Raiders Sign WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Raiders.com is confirming that the Oakland Raiders have signed veteran wide receiver T.J. Houshmanzadeh to a 1-year deal worth approximately $500K. The 9 year veteran has played with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2001 through 2008 (5 years with Carson Palmer) before two one-year stops in Seattle and Baltimore. Over those 10 years, Housh has caught 616 passes for 7,091 yards and 43 TDs.
I have mixed feelings about this move. On the one hand I want the team to do whatever it takes to make Carson Palmer feel comfortable to keep our playoff hopes alive this season. On the other hand, those who worried that Coach Jackson was delusionally remembering Carson Palmer from his All-Pro 2004-2006 era may be having some of those fears confirmed as Jackson again brings in someone with whom he is familiar who had great success in the '04-'06 seasons.
The Raiders have not announced a corresponding roster move to make room for Housmanzdeah, who will wear #84.
Thanks to Marcofromda510 and R8RFAN12 for being the first to post this information on S&BP.

hopefully they cut nick miller
he is a waste of a WR spot on the roster. I was not for signing TJ, but now that I think about it, he has to be better than Miller. Maybe the Raiders are waiting until 5pm to announce the cut… You know, Miller time! LOL
Nick Miller was cut weeks ago

Well then it looks like Ausberry may be on the block
None else on offense would be expendable. Could remove a defensive guy )Groves, cough cough), but that wouldn’t be wise in case of further injuries.
Groves?...
The guy has been pretty good on Special Teams…

he was a stop-gap while Reece healed. Ausberry has been seeing more action lately, and is good on special teams.

I'm fine with this move...
Murphy is not playing @ a acceptable level… Chaz stay hurt… Moore slowing down a bit… DHB heating up… Before u know it teams will start doubling him… Then what?… Moore will be fine, but the others are suspect… Ford is a slot WR… He is a true 3rd or 4th WR… T.J. Is now in the Silver and Black and that is the 1st reason I root for him… No point of complaining like it will change something…

Biletnikoff said a few years back that TJ was a guy that he really liked.
Notice how HuJax said that he made the “sticky” catch for the Bengals. For 500K and Murphy & Chaz not contributing, I’ll take it.

Chaz wasn't really targeted much by Campbell
So he either wasn’t getting open or Campbell didn’t trust him. That might change with Palmer, and Chaz is a great down field blocker. Murph hasn’t caught up to where he needs to be, but hopefully the bye week helped him get there. DHB has been a revelation to this point, and I can only see him improving with more targets. We need to get our deep routes going more angular. The go routes aren’t there, so we need some deep crossing routes or post corners or skinny posts…

you might be right, I totally forgot about him...
With Marcel Reece the Beast back and healthy, that would make enough sense.
Hue
Obviously sees a need , 500 K not much to pay. Who knows an established vet maybe just what they need .That is as long as he isnt too far gone.
i can see the sexy appeal of bringing him in
DHB and Ford,Murphy, or Shilens on the outside, and TJ in the Slot. Tons of speed to take off the top and leaving TJ free over the middle for Palmer’s Go To guy. Worst case, he doesnt preform and we dont resign him at the end of the season.
by Marcofromda510 on Nov 1, 2011 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions
This
and he has Palmer’s trust. We’ll work him on underneath stuff out of the slot, almost as second TE, then we’ll sneak one of the burners in there for a seam rout over the top.

on the bright side
at least we didnt pay much to get him….i didnt want him at all but for the price its worth a shot
all things considered, especially the price tag, it seems not at all a bad move
while many don’t care for T.J. and that’s apparent, the guy has a lot of experience and can probably help right away. We heard similar crap about Hagan when he was signed, and he has worked out well so far. We’re not expecting him to be our number 1 or 2; we just need him to help, provide some depth and a reliable target for Carson where Murphy currently isn’t, and it’s difficult to call Chaz that ever considering he’s on the sidelines way more than he plays.Chaz can’t help us there.

yeah, someone's getting the axe
Maybe Murphy or Schilins?
Neither of these guys have been able to play too many games in a row without getting injured, and I mean at some point the organization needs to move on…..just a thought, I know they are speedy, and have made some exciting fast plays for us, but (check my old posts if you wish) I have held for a while now that at some point Schilins & Murphy’s inability to stay healthy becomes a handicap for our entire WR corp
I can agree with Schilens being cut, but I think Murphy can still be valuable on the trade market if we get him back to his old form. He won’t be long for the Raiders unless he picks it up, but he won’t just be dropped, he has value.
good point
I’m nervous with excitement and fear about all of these move in the wake of Al’s death< i still trust in Hue (although I was upset with last weeks debacle) but there have been so many moves in the past week and we need to see how this team has handled it. I’m excited that guys are gonna be fresh, healthy, and hungry as I don’t think there is a player on this team that doesn’t cringe over the gift we gave KC last week. I heard it called the perfect storm for Oakland to lose, and while I do have some issue with the mishandling of the QB situation and some calls Hue made, in retrospect I now believe that last week and last week only was the way KC beats us at home this year. QB uncertainty, Mcfadden down, Janikowski kicking points down, and McClain down was the ONLY way we lose that game.

We're playing more multiple coverages
and blitzing more. Sheppard isn’t the same CB he was in Philly, but he’s better than Joe Porter. We had two CBs healthy against KC, and still made Cassel look almost as bad as Boller (not really a feat of great significance, but work with me, here.) Sheppard gives us another cover person, which frees up Huff to roam around and wreak more havoc.
If we brought in Sheppard the week before the Green Bay game, I’d be shaking like a leaf, but it’s Tebow and a shaky Phyllis Rivers the next two weeks. We needed a CB and we could have done worse than Lito Sheppard.

I'm A Believer In "DVD" But He Does Lack Experience...
Sometimes what a Vet has lost in ability is made up by his awareness…Being very savvy…Understanding what’s going to happen instead of just reacting to what has already happened…That type of edge takes time to develop…
Now does Lito have it??…Not sure but I would suspect he does so after a few plays when he has had time to get a grip on what the “QB” is wanting to do his veteran experience may pay off with picks…Also he should already know something from film study and past awareness against some "QB"s n "WR"s against whom he’s familiar…
I don't know much about Lito Sheppard
except that he played for us in preseason, and I seem to remember a few people being surprised he was cut, would he really be a downgrade from CJ???? DVD stepping up and earning #1 for sure
i think we would start routt and DVD
with shep there in case DVD starts regressing

I think this might end up being a brilliant move, although that completely
depends on how Palmer comes into his own. In regards to our receiving corp, I think the one thing its really lacking is Veteran Leadership (I know we have Hagan, and he is a veteran, but he’s competing for a starting spot and not trying to “lead” himself out of the starting rotation) TJ, on the other hand absolutely knows this may be his last NFL appearance, and happily takes 500k for a 1 year leadership role. I like it, and if him being around helps Carson, then I’m even more for it. We have a lot of young, hungry guys, but they’re surrounded by other young healthy guys, they need a veteran (like seymour for the front 4) to motivate and elevate everyone’s play. I foresee TJ filling that role nicely.
yup. I'm excited to see an aspect of Raider football unseen for almost a decade
and hope to see it blossom during the peak of a difficult stretch of schedule approaching.

I think it is less about Palmer and more about providing the WRs with a guy who knows how to catch the throws that Palmer makes and how to read him. He can provide tips and what to expect, and lay out a visual blueprint for what to do.
I was concerned with DHB being able to handle the passes that Palmer would throw, but it turned out that Ford and the others needed it. Having someone with experience catching those throws will give them something to work from.
Did you remember the first throw Palmer made against KC?
He knifed it between two defenders. He definitely still has the touch. Every QB goes through a little rut, Manning has as well. I hope he gets reenergized with Oakland.
you talking about the bullet to DHB between the two receivers?
That was sweet, I don’t know if were talking about the same play, but he did totally make some “touch” throws that only an elite nfl QB can make.
He made a couple of throws against KC
that we haven’t seen from a Raider QB in a very long time.

i think pantyraider is right
CJ goes to IR….with CJ unhealthy, DVD playing better, and picking up Shep, CJ seems like the obvious choice
I guess the thing is that although we have a stable or young receivers that we all like
None of them except DHB is performing consistently. I think back to Hues comment in preseason about Hagan performing because he studies the playbook instead of playing xbox all night and perhaps this is a bit of an issue and bringing in TJ who is a strong leader and been a probowl player will set the standard for the younger guys.

And he is also not TO which is a plus
by Ozraider on Nov 1, 2011 4:51 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
+1
TO is done. Oh wait, maybe he’ll get picked up by St. Louis or Cleveland or Miami, or some other desperate organization. He thinks too much of himself and his ability’s and he’s old now. He’d have to be cheap to go somewhere and I don’t think his EGO would allow that humbling type of situation.
they also run bunch formations that ensure no one can get a clean jam on him, ever...
but it essentially gets a guy open almost immediately and Brady has at least that long to hit four options and he finds the best one—usually Wes.
Pittsburgh and Lebeau did a bangup job taking Wes and Gronkowski away for most plays for the initial three seconds, and Brady looks like shit when his blocking breaks down, which isn’t often, but they planned it well.

what about the pick
that was never call that cost the raiders a td why didn’t the raiders get that call in the redzone?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvmb3-e4f0
I don't like this move at all...
First, As you said this further pushes the idea that Hue is effing delusional! Second, Houshmanzadeh is 34. Now, I get the idea of trying to give Palmer a familiar target in hopes of getting him into the system easier, but I don’t see any benefit from this signing. TJ is only going to take reps from our young receiving corps, and although it may benefit Palmer for these first few games (I doubt it will be significant if at all), it could be costly to the growth of receivers like Murphy and Hagan who deserve the reps… Even Palmer has stated that there is no need (in reference to TO, who is better than TJ) to bring in another WR because of the depth we have at WR. Jackson needs to stop thinking immediate and get back to the long term view that we were building in the preseason.
Hue needs to stop will all this “signing the Bengal’s rejects” madness and get back to coaching… Next he is going to try and sign Chris Henry (RIP) to a long term deal… These are not Irish coffee decisions, these are tequila decisions! I think he has lost a step since taking over the role of Al Davis, and unless he corrects it this team is going to regress and I may have to start therapy all over again!
I know I am probably being a little bit pessimistic about all of this and even a little overly dramatic, but I was at the Chiefs game for my birthday making my 23rd birthday officially the most depressing birthday I have ever had (I got beat up on my 7th , arrested on my 16th, and wrecked my car on my 19th: all of which were more enjoyable for me than the Chiefs game). So I’m kinda mad a Hue right now and although it isn’t lit, the torch has definitely been doused in kerosene and the pitchfork is being sharpened at this very moment… OK not really, but if one of these old timers tells me to get off his lawn I will cut him! GOD I’m grumpy, time for a sandwich and a nap!
Win Lose or Tie, Raiders Til I Die
dude you need to stop, breathe, open you mind and read some of these other posts
for 500k this move is cheap! its a one year deal! pass or fail this changes little with “long term view” of this team. Wether you want to admit it this team is in crisis mode switching QBs mid-season and sustaining several injuries. TJ is a pro-bowl veteran WR and will provide much needed leadership to our young WRs and also help these other guys in adjusting to how to catch carson. Be positive bro, last week was a bs loss that would have never happened if we had Jano and Mcfadden healthy and Carson knew more than 15plays of our offense. Keep your head up bro KC loss was a fluke, not a dooming sentence! Go Raiders
I know it was a fluke (that last section was about 60% sarcasm)
I just think this QB crisis mode that we are in is causing hue to make a lot of rash decisions. Now that TJ is here who do we cut? I cant think of an single person I would cut for TJ… I mean we got rid of all of our burden players, like Sam Williams, In the preseason. Only player that makes any sense to cut is Chaz, but I feel he has more upside despite injuries than TJ does. Now, let’s be clear on one thing… TJ is not a probowl vet… he was a probowl player who is now a vet… big difference… Larry Fitzgerald is a probowl vet… TJ has great hands but can’t create separation and will not rack up YAC.
Also I am concerned less about the cost and more about what it is hue thinks he is doing… There is no need to add another WR to this roster. Maybe if we played a game with Palmer and our WRs and it didn’t go well I could see this move being made, but jumping to this move out of the gate tells us that hue has little to no faith in Palmer’s ability to get the timing down with these WRs (which if true does not bode well for the future).
Win Lose or Tie, Raiders Til I Die
I agree
this was a in the moment move and seeing that Al Davis wasn’t there too stop him it was easy for him to get the ok!
Tonga can and should be waived if Reece is completely back
He wasn’t a good lead blocker, was a liability in the passing game, and just isn’t ready to be a full back in this league. Houshmandzadeh is a security blanket that’s familiar with our HC and QB. This ain’t rocket surgery. He’ll make some plays, and Palmer will look to him in certain situations, plus he’s always been an excellent route runner which could have an impact on our young WRs. He has always been a more technical WR because he didn’t have great speed.
Timing in an offense takes more than two weeks to create, at least this move give Palmer a familiar face to look to.

we have a TE
why don’t we have plays for Boss anyone here as the answer he has a damn super bowl ring! please help under stand Hue Jackson thinking?

Whats up with the hate raidersrulz??? we got him for 500k 1 year, which is practically nothing, whats up with all the boo-whoing over TJ?
Dude you judge his entire ability off 1 play?
that happens, especially in Pittsburgh, I loved the way he ran that stop route. Sometimes balls get away from you, it happens.
dude rewatch that video he did not slap his coach
grow up. This is football, he was wide open and the team wasn’t whilst getting spanked by the cowgirls. He’s a team player and play-maker and has every right to get pissed that they are losing and not trying to get the ball in their playmakers hands.
we will see this
week when Carson palmer try to kill him again wow those hit were is that retire letter again wow!!!
hits like that result in 1st downs for our O via penalties
again whats your point and whats with all the HAte?
you are showing more and more that you have no idea what your talking about
NO WAY IN HELL TJ starts this week. There would be no reason to throw him in the mix that early. He is here to play a role as a veteran leader who can provide a slot option and someone for carson to be familiar with. He will also provide invaluable assistance in showing this young receiving corp how to catch palmers throws and what his tendencies are.
With Hue I wouldn't be surprised if TJ saw snaps
I agree though that he can be a bridge between Palmer and the receivers

Boller took 80% of the snaps that week but I agree the bad performance was on hue
So the int where the ball was thrown directly to Moore and he boggled it up into the air to the DB is on the QB?
You don’t know what you are talking about and it’s highly unlikely you even watched the game.

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson
Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because your team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

500k 1 year deal why does this bother you so?
thats practically nothing, why dont you try and read some of these other posts and quit being such a hater.
both of these big hit videos you've posted have nothing to do with his ability as a receiver
and more to do with defenders making hits that are no longer legal and result in huge positive plays for our offense via personal foul penalty yardage…whats your point hater?
what the point
Carson leads his wideout to harms way do you think these young wideout are dumb they look on Youtube and say hell no we don’t trust Carson!!
It was one fucking play
it happens. Kurt Warner got Boldin’s jaw broken against the Jets. This ain’t Madden, this is real football played by real people. Every QB has gotten every WR they’ve played with lit up at some point.
Palmer is far from a perfect QB, but Campbell was limited, too. Even Tom Brady and Peyton are limited. They make mistakes and throw picks. it’s a part of the game.

I hope they can put Tim Tebow in a box for the game and not let him run freely on sunday and after that nov 10 SD Raiders need to not get overcharge in the first half they need to be clam and play within the tackles and fill the gaps.
Good luck DEF this week and rest up a lot because SD game will be hard!!

I see TJ as a bridge between Palmer and the WR's
He will be able to teach the young guys some technique and mentor them so that Palmer can gel with the group more as a whole. I don’t see TJ as a major factor on the field though. More of a sideline and practice guy who will come in on 3rd downs sometimes.

He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won.
What would be cool is if Hue brought him in as a veteran mentor and then eventually hired him as the WR coach (if he's a good teacher). He's always been one of the most fundamentally sound WR's in the league.

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson
Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because your team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Well...
While I think we were just fine at the WR position and I hope we don’t cut someone like Hagan, having a vet like Housh could be really good for our young group of wideouts. And if having him around make Palmer more comfortable, then so be it. Let’s face it, we need all the help we can get with this transition. And it’s got to happen fast if we want a shot at the playoffs.
don't you want to stop waiting
when the last time the raiders won the Super Bowl?
Are you Really,Really Hungry for that Super Bowl Ring I know that I’m tired of we are building crap I want results and want the Raiders stop bring in wish QB we don’t have five more years we want it now!
Hue has alot of power in his hands...

bad move
I would have preferred T.O, because at least he has been a productive wideout in the last 2 years. TJ is over the hill, will slow the growth of our young guys and has suspect hands. Anyone else notice that not one other team was interested in him? Sheesh
Raiders playing a lot more zone coverage
makes the Mr. Sheppard signing a great move.
Raiders win the division
there will be a lot of coaches demanding Hue’s power in their other franchises
we finish 8-8
coaches will be kissing a lot gm booty
Veteran WR Presence!!!!
Have been a need for the Raiders for years. Hopefully TJ has something left, I recall him being pretty solid in the red zone with the Bengals. As long as he come in with a great attitude and unselfish I’m good with the move. It should pay off later on during the seaon when the games matter the most. Huge 3RD down conversions to move the chains consistantly. Time will tell if TJ can get the job done, lets give him a chance nation…..
please let us
not be doubting Tim Tebow we need to be wake the whole game on Tim do not over run tim!

we don’t have Javier Arenas the player that I wanted over ford pick but I don’t know both are looking good! Javier won vs raiders and SD I have to wait and see this week Let hope Ford step up big time!!
Not sure how anyone could/would criticize this signing
Great move. Low cost/risk…high reward.
We want CP to succeed, not “suck seed,” right? If CP worked out with TJ in the off-season and threw to him for, oh I dunno, most of his career in Cincy with much fruit, what is the downside? Are we REALLY worried about losing Chaz? Have we ever had Chaz? I’d love the guy to come through, but I’m just not seeing it. Someone try to convince me…de-activated last week v. KC…doesn’t smell right. We’re not cutting Murph. Not sure why anyone would even float that. I say we cut Chaz and Tonga, and pluck up Mike Karney @ FB to bruise up the middle of some D’s.
My view — TJ catches ’bout 35, 5 TDs.
watch this!!!

U guys watch the csn special for the raiders?? Good stuff it’s on YouTube. Makes me feel really bad for him. He’s a cool dude and he should be our starting qb. I’ve been rough on him but I always supported him especially in arguments. Cut boller and hopefully campbell stays by taking a smaller paycheck. I kinda dislike the Carson trade a bit now but what’s done is done and I will support the starting qb except boller…. Maybe. I wouldn’t trade Murphy just yet. He was our best wr at the beginning of last year and our best in 09. The tj signing was good and bad. I think it will workout though but don’t know if he will contribute at all. Hopefully some future key 3rd down conversions.

Tim tebow is a bust and won’t succeed in the NFL as a qb. Nothin personal against him it’s just his skill(or lack there of) as a qb and because he’s a donkey! Newton on the other hand is monster!!! Bring tebow and the stable of donkeys on

King: Tebow won't be Broncos' starting QB by Jets game...The Mighty Quinn Coming Soon!!!
Add Sports Illustrated senior writer Peter King to the growing list of Tim Tebow’s doubters.
“The biggest thing the Denver Broncos need to do at the end of this year is to sit in a room and say ‘Kyle Orton — out, Brady Quinn — in as a backup, Tim Tebow — we’ve got to trade him or try to get something for him’ or whatever it is they decide. They need to decide something going forward about their future at quarterback.”
Fox Sports reporter and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer called Tebow “a running back who can throw, not a running quarterback.” Glazer also said the Broncos revamped their entire offense last week to a more college-style offense disguised as a pro-style offense to fit Tebow’s strengths.
Tailor-built offense still wouldn't solve Tebow's problems...Start Running The Prayer "O"!!!...LoL!!
“Mechanically, he’s just so unconventional,” said the personnel exec. “He’s a thrower, not a passer, and he has a slow release. DBs close fast in this league. And I never thought he had good field vision in college. He misses wide-open receivers. I just think the percentages are low here for long-term success.”
And if a team built a system around him? “I don’t even know if you could do that,” said the exec. “At some point, you have to pass, when they stop the run, and refuse to let you run (as a quarterback). If he can’t do that consistently, it’s gonna be tough.”
So here it is…Our opportunity to make a final statement in their “Tebow Experiment” and nail that lid on his freakin coffin!!!
Question:....How Could You Lack Confinace As Long As They Play Tebow???
And it’s time to have a little fun here…Ya know those “Tebowncos” are lurking in the shadows…LoL!!!
Dude we got shut out and embarrassed last time we played
and if you want an example of how shit can go down in the NFL look at the saints getting beat by AJ Feeley and the Rams.
No it was on the team being overconfident
and our overconfidence contributes to the bad karma. Players also get overconfident through fans talking them up on twitter etc
