The Official Oakland Raiders Offseason thread

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Who are you? Did you watch any of our games last year?​

Watched most of the games the past 2 years. The run game could be better obviously but that has more to do with the OL and scheme than any one RB. And the Raiders were a top 5 offense with everyone healthy last year.

Get a slot receiver or TE in the 4th or 5th this WR and TE class is deep

Partially due to play calling, we were having streaks of no offensive impact. With our wide reicevers dropping the ball, we need a feature back that can keep defenses honest as the amount of three and ours we had took a toll on our defense. I like richard/washington but we still need someone greater until they come into their own.

The main players on the offense are really young. Can't expect greatness over night. The Raiders are hoping all of their young players on offense individually get better and that should make the offense as a whole a lot better. And like I said there will be talented TE and slot receivers that can start right away late in this draft.

I can see giving AP a one year deal but that's about it.

Remember when cats would say McKenzie needs to get fired cause he wasn't overpaying for FA's as soon as FA hit?

and when we shouldn't give McKenzie any props cause " he's only doing what a GM is supposed to do"

Of course. The main thing driving this is the youth movement. What myself and others are simply saying is that it doesn't hurt to have proven vets peppered in there especially if they have extra motivation to win like AP or have already won like Bennett prior to going to GB. It's nice that they're figuring this out on their own but we can't discredit good veteran presence when it can be had for a bargain and we've missed out on great bargains so far.

Good move Patterson is talented as hell. Hopefully he explodes with a good QB finally

What would be a discount for AP lol? He probably wants a few years and a good amount of money still. And Bennett isn't that good. I'll take Patterson over him.

But yea like I said if AP wanted to come in for a 1 year deal or a 2 year deal with low guaranteed money then that would be nice but he doesn't want to do that.

Patterson is a Good Pickup for us. He'll probably split time with Seth at the Slot & be our Kick Returner. His Speed is Crazy.

 

[Truefan31]

not bad getting patterson, but man we should get AD, he must be asking for a lot or something, or maybe he swerving minny to get them to pay him more. No logical reason why he shouldn't be wanting to run behind our line.

Time will tell but im happy about the Patterson signing. Hes a elite kick returner and a great gunner on special teams.

Best case scenario he will have a Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs type of impact on our already stacked offense. Worst case scenario, hes nothing more than our 3rd/4th string WR thats still an upgrade over Johnnie Holton.

I know its not the same situation but Adrian Peterson gives me Maurice Jones Drew nightmares. I dont want to be the team that finds out hes completely washed.
