The Official 2011 Oakland Raiders offseason thread
- Thread starter Defy
- Start date
Niners try and get Nnamdi, so Raiders go after Goldson. Jets go after Nnamdi, Raiders go after Cromartie.
I think Al Davis is trying to force these teams to spend some money if they want to try and take Nnamdi away.
If Nnamdi goes to the Niners it really wont matter much. Niners need a lot more than a CB to win games. They need to save money to try and sign Frank Gore, who plans on holding out.

they are negotiating a long term deal with wimbley also, to free up some cap space.

The Raiders want to be an active player in free agency, but they’ll have to clear some salary-cap space first. That means re-working contracts, with LB Kamerion Wimbley at the top of their list.
Wimbley has a franchise tag worth $11.3 million for 2011, and a league source said the Raiders are deep into negotiations on an extension that would slash his 2011 cap figure and spread his earnings over future years.
The Raiders and Cowboys were two teams in most peril in regards to the cap, but Dallas has made several cuts and freed up ample space, and also could clear even more with some simple restructurings.

Updating previous items, the Raiders have not released CB Chris Johnson or RG Cooper Carlisle.
NFL Network erroneously reported that the two players had been released, but both took part in training camp practice on Thursday. They may be cut later on, though. Both have relatively large salaries in comparison to their recent production levels. In Oakland, of course, they're both penciled in as starters.
