Still happy.

Hyped when I saw this thread...then 27 per....but they'll move the money around to help fit others in....if needed. If we don't spend too much, they may fat cash him up front.

Ouch? For arguably the best center in the NFL? He'll anchor our o-line for years!! This is a great signing!!

You may have missed the memo where Raiders have to spend the money. Plus this makes Jeanty, Bowers, Mendoza all better..Unless you want to see Jordan Meridith back at center or resign Andre James..

So now draft a later round one like coogan and give him time develop?

YES!!!

No memos missed. Not mad. Was hoping 22-25 range no big deal. Not my money

We can afford it because we are not paying big dollars for the QB

$9M/yr more than the second highest paid C. We want to see pancakes.

If money is gonna be spent in a wad I'd rather it be on a non hoodrat offensive lineman over anything else. Former Example, Rodney Hudson

I think we can wait until next year. Linderbaum with 60 guaranteed, is basically a 2 year deal. We could extend after 2027.

Many more needs especially defensively.

....he's not the best center in the NFL, and that is even worse per year than I would have expected, but it is what it is.....he is a good player so welcome to the silver and black

Hes not elite as a blocker bur very good but the key is he has the mental abilkty to run Kubiaks line on the field which is invaluable. Its an overpay but i dont care he improves the offense dramatically

Yeah no one is upset with this. We just all want decent deals because we have so many holes to fill. I’m sure you gotta pay more to get a top FA to the worst team.

Extremely interested to see how it is structured.
