The Official Oakland Raiders 2012 Offseason Thread
- Thread starter MaC A$$ ViC
- Start date
With no money and no draft pics how are we gonna field a defense?
I dont think hines ward will come to oakland cause we aint got shit to pay him. Hes dirty though, definetly would fit in as a raider, i could see him and murphy getting along.
As for moss going to the niners, I could care less, cause smith cant go deep. Hopefully he is a crybaby in the locker room like he was here once he knew playoffs were out of the question.

Raiders starting right guard Cooper Carlisle and defensive tackle John Henderson were cut by Oakland Wednesday, with Henderson failing his physical.
Carlisle, a starter for the past four years, was due $3.3 million in salary and his release saves a reported $2.1 million against the salary cap. Henderson was due $4 million in salary.
The Raiders could move to bring back Carlisle at some point, given his experience with the zone blocking system which will be re-introduced this season under offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and line coach Frank Pollack.
The moves give the Raiders maneuverability should they attempt to sign free agents. Oakland's room under the $120.6 million salary cap was an NFL low $636,000 at one point according to ESPN, although those figures remain fluid as contracts are jettisoned or restructured.
In other news, unrestricted free agent running back Michael Bush has reportedly lined up visits with the Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears.
