Oakland Raiders Practice Squad: Who Should Be Signed?

PrintThe key with practice squads is that players who are on practice squads can be picked up by any team, at any point to fill a need. This is how the Oakland Raiders lost Kevin Boothe and Dave Tolleson a few years ago.
Both, Boothe, a promising young Offensive Lineman and Tolleson, a promising young Defensive Lineman, were poached from the Oakland Raider practice squad when they failed to be placed on the 53 man roster in time to stick in Oakland.
Interestingly enough, both of these players played roles in the Giants Super Bowl victory over New England.
So, will Stevie Brown or Manase Tonga be signed OUR practice squad or be picked up by someone else and added to their 53 man roster or practice squad? Or are there players out there that can be added to our practice squad or the 53 man roster?
I have not received word yet, but this thread will keep us posted.

First One I Want:
Louis Rankin. He was one of the bubble players that just couldn’t make it as a RB here. With Bush out he is a pounder and a solid KO returner. Originally from Stockton, I say, bring him home.

+1 -n- Stevie Brown Too....
But also add TJH as “WR” n “C” Justin Hartwig to the roster too…We can let go of “JLH” n Sam Williams to make room…
I say go for Lynch before we go for Rankin
What would the Bills want for him?

hopefully Stevie Brown will sign on
not sure that he will due to how the team trotted him out to talk about making the team only to find out he was cut. Didn’t get to see Brennen, but with the offensive line situation the way it is, would be good to have another qb in the back pocket.
Winners always have high expectations...losers whine about schedules (or blame Dorrell).
Tonga, Parsons, Bodiford and Heard
are signed to the practice squad as of right now. I would love to have Rankins back.
RaidersBlog So Stevie Brown to practice squad, but it could be short lived. Maybe Raiders (Davis) realizes and moves to promote him.
Andy Slater did say that the Raiders were shopping Michael Huff.

I'd love to get either of those guys
Especially for Huff , but why not just cut Hiram and promote Stevie?

Seems like he's been on the block the last couple of years
doesn’t seem to be much of a market for him, or the Raiders continually overplay his worth.

Brown back and yes
sign Louis Rankin, he always produced for us, we need a KO returner who is a threat, plus all of a sudden our deepest position RB is now our thinnest.
Re: Brown
Good to see no one claimed him and he’s still in the Nation (though tenuously). Hoping Brennan also signs on.
T.J. has experience we need !!!!
79 Catches last year for Seattle !!! IN SEATTLE !!!! Mind you, his Average was below 10 yards a catch, but the plus on that is 60+% of his catches was for first downs !!!! We could use that type of experience, know how to get open, when needed. Also available is Micheal Clayton from Tampa Bay, and a few others less notibles!!! No name dropping cuts at the OT position, so a trade will have to be done, for an upgrade at this position.
