2011 Oakland Raiders Free Agency: Antonio Cromartie is Still a Possibility
by Rich Langford on Jul 31, 2011 12:25 PM PDT
Email
PrintYesterday I was starting to get a little nervous about the Oakland Raiders 2011 NFL free agency campaign. Gaither was out and Khalif Barnes was re-signed, and there weren't any rumors of them pursuing anyone in free agency. On top of that I saw a couple of reports on Antonio Cromartie and the Raiders were no longer mentioned as suitors.
My worry was that the Raiders were having a hard time of finding ways to get far enough under the cap to sign guys. I feel much better today. The Raiders started the day off by re-signing Huff and then there is this report by Jason LaCanfora on NFL.com:
The Raiders and Jets continue to negotiate with CB Antonio Cromartie, according to a league source.
A third team could be involved as well, but the Jets and Raiders have displayed the most interest.
It is not that I think Anotonio Cromartie is going to be a huge difference maker. In fact, I would be shocked if the Jets let him get away at this point. What makes me smile about this move is that the Raiders are still trying. They are still out there looking for ways to improve and they are relegated to bargain basement shopping.

NO Cromartie!!
We are good with what we have I feel, Routt, CJ and some decent young prospects, we will get enough of a rush to make it a little easier on the secondary.
NO MERCY!

plus i dont want to pay 10 million for him
if thats what he is asking.
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
CJ sucks, and the rookies won't contribute much. We all saw last year what happened to W McFadden-
against the damn Dolphins. HELL No, we need a vet. Cro is ok. Not good not bad. CJ is bad. Routt is ok also, we need 2 ok guys to win games. Or else we will get burned badly by good Qb’s like Rivers…

Cromartie is not Raider material, he's not physical and is a cheap shottist. Btw, I find him offensive

Me too, but he can cover... Overall, if we moved Huff to CB that would be great if not we need Cro... The rest of our CB's suck
or are undeveloped.
The RaiderLaker
move huff to corner
and put tyvon at FS, and Mitchell at SS. I would like that.
But I do think we need another CB at least, unless we have someone we are confident with.

So, you don't think Woodson can make him raider material? Faster bigger than Nnmadi?
Needs to be coached up a bit and pay attention instead of going for the big play.

Thinking that Al is simply
going to make the Jets pay for taking a run at Nnamdi, this not only is a dig, but if we drive up Cro’s $$tag, then they have less $ to think about Zac Miller, since they need a TE too.
NO MERCY!
love the thought of it
would be nice to get a lil revenge on them, it would be a lil fun to have cromartie line up against them on our home opener, especially since he knows the team so well. Huff as CB should be explored at least. Routt tweeted earlier that he remembers everythin Nnamdi has told him over the last 6 years, hopefully Huff remembers most of it too

"Addition By Subtraction" Is Raider Excellence!!!...So Is Getting A Spy!!!....
This is why the Jets will struggle to sign him…They know their coming to our house week #4 and don’t want any extra help on the Raiders roster…
But for the Raiders it makes sense…“Cro” knows the AFCE and we play all those teams this season…
Speaking of Spies. Did it occur to you that the Trent Edwards decision serves that very purpose ...
2 and 0 would be sweet coming home against the Jets.

by Marcofromda510 on Jul 31, 2011 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions
he was a free agent
their only mistake was going all out for nnamdi and letting it get out to the public, so everyone knew cromartie was their second choice fall back option. If they were quite about it like the eagles, signing back cromartie would probably go a lot smoother

OK...My Bad...I Confused This With Another Team...
Jets | In serious negotiations with Nnamdi Asomugha
The New York Jets are in serious negotiations with free-agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha (Raiders). If they can’t sign him, they could turn their attention to re-signing CB Antonio Cromartie.
probably thinking of the niners
they cut clements to make cap room, and didnt feel he was worth his contract anymore, They were in pursuit of Nnamdi too for a bit before Dallas got into the picture.They’re back up plan was Johnathon Joeseph whos now a texan.

Goldson
the raiders were rumored to pursuiting him. heard he would be an upgrade. But since they lost out on Nnamdi, thats more money they have to resign him, Im guessing Goldson reaches a deal with the niners soon, since we just resigned Huff

I think Cro is a long shot
On other CB news Jerry Mac said that CJ clearly looks like the best corner so far in camp.
"Anytime you have an organization and an owner that wants to win as badly as Al Davis wants to win, and will spend the money to win, I don’t think you have as many barriers as you think. Those are easy. The ones that would be tough is where you didn’t have any good players and you had an owner or an organization that didn’t want to spend any money to get good players." - John Madden, 2008
I like CJ
I member he had a great season with us before he got his contract. Maybe it was just replacing the production(or lack of) of D Hall made him look all the more better. I dont have an issue about him and Routt starting though, without Nnamdi, there is less pressure on both of them and that should allow them to play better since teams will probably throw at them evenly, unless one is obviously easy to exploit.

What Is This "BS"
NFL | League year could be pushed back
Sun, 31 Jul 2011 13:10:33 -0700
Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten, the team’s player rep, said the league year may be pushed back from Thursday, Aug. 4, to the following Monday or Tuesday. The NFL and NFL Players Association have details that need to be worked out. If the league year is pushed back, the new CBA rules would prevent players who were unsigned before training camp to participate in practice until the new league year begins.
Read more: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl#ixzz1TiWVugBc
that was the compromise they made
free agency can start and trades and deals can be made, but the league year cant start til everything is fully done and worked out

What Is This:
the new CBA rules would prevent players who were unsigned before training camp to participate in practice until the new league year begins.
i dont see
the purpose of preventing free agents from working out with their teams until the CBA is fully done. Only thing i can think of, is i heard some where, if the deal isnt done by a certain time, the cba is void and everything has to be done all over again. im very weary on the full details and possibilities, but i doubt any of that comes to fruitation. In other words, we’re playing the waiting game til its done.
by Marcofromda510 on Jul 31, 2011 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions
CBA
will be done soon enough, and everything will be back to normal, in the mean time we got free agency and preason to distract us til the regular season begins
where are you from?
Even though they cant physically practice, they can still study the playbook and go to team meetings and watch film. Football is 90% mental anyways. These guys are professionals, they got all preseaon to fine tune their bodies for the regular season. Set back sure, but it wont have that big of an affect in the long run. The teams that really suffer, will be the cards who cant have kolb practice yet and build chemistry with his recievers. As far as our team is concerned though, we’ll be ok.

As part of the Jets hectic pace on getting Antonio Cromartie under contract, they are calling around on trades to clear cap room.
I dont think he is getting worth it....
I would love to screw the jets over, but not at a high price. Miller should be our #1 priority.

I could live with Cromartie.
Sure, he can’t/won’t tackle, but he can cover and make plays. In our scheme, we need that from a cornerback more than pure tackling ability.
Long as we don’t pay him more than $10 million a year I’m cool. I think he’d be more likely to come here than sign with Rex Ryan’s team after they jerked him around chasing Nnamdi.

I will sign him at maximum 8 million.

Because he is better. This is the same guy who had a 10 interception season....
Until Routt comes close… it’s not close…

aaaaaand he was nowhere close to that good since. lol
that was just a freak year imo. id ont think he’ll be that calibr again but I wouldnt know. He is slightly above average though.

yeah but it's wierd. I guess I am just trying to compare the stats to the Nnamdi phenomena.
Not saying he is as good as Nnam (he’s not close) but maybe he got the Nnam treatment by CB’s.
I will be honest though, I never watched the dude play for a prolonged time.
The RaiderLaker
oh i dont think he got the nnam treatment.
remember he had revis opposite of him. If anything, he got the routt treatment. lol
He’s a good CB. Just imo, he is not an 8 million dollar worthy CB. I would pay him 5-6 million, but 8 is asking too much imo.

he is better than chris johnson now though.
coverage wise. tackling wise… i dont know. I think we can have him get better though with Rod Woodson. At least I hope so if we do sign the guy. Cromartie though says he’ll sign with the team who pays him the highest, and that he would love to play with the jets. The jets have a lot of cap space since they didnt sign nnamdi, so I dont think he’ll be a raider.

I would rather us sign Carlos Rogers and Brian Waters or Alan Faneca
It would probably come at the same price. Rogers and Johnson war it out for the #2 either one makes a plus nickel corner.

if ford is hurt it may be a blessing in disguise
it allows the guys behind him to get some great reps the first few weeks of preseason against starters instead of backups and shows us what they can contribute. we all already know what jacoby can do. also keeps him a lil fresh and he’ll still have a game or two left of preseason to fine tune himself
thats an interesting way of looking at it.

Maybe just waiting for Kam to sign off on the restructure

Brothel Slayer??
I have no idea what it means but it’s hilarious!
"Anytime you have an organization and an owner that wants to win as badly as Al Davis wants to win, and will spend the money to win, I don’t think you have as many barriers as you think. Those are easy. The ones that would be tough is where you didn’t have any good players and you had an owner or an organization that didn’t want to spend any money to get good players." - John Madden, 2008
Perhaps Travis Goethel is "the Jailer"
GAOLER. The keeper of a gaol or prison
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.

I like this one best.
"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.
What about 'judge' Goethel
Then we have the Judge the Warden and Death Ro

Just saw this but can't confirm if true just a comment on another blog:
“Grad was just (on) Sirius confirming that Miller is tending offers and Grad is actively trying to get him to Cinci. I hope we dont lose Miller.”
The RaiderLaker
I don't see how he would leave
Why leave to go to the Bengals? They are regressing. His number one option is us and Al will make sure he stays.
And the Bungles already have Gresham
and a bunch of young talented WRs. Why would they want Miller?

Interesting Free Agency
Does Al think the Raiders have the tools to make a run already? He has to right, cause why else have the Raiders shown little signs of picking up a quality free agent? The team is talented, I’m confident that they will sign Miller (they have to), and Hue seems like a good coach. I was hoping for perhaps Cromartie or Carlos Rogers, but I don’t think they will sign any CB’s. Perhaps the team has progressed better than we all know. I hope so, Ford and McFadden are potential superstars in the making. Murphy is a definite sleeper, SeBass could still kick a 60 + yarder, Campbell is settled in, Mclain, Ware, and McFadden (Corner) are all a little more experienced, Routt is better than average, Huff has improved, and the coaching staff looks pretty damn good. Oh, and big Seymour too (and that rugged D Line he leads). I think I just want the damn season to start already :P
