With tomorrow being June 1st and the Raiders about to receive $8 million in relief from Michael Huff's June 1st cut designation, it is a good time to do a ‘Best free agents available' update. Let's starts with the offense.
Quarterback
Tyler Thigpen
Sage Rosenfels
Vince Young
My take: Not much to see here. It would take an injury to Raiders current group of QB's to prompt interest here.
Running Back
Ahmad Bradshaw
Michael Turner
Cedric Benson
Chris "Beanie" Wells
My take: Some nice options among the running backs. All seem to be available due in large part to injuries.
Fullback
Peyton Hillis
Jackie Battle
Lousaka Polite
My take: Some talent here but I wouldn't expect any of them to find work soon.
Wide Receiver
Brandon Lloyd
Laurent Robinson
Devery Henderson
Steve Breaston
Braylon Edwards
Deion Branch
Austin Collie
Derek Hagan
My take: Little reason any of these receivers shouldn't find a team. Most of them very soon.
Tight End
Kellen Winslow Jr
Visanthe Shiancoe
Todd Heap
Dallas Clark
David Thomas
Travis Beckum
My take: The top four names here were once the best in the game. Age has caught up to them (Well, attitude with Winslow Jr) but the game hasn't passed them by.
Offensive Tackle
Eric Winston (RT)
Jammal Brown (RT)
Winston Justice (RT)
Demetress Bell (LT)
Sean Locklear (RT/LT)
Frank Omiyale (RT/LT/G)
My take: No football reason whatsoever why Eric Winston is not on a team. He is a solid number one right tackle. I expect the others will be on a team soon as well.
Guard/Center
Brandon Moore
Leroy Harris
Dan Koppen (C)
Cooper Carlisle
Jake Scott
My take: Brandon Moore is good but he is 33 and is pricing himself out of a job right now. Overall age is the major factor with most of these guards. They are in many team's back pockets as reliable plug and play replacements.
