Don’t forget they signed Parham too. Jets looking for that 1st pick secret sauce.DeathStar24 wrote: Sun Aug 30, 2026 4:50 pm First Geno now Meredith. They must have their eyes set on someone at #1 in the draft.
Just think, 2 years ago we had Davante Adams, Jakobi Myers, and Hunter Renfrow but some f[raiders_icon]cking clown of a HC destroyed that roster.LayneStaley wrote: Sun Aug 30, 2026 9:12 pm
Man I’m not feeling good about this group, hope I’m wrong.
We need to be a successful run first team to give our QBs a chance. Seems Kubiak is devoted to the old school style with a fullback. This team isn’t talented enough to play behind the sticks and if we see a lot of 3rd and longs this year it’s not gonna be pretty.16 to 88 wrote: Sun Aug 30, 2026 11:25 pm We are going to be a run first team. It's a staple of Kubiak's offense thus the reason for quarterbacks being under center at one of the highest rates in the league. Everything will work off of the run. If... if we are a dominate run team it will cure so many ills including but not limited too having to work out of more short yardage passing situations with the defense not knowing if you are handing the ball off again.
Also, missing from that list is the single most important receiver on our team in Bowers, who they will move all over the field along with Mayer and the wideouts putting them in motion which he also uses at one of the highest rates in the NFL to force defenses to declare there coverages and create mismatches. Making all of this work is Kubiak's specialty putting defenses in a bind forcing them to commit to the run first and causing havoc with all the different formations.
We have a brutal schedule from an opponent standpoint so this will be a very interesting year to see just where we are at competitive wise more so than win-loss. One could argue the NFC west is a tougher division than the AFC west but there is no room for doubt they are both incredibly competitive. When you add in meetings with the bills and pats 11 out of our 17 games are against the best of the best in the entire NFL. Won't surprise me in the least if we see Fernando just before the bye or right after it.
Correct.KillerRaider30 wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 6:28 am So the Raiders who select 1 in the waver wire can select as many players as tbey want and get them all because they are putting in claims for players who are available.
Its not like the draft where #1 claims first. #2 claims second waiting for the other 31 teams to claim before the Raiders claim again.
Is this correct?
But what is the time frame? They can’t hold the whole process up for the League while they discuss options right?KillerRaider30 wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 6:28 am So the Raiders who select 1 in the waver wire can select as many players as tbey want and get them all because they are putting in claims for players who are available.

we lack high upside downfield threats and have a bunch of wr3 types at wrraidersince63 wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 6:07 am Thornton has the size and speed to be a deep threat and evidently, the Raiders must see something that some others don't.

You make a claim for the player before the required time (I believe it's 2:00 ET the day after the player is waived). Any player you're awarded (in our case, any player we claim because we are first), is then on your roster and you have to make space for that player that day by letting someone else go.RunOverByHubbard wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 6:56 am But what is the time frame?

same, might make it back to practice squad ...kid needs more supplements and training to get biggerJRaider17 wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 7:26 am Disappointed we did not keep Sloan. He may not turn out to be great by any means, but the move reminds me of when we cut Drake Thomas. He was undrafted and showed flashes and potential at a spot we aren't necessarily strong at.
Being a pass rusher, we definitely should've been able to find a spot.
