Raiders Re-Sign Bennett and Loper
National Football Post is reporting that the Raiders have re-signed RB Michael Bennett and G Daniel Loper.
Bennett signed a 1-year, $865K contract.
Loper signed a 2-year, $4.2M contract.
I didn't think Bennett would be back with Louis Rankin back in the fold. I'm glad Loper is back, but $4.2M seems like a lot for a guy who was making near league-minimum before.

So it's $2.1/million/year for Loper? It seems we have Gallery's replacement

That's why I don't like it
He’s being paid starter’s money which may mean the Raiders may not be looking to the draft to upgrade the LG spot.

doesnt mean
that just means that they view his and gallerys work the same meaning they think he could do what gallery did without getting hurt. And it sures up the need for the o line if they need to get a CB in the 2nd round. Still take OL but prolly not as early maybe some more D 2 schools or other bruce campbell veld type players
Sounds like found money (maybe they had expected Gallery to be reasonable). Loper at 6-6 320 has the size and
showed toughness. I’ve never seen him pull like Gallery though … and that will be missed.

That play he rolled for a first down was awesome though
And he filled in otherwise, and you didn’t noticemp, which is a good thing for that position.

That was an awesome roll
I will give Loper a position on the team in 2011 just for that roll.

well
we will see what happens in the draft and or what he can do with full duty
Could be a case of Mr Davis "pre-rewarding"
The time is now for this kid. Let’s see if he can handle it.

Loper at RG, maybe?
I don’t know if he has the athleticism to be a pulling guard.
No one likes us,

We're the Raiders and we don't care...
