tbh im hoping we resign who matters and draft where its needed and not at qb. not too stoked bout the fa pool. seems like alot of older talent and im done with that shit for the raiders. specially this raiders team who is young and up and coming. dont need the older guys cuz we arent making any real sb run for a few years imo


I would be okay picking up a few veterans. Veteran O-line players or a veteran WR would be fine in my book, because I think that paying a bit of extra cash in order to give young QBs a chance to really blossom is a good expenditure. And at the end of the day, that's what our next few years are gonna be about--picking the right guy and building him up. If we think we have the right guy in Pryor or McGloin, we need to give him the correct atmosphere before he goes David Carr on us.

No more old DBs though, and no old LBs. A single DE/DT would be reasonable, if only to help us get into the mindset of pressuring the QB.

Depends on the price tag. Pick someone up at a reasonable cost and I'm fine. But there aren't any big-name guys that we HAVE to have, so don't over-reach for 2nd rate talent.

Allen feels pressured to win next season. I could definitely see us over-reaching for some big name star. I just hope he's smart enough to stick to his guns and focus on the draft and dabble in FA.
