Free Agency thread for Raiders and league-wide
Free agency opens March 11. CBS Sports has their top 50 ranking. No Raiders on the list. I am surprised at a couple rated high - Aaron Rodgers and Daniel Jones. Lots of wide receivers

151 million
The amount of dead money against the salary cap the Dolphins have in 2026. Miami is spending more than half of the $301.2 million cap on players who will not play for the team next season. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s release will create an NFL-record $99.2 million in dead money, with $67.4 million owed next season after he is designated as a post–June 1 release. Other players who contribute to the tally include Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, who were both released by the Dolphins this offseason.

My bad. I thought he was a Buckeye. Oh well..... Won't be the last time I'm wrong.

Plus he was a 6th round pick. What do you want from a 6th?Dr Death wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 7:36 pm Laube has nothing to do with why the Raiders suck.
The Raiders suck because they draft like shit. He wasn't a bad pick... he just hasn't had good coaching or a real HC since he's been here. He kicked ass at Ohio State. Blame the employer... not the employee.

Pff has him overall ranked in top quarter of all OGs. 36 years old, so he could be a nice stopgap while Rogers is developed and backup the inevitable JPJ injury.

Regardless of the Crosby situation this has been a successful free agent run for the Raiders.

Something at least. He brings nothing. Can't catch block or run the ball and is a horrid return man. Should have been dumped long agoraider_kin wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 7:51 pm Plus he was a 6th round pick. What do you want from a 6th?

If you go back and look at the 6th and 7th rounds of the 2024 draft...... there's nothing there. Laube meets the basic expectations of a 6th round pick in bringing nothing to the team. You hope for more, but he's what you expect.

I don’t care on misses in Rds 5-7. But earlier picks should be value added to your roster.

Well the electrical substation couldn't make his injury issues any worse could it?

Mini version of DK Metcalf. At first glance you’d think he was a LB. Kubiak is definitely familiar with him and more than likely special teams.
