Yahoo Sports: Stroud Released
from what i have read, the bills released 10 Year Veteran Marcus Stroud from their roster after failing to convert to a 3-4 defense.
now then here comes one of my crazy what if's posts about it, should the raiders take a chance on Stroud?

he averaged 3.0 sacks last year which isnt very bright, only because of the ongoing transition to a 3-4 defense. We the raiders of course are currently running a 4-3 defense and we may have a good use for him but then again our Defensive line has been quite well this year im not sure yet if this is a pickup we need.
This past year our defensive stats were the following:
Team | G | Pts/G | Yds/G | RushYds/G | PassYds/G | Int | IntTD | FFum | DefTD | Tack | PD | Sack |
Oakland Raiders | 16 | 23.2 | 322.8 | 133.6 | 189.2 | 12 | 2 | 12 | 3 | 635 | 67 | 47.0 |
Our Projected DL Starters: LDE Lamarr Houston, LDT Richard Seymour, RDT Tommy Kelly, RDE Matt Shaughnessy
all of these guys played stellar last year but the question still stands, will Stroud be a possible upgrade if needed
Nation You decide!
PS: and btw i really hate working with this table spreadsheet whatever its called with the stats
