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

It is a little past 8 eastern.

Is Spytek sleeping?

He needs to earn his paycheck.

Yep, the basics are out there. If Spytek gets more commits than expected, they can structure these deals around the commitments they''ve made. Linderbaum for example 3-81 60 guaranteed. We have time to figure out hot to pay it out, dependent on other commitments we get. The signing bonus can go from 15-30(for example) depending on how much money we need.

No, I think this is the best first day. At least for the Raiders

It changes fast don't it? Start winning and then you have deep playoff runs going through the noggin. Why not us? Look at the pats.

The NFL has enough movement and variables in play during the off season, if you make logical moves which typically correlate to the fan-base consensus, you have people thinking and hoping once again. Last year it was Pete and Chip, man they are a lot better than Pierce and Co, that has to mean more wins and if enough wins we're in the playoffs.

If you make logical moves, you will have the base follow you.
All teams make many players changes each year and that's not exclusive to the Perennials.
Most sports have become this and that is a good thing, unless you are the team at the top.

I know I’m in the bread line asking for toast, but I’d love to see another free agent on the offensive line.

And then, pound the draft for more of them. As Maxx would say, “More is required!”. At least a RT and a solid G.

Signing everyone for three years tells me there is a plan. Also they are all young guys with a look to the future with upside talent.

I'm sure we will bring in a college kicker and let them battle it out. This is for more of the insurance route
