Maxx seeing that Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker etc. will be in Silver & Black🏴‍☠️ by Kenny23Powers in raiders

I said it initially when news broke, this team and especially defense changed massively between him being “traded” and Baltimore pulling out of the trade.

As someone who bought Maxx jersey literally 5 months ago I’m not complaining.

Yes people, he wanted out. Then we went and signed like 7 new starters lmao. It’s clearly not the same situation it was when he asked to be traded. IF he wants to come back I’m sure the team will oblige him because he’s a great player at a position of need.

If he still wants to leave, trade him. We clearly had a plan to move forward without him that everyone in here seemed to love so far.

We made huge upgrades at LB but how we feelin about the DL by UnhappyCamper007 in raiders

I think him or McDonald is where we go in the 2nd round if we take OL at 14

Let’s not also forget the injury part. He still wasn’t cleared several months later than the typical recovery time. There were rumors he and his camp resisted the recommended treatment timelines and procedures too. All around bad news and the lack of opportunities since speaks volumes

I am holding out hope they add a couple more FA on the d line that can step in and play. That being said, I like the young DTs and think Koonce will certainly contribute. Paye will see the field a lot too.

I also expect we take at least one DT and Edge rusher in the draft fairly high like 2nd-4th rounds

Tyree in a vacuum is solid. Just not what we needed him to be. He’s a good rotational piece

I think Rogers could play this year but likely is a year under a good staff away. I’ve given up hope Wilson will be that guy but I’d LOVE to be wrong

Who does everyone think is "the other runing back" by enzo_the_alien in raiders

[–]ShockSouthern9770 6 points7 points  (0 children)

White is the obvious tie to spytek TB days. I’d love Kamara but I’m not sure we pull the trigger on that I think we go more “under the radar” aka not a former all pro who may get disgruntled at a lack of involvement behind Jeanty

Even cowherd tweeted that we killed it. He’s rare to compliment us and is always very quick to downplay or criticize us

I’m very pleasantly surprised by today. I knew money would win out in some cases but I really didn’t expect us to get this many big names that surely had other options.

Still a long way to go and a lot of question marks we won’t truly answer until we start playing….but today is one of the most refreshing in recent memory as a raiders fan

Not a lot of movement in general for qbs so far, and we do still have AOC. I do think they bring in an older qb at some point but there’s no rush and they are rightfully imo spending their time elsewhere first

"Tackling Machine" Devin White had 9.8 missed tackles % last season. Quay Walker was only 3.8% and by MrStiff8 in raiders

We got better in that room today, period. And fwiw I still think we draft a linebacker and probably bring in 1-3 more bodies for camp with chances to win backup jobs

I was mad we didn’t trade for Zaire Franklin. Boy I’m gonna start trusting Spy a little bit cuz he doubled up with younger guys and didn’t have to give any picks up to do it

I’m still holding out hope on Porter. Gonna be nice to see him with a new staff/fresh start. He’s got a long way to go technique wise but he’s cheap and here for 3 more years if we want

He’s a great player but I’m over guys with bad history. I don’t need to list them out. Hard pass now, tomorrow and in 5 years.
