^ i think moore's out there too. they all working hard this offseason, our offense is going to be on point!

what do you guys think of the idea of signin TO to the vet minimum to be the vet for these young guys? i wouldnt want him to steal reps from any of the other guys. but he still has some gas left in the tank

I think it would be a good look, but Reggie would never sign that guy.

TO is bad news, but I dont mind our young recievers practicing with him cause I bet he still has hands

If the Raiders signed T.O., he's going to want to play. I can't see him ridin' the bench just to be a mentor to the younger guys.

actually TO is broke so if noone signs him to be a starter i could see him signing somewhere to be a mentor just to make a paycheck.

That and he has a tremendous work ethic that could rub off on them

so i guess we traded for mike goodson RB from the panthers. he was the odd man out since they signed tolbert, with stewart and williams staying. heard he has a fumble problem, but from the looks of it dude is solid underrated especially playing with those 2 guys.

Breaking: the #Raiders trade OL Bruce Campbell for #Panthers RB Mike Goodson.

Raiders trade Campbell for veteran running back

By Steve Corkran
Friday, March 30th, 2012 at 12:41 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Former Carolina Panthers running back Mike Goodson just Tweeted that he has been traded to the Raiders. One report said the Raiders traded offensive lineman Bruce Campbell in exchange for Goodson.
The Panthers just confirmed the deal. A Raiders official said via text that the deal is official.
Goodson, 6-feet and 212 pounds, entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick of the Panthers out of Texas A&M. He rushed for 501 yards on 125 carries the past three seasons as a seldom-used backup. He also caught 43 passes for 329 yards and averaged 21.7 yards on kick returns.
He is in the final season of his original contract, which calls for him to earn $615,000 this season. If the deal occurred, as Goodson said, Goodson is expected to compete with Taiwan Jones, Lonyae Miller and Rashawn Jackson for the backup spot to starter Darren McFadden.
That spot came open when Michael Bush bolted in free agency for a contract with the Chicago Bears.
Goodson started only three of the 28 games he played in the past three seasons. He played in only four games last season and finished the year on injured-reserve.
Campbell was a fourth-round pick of the Raiders in the 2010 NFL draft. They had high hopes for him as a potential fixture on their offensive line.
However, Campbell failed to materialize into a dependable player and played only sparingly both seasons. He appeared in 14 of 32 games the past two seasons, with no starts.
In other news, Adam Caplan reported that East Carolina offensive tackle Stephen Baker is scheduled for a pre-draft visit with the Raiders in April.

hope goodson plays well for us....dont know much about him

 

[PsyDaL]

Picked up LB philip wheeler from the colts. 1yr contract has size of kameron wimbley and has put up decent numbers. Another bargain pickup....

 

[REACHTMO]

Nice. starting to gain the depth we've been craving.

I wonder how camp is gonna be this year now that als passed. Is it still gonna be all secretive and shit or will they allow a little more media coverage

 

[corinthian]

I really like that wheeler signing, I think he's a better lb than wimbley. only advantage kam had, is that he could play as a pass rushing DE on third downs.

 

[radiostationrep]

Reggie bringing in football players, it is a sight for sore eyes....

Did you forget to wear your helmet on the bus yesterday Lil fella?

 

[Rusto]

Damn, what a difference a GM makes.

 

[corinthian]

Did you forget to wear your helmet on the bus yesterday Lil fella?

kam got paid for his ability to get at the qb in passing situations. our linebacking corps was horrible with him in it, so what exactly are you having problems with, mija?

wheeler had 84 tackles in 13 games last season, kam had 63 in 16.

 

[WXS STOMP3R]

DAMN SOUNDS LIKE THE RAIDERS ARE ACTUALLY SOLIDYFYING THEIR LINE UPS, WITH SOME SOLID PLAYERS.

 

[MaC A$$ ViC]

lol i cant wait for a lot of disappointments from other teams next year when we handing business

 

[corinthian]

these moves reggie has been making have put the team in position to draft value over need. he filled all the holes that were left after losing players to free agency and cuts. now he can just focus on taking the best available players instead of worrying about finding players for specific positions.
