The Official 2011 Oakland Raiders offseason thread

mike bush is a restricted free agent with a 1st round tender on him. he isn't going anywhere unless another team wants to give up their 1st round pick next year.

 

[RAS 925]

good shit.. well we better get a contract worked out and get him on the field asap

 

[ArGenTin3]

btw guys we are still a better team than tha DONKS, DOLTS, QUEEFS.. off tops!! our D is still very well intact w/ the exception of losing Nnamdi ( isn't gonna hurt us, book it ).. yeah the Miller loss stings, but we finally gonna have a offense that will move the ball so I'm not too worried about things

howso? last time I checked ya'll finished 3rd in the division last season.

exactly. Nobody is giving up a first rounded for bush. He's not going anywhere

 

[corinthian]

denarius moore is yet another great draft steal by Al "GET OVA IT" Davis.

Thing is, I kinda wish someone would go after bush. 1st round picks are worth a lot more now with the new cba. having a salary cap and a limit on rookie contracts increased their value greatly.

 

[Meta4iCAL]

yeah, I wouldn't mind at all if we got a first rounder for him, but we won't... he hasn't put up enough stats to prove himself, and getting a DUI in the off season doesn't help

Ray Guy bankrupt, must sell Super Bowl rings

Every year, the best punter in college football receives the Ray Guy Award. But sadly, the namesake for that trophy is selling off the rings that commemorate his contribution to three Oakland Raiders teams that won Super Bowls.

Nate D Sanders Auctions is taking bids on the rings from Super Bowls XI, XV and XVIII that Guy is being forced to part with after declaring bankruptcy.

SportsCollectorsDaily.com says the rings have a combined anticipated value of $75,000-$90,000, but the high bid at 4 p.m. Wednesday was $19,194.

Guy, 61, was a seven-time Pro Bowler for the Raiders during his 14-year career. He filed for bankruptcy last year and was authorized in May to sell the rings, according to Bloomberg. The auction ends Aug. 9.

Boss knows Waufle from Giants days, just needs to pass physical here and agree on some numbers with Davis

 

[ArGenTin3]

true. but who ended up with the better overall record still?

 

[MaC A$$ ViC]

its a new year though. new looks on our team, starting with our head coach. i havnt kept up with any other teams in the division though so i cant speak on your team. this year will be a battle for the ages.

 

[Jack Tracks]

Boss is in Napa as we speak and working out for the team. He'll be signed tonight! Very stoked about this

 

[Meta4iCAL]

Good shit, way to go Al!

 

[5-Dime NwK]

Boss looked good on the work out. If the Raiders sign him it will be a nice "Fuck you, Zach" that we all want.
I liked Zach Miller but that's past tense. Fuck em.

Free agent OT Mario Henderson lost a potential contract with the Raiders when he showed up out of shape.
Henderson had agreed to a one-year, $1.7 million contract as a reserve tackle, but that was nullified for being overweight at his physical. He's not good enough to tell opportunity to go away when it knocks.

 

[corinthian]

miller got greedy and went to hold hands with tommy boy in seattle. BOSSMAN will fill in nicely.
