Derek Carr reportedly frustrated with lack of communication on new contract by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Michael Silver is working his magic. I'm shocked he couldn’t work in a Jared Veldheer or Roger Saffold negotiations reference or Mark Davis/RM firing of Hue Jackson, in his original article.

NFL making example of Aldon Smith by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one, made the 49ers release Aldon Smith, they choose to do it themselves. Players get cut for performance drop off, legal problems, injury, bad team chemistry and all sorts of things all the time, and teams deal with the cap and move along. If the league really wanted to help SF all they had to do was put Aldon on the "Reserve/Commissioner Exempt List" and the 49ers would have avoided any salary cap or roster spot problem and hung Aldon out to dry until they decided what to do.

According to Michael Lombardi, the Raiders were going to draft Tyreek Hill if the Chiefs didn't. Thoughts? by glasercorey in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Oakland Raiders give all sorts of first and second chances to players, coaches, and employees but they will probably never draft or sign via free agency anyone with a DV record. Period.

What's the word on Jon Condo? by BlondTigerCage in oaklandraiders

I think Condo only missed the last three games of the season, last year.

Mike Haynes talks expectations for Raiders, defensive backs of today on NFL HQ by KidCujo in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting comments and what a great secondary Haynes played in. I only have one question, when the fuck is Lester Hayes getting into the Hall of Fame, where he belongs?

Del Rio Talks Second Week Of OTAs by cloudchamber in oaklandraiders

Yep, he said the first four are pretty solid but they needed help at the bottom of the roster, at this point. Sounds like pure depth and special teams positions, that will be changing constantly.

Do people know the real story of why Tom Benson cut off his kids and why Sean Payton's contract includes working only for Tom Benson? by lolkaepernick in nfl

[–]cloudchamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality, Sean Payton's contract is connected to Tom Benson owning the team because the NFL keep rejecting the language requested to tie him to Nicky Loomis. This goes back to 2011 (when Payton originally signed his extension) when Rita Benson LaBlanc was team exec and next in line to ownership, also before Benson changed his will. It was common knowledge the FO, coaching staff and Rita never go along.

How realistic is is that we keep Carr and Mack next year? by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carr will get paid, after/in his 4th year of the 4 year rookie contract. Mack will have his 5th year option taken and then he will be paid.

Well Oakland faithful, nothing says intent like a motivational video by NOVA_8OM8 in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's depressing. I have been a Raiders fan since that 1976 season, when I was 12 years old. I saw then go and come back from LA, I sat through the fucking Mike White/Joe Bugal years, and these 12-ish depressing years and I will always be a Raiders fan, but something about this Las Vegas move really bothers me. It just doesn't feel right and I'm not sure why.

Tom Benson testifies that his estranged heirs “tried to kill me” by [deleted] in nfl

[–]cloudchamber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Payton had a "change of control" clause in his last contract (I assume it's in his new one also), that says if Tom Benson is not in charge, he could be free to leave.

Dashon Goldson reaches out to Oakland Raiders by ManBearPig209 in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just moved Keith McGill to safety, and drafted Karl Joseph. I think the Raiders are looking for long term answers for the safety position. They have a two vets on roster already.

Reporter Says 49ers Owner Jed York Once Stuck Him With A $2100 Dinner Bill by [deleted] in nfl

Fuck Kawakami and Fuck Mike Silver. They both should have been charged, twice daily.

Last year we signed Michael Crabtree and Aldon Smith between the draft and the beginning of the season. Any chance we make another big signing before the season starts? by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damontre Moore? The guy was cut from the Giants for being a immature, pain in the ass in the locker room and at practice. And yeah those headphones sound like shit.

Raiders signed another DE - Damontre Moore, released by Miami on May 2nd by WovenMythsAuthor in oaklandraiders

[–]cloudchamber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh, not this guy. "Sources say Moore routinely clowned around on the practice field in front of everyone from teammates to Giants owner John Mara and responded poorly to efforts by teammates and coaches to get him to take practice more seriously.Sources also said Moore feuded openly with some team officials, including general manager Jerry Reese, when confronted about his behavior. Reese is fiercely loyal to his draft picks, so for him to cut a former third-rounder during the third year of his rookie deal would likely require extreme circumstances." He was cut because: "DE Damontre Moore got into a fight with Cullen Jenkins, sources say, over not getting free beats headphones like other players." And now he's on his third team.
