Snowden waived during mini camp

[ELCAraiderfan]

Don't see anything about this. Was surprised to see his name on Raiders transactions waived.

[Viper]

He had options. If I had options I'd probably choose to gtfo too

He gave up 5 minutes before the miracle

[GoodTimeCharlie]

Snowden was/is mid........no loss here. Raiders are heading north

Exactly. As important as a thread arguing over the best kitchen sponge.

That Edge room is clearing out quick. Down to Crosby, Paye, Koonce, Crawford as penciled in for the 53. Wonder if Snowden asked for the waiver, given the numbers. I think we signed 4 of the camp invitees, which means cutting 4, but no way Snowden does not make it to TC without a reason.

I could or mb even am completely wrong but don’t they sign all camp invitees to a 3 yr contract, it has a lot of clauses and things that make it so they can be cut at any time so it’s not a guaranteed contract.

I think he got cut for leaking inside information

[NoThanksSir]

Or they could have let Koonce walk and saved $10m.

Seahawks had mediocre players in spades that built a pass rush that was better as a whole than it's parts. I don't hate Koonce"s deal, I was sheepish on it to start but I'm not convinced there were better options on the table for a 1 yr deal.

The rook just picked up a ton of snaps.

[RunOverByHubbard]

The loss of Snowden is mitigated by the rise of Tyree Wilson. Wait a second — I have to move on from this dead horse.

The Superbowl winning Seahawks (with our new coach) and the National Champion Indiana Hoosiers (with our new QB) were both much stronger (talent-wise) than the sum of their parts.

From what we've seen so far this off-season, the Raiders are attempting to build the roster with the same approach.

Well executed

...I do property inspections, and I did one one time ifor a guy who worked for 3 m, and I get to the property's an hour prior to scheduled time to do the exterior, to review that with then when they show up at the scheduled time. ....I see him and his wife walking up to the place, and then out past them, I see 5 large packages stacked on the tool box on the back of my truck. ...turns out it was 5 cases of those, 2 of the wavy style, and 3 of the rectangular type. .....remember at the time thinking I had a 'lifetime supply', but after giving a dozen or so to each neighbor, etc, i'm down now to less than 20.
...I also remembering at the time, oping my next client worked for labatt......

Snowden got snaps ahead of Tyree Wilson last season. Tyree is gone and Snowden's path to more snaps is probably gone with him after the additions of Paye and Crawford. Our new DC was Snowden's position coach for several years..... that ought to tell you a bit about what they think of Snowden's potential.

[Danchinho]

Does that give us more salary headroom if we want to go after another player in free agency?

[mstrbass2000]

Wish we would’ve retained Chaisson, he was more talented than Koonce and Snowden both

agreed 100 pct "chaisson was a keeper" koonce has showed flashes but has been trash since the injury, he will be gone too if he doesn't show a lot more this yr

raiders r giving him a chance to get back to his pre injury self, teh 12 million 1 yr deal is a prove it type deal that doesn't hurt us in the future if he still stinks
