Great news that Bush is back......and I'm actually OK with DMC being injured in the preseason just so Taiwan can be given some more touches. I've been hearing about Ranking & Cartwright getting touches but not Taiwan Jones, and I know those are 2 vets over a rookie but it still got me scratchin my head
Raiders sign wash up WR, Chad Jackson.
He crushed the hands competition back in the days in 2006.
New England Patriots (2006–2007)
Denver Broncos (2008–2009)
Buffalo Bills (2010)* Practice Squad
Omaha Nighthawks (2011)* Practice Squad
Oakland Raiders (2011–present)
I guess we need depth at WR with Murphy, Ford and the undrafted rookie tearing his achilles.

lol... It's pretty simple Esco - Cable pulled a move on us. He did it on purpose and sold the Seahawks on giving him a crazy contract that the Raiders couldn't match. No way Al wanted to let Zach go. But his hands were tied and Cable knew it.
Cable and Al have flat out beef. Add him to the list of Shannahan and the others that will leave the Raiders on bad terms and end up successful.
Miller is a top 5 TE in the league and it's a loss, no question about it. But, signing Boss goes along way to negate it.
lulz... Al thought he was signing Chad Johnson

Raiders CB Stanford Routt has restructured his three-year, $31.5 million contract.
With the Raiders over the salary cap, Routt reallocated "the majority" of his $10 million 2011 base salary into a roster bonus. As payback, the Raiders added two years to his deal and bumped its total value to an incredible $54.5 million. It's unclear if new guaranteed money was added to the contract, but Stanford Routt is now the NFL's third highest paid cornerback. Yes, Stanford Routt.
LMFAO

I'm pretty sure the guaranteed money is the same. so now it's 20 mil stretched out over 5 years instead of 3 years. if we end up having to cut routt, that will help us immensely with the cap. on the other hand, if routt plays well, then we just locked him up on the cheap in the long run. you have to remember that soon teams will be forced to spend 95% of the cap. so contracts will be getting bigger.
