I wouldn't turn Sproles away but I wouldn't target him either...RB isn't a position of great need on our team, and there ARE positions of great need on our team. I'd throw him an offer or two but for a headliner I want to get a big name WR.

I agree. Imo throw some money around for a wide out. We have Jennings and the guy from the CFL. Let's see where they take us. Get us a deep threat and beef up our def backs is what I'd like to see. Shit Denver let champ go. I kinda wouldnt mind him for fairly cheap

Champ's like 40, he's old, slow, and past his prime. Great know-how, it'd be cool to see if we can pay him to mentor D.J. Hayden. With Champ and Woodson coaching him the guy would be a boss. But Champ will probably want to start, and we really can't afford to have that happen if we want to compete.

2nd most important FA move IMO, the first was resigning Veldheer and we've done that.

Where are you guys seeing that we signed Veldheer?

This is the latest I'm seeing on him:

Quote
Both NFL.com and the San Francisco Chronicle report there's "nothing imminent" between the Raiders and free agent LT Jared Veldheer.
A Twitter report suggested the sides were on the verge of agreeing to a five-year, $55 million deal, but that's not the case. According to reporter Ian Rapoport, Veldheer is "going to take his decision into the weekend, weigh his options and the market." It remains baffling that the Raiders decided not to place the franchise tag on either Veldheer or DE Lamarr Houston.

I thought we had him signed but I can't find anything confirming it

Saw a bleacherreport writer say it and that he trusts his sources but no one else has reported it.

Oh, xnozx posted from a Twitter link.
Reliable sources #1.

So Veldheer is our #1 priority, then Jennings. Pay the man to stay; we really need him on the line.
