Oakland Raiders Question: Who Are Our Free Agents?

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Jan 20, 2009 8:16 AM PST

We are attempting to compile an exhaustive SBN wide list of each team's free agents. This is not my specialty. Does one of you who has the info want to share it? This should lend itself to some interesting discussion.

We can also add whom we expect to be released.

Thank You!!!

Baker, Miller, Aso and Lechler would be pretty decent losses.

But when they start scheming us the way these guys did, and we weren't particularly ready for it, anything can happen."

Great job, RaiderWay

It’s kind of fun looking at former Raiders who are now free agents from other teams, Stinchcomb, Buchanan, et. al. I don’t see any linebackers on the list that would help this team, too bad, we need a strong side backer, Maualuga?

by Laoren on Jan 20, 2009 10:26 AM PST reply actions

Or

Morrison may make an easy transition to SAM and you could draft/sign a MLB.

Agree

Morrison would make a great SAM, either assisting in the run or dropping into coverage of a TE/RB/FB. It would actually be a fairly unique system that way. Whereas usually the SAM is substituted out for another defensive back in nickel and dime packages, the Raiders could leave Morrison and Howard out on the field as the 2 LBs in such packages and substitute out the larger MLB.

I’ve said it ad nauseam, but I really like Jasper Brinkley from South Carolina for MLB. Same size/speed/tenacity as Maualuga, but should be available early in the 4th round.

James Laurinaitis

would be great. Duane Starks and Johnnie Morant weren’t even active or on the Raiders roster this season. I didn’t look through the whole list because I noticed you have David Garrard and Steven Jackson on it. They both signed contract extensions before the season even started so I don’t know why you say they will be free agents. The only people I see that we need to currently re-sign are Nnamdi Asomugha, Shane Lechler, Justin Miller, and Sam Williams.

Pick up T.O. or Houshmandzadeh and we’ll be a step closer to building a great receiving core and developing Russell better.

Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til' I die.

Don't forget Cooper Carlisle!

He has been solid for us the past two years.

by Raider76 on Jan 20, 2009 4:06 PM PST up reply actions

List Has Inaccuracies

The list has several inaccuracies, including Terrell Owens, who signed a 4 year extension with Dallas last June. He’d have to be released first…which I’ve heard may be a possibility. Still wouldn’t want him on the team if that was the case.

by LiveAdam on Jan 20, 2009 5:30 PM PST up reply actions

What about Carlisle?

As Raider78 said. Did you just forget him or you don’t think he needs to be re-signed?

by Brendan Scolari on Jan 21, 2009 1:09 AM PST up reply actions

does

boldin still want out?
him or colston would be sweet!!!

id love to draft a wr but i think we need to get someone already established for jamarcus to throw too..

Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up!!

by naq92 on Jan 20, 2009 8:59 PM PST reply actions

Even before the news

broke that Boldin was disgruntled, there was a point in last Sunday’s game where he looked none too happy. Worth kicking the tires, but do we want a guy who is going think of himself before the team? Been there, done that, haven’t we?

Then again, thepunisher pretty much refutes that line of thinking below.

I'm here to talk about the past.

by 67MARQUEZ on Jan 21, 2009 7:18 AM PST up reply actions

Too expensive

in compensation for Boldin. I love him as a player, but the draft choices that we would have to give up is just going to be too much.
I would rather go for Houshmandzadeh and/or the draft. We also don’t know yet who will be cut for salary cap purposes and become an available free agent.

Your team is your child...You love it no matter what.

by TheRaiderWay on Jan 21, 2009 7:58 AM PST up reply actions

Yeah definently because

route running has been our problem this year. Russell will throw it somewhere and there won’t be any Raider around to catch it. I’m not sure who is to blame in those situations, could be the quarterback or the receiver. Cooper Carlisle is expendable and I don’t particularly like T.O. but we need a playmaker on offense to atleast get double covered and open up some single coverage on guys like Higgins who will get open for the deep ball.

Wishful thinking for Boldin and Colston. The Saints keep their talent around and will re-sign Colston to a monster contract similar to Roy Williams’ signing in Dallas. Boldin is still under contract for a couple of years in Arizona and isn’t the type of player that will sit out if he doesn’t like the situation. He’s getting paid chump change compared to his counterpart Larry Fitzgerald which I can understand why he would be upset about. Larry is amazing but wouldn’t be as successful if Boldin wasn’t on the team. WE JUST GOT TO HOPE MIKE BROWN IN CINCINNATI CONTINUES TO BE THE CHEAPEST OWNER ALIVE AND NOT RE-SIGN T.J. HOUSHMANZADEH SO WE CAN GET HIM!!! Javon Walker should be cut along with Kwame Harris.

Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til' I die.
