as a backup and had three pass breakups.
At the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones offered praise for Jenkins.
"Jenkins is very capable, I think a good cornerback," Jones said. "We happen to be pretty committed relative to the rest of our roster. We have to be pretty committed at cornerback. Under a different circumstances, Jenkins might be a little different story for us right now. He would be a different story right now, he certainly wouldn't be out of our radar as far as having him of bringing him back as a starter. I think Jenkins is a starting cornerback in the NFL.

Tracy Porter on Raiders radar | ProFootballTalk
Tracy Porter on Raiders radar
Posted by Josh Alper on March 25, 2013, 3:19 PM EDT
Over the weekend, there was word that the Raiders were interested in free agent cornerback Mike Jenkins.
The Cowboy vet isn’t the only player on their radar at the position. Bill Williamson of ESPN.com reports that the team has shown interest in Tracy Porter as well.
Porter played just six games for the Broncos last season after suffering a seizure in the preseason and then experiencing similar symptoms during the year. He finally made it back to the lineup, but suffered a season-ending concussion in the final weeks of the regular season. Denver hasn’t shown much interest in bringing him back, but Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald did report that the Dolphins have inquired about Porter, who played for Raiders coach Dennis Allen when both were in New Orleans.
Porter, like Jenkins, is the kind of modest acquisition that the Raiders have been concentrating on making this offseason. Those moves might have been necessitated by the salary cap, but Oakland could have used more players like this on a defense that struggled all of last season.

Man, Palmer is such a fucking BITCH for this shit. This team gave up so much to get you. You were sitting at home looking at retirement and a team gave you more then deserved and you didn't prove yourself at all when it was time and now it comes to help the team financially and you bust a bitch ass move. Dudes a fucking loser.
If I was Reggie I would cut every single player on that roster that he didn't sign or draft and start from scratch, he needs to put his own imprint on the Raiders. Most of the players on the Raiders still have the mentality of the old regime. It's time for cats to start earning their pay check, make a competitive environment where no one feels they are free to do as they please and come Sunday they still have a job as a starter with a pay check to go a long.
