Any potential Raiders follow Routt to KC?

Faiders are 11 million over the Salary Cap, so maybe we can grab another cap cut?

Kamerion Wimbley (11 mil cap hit)

Aaron Curry (5.75 mil)

Michael Huff (9.8 mil)

Tommy Kelly (6 mil)

John Henderson (4 mil)

Those are just a few options they might have to release

Not really..Maybe Kelly for depth on the DL, but other than that, meh..

Wimbley, Huff, and Curry would all be huge additions.

IDK...I just feel if we are going to go out and add Michael Huff at 9.8M, we should keep that $$ and keep Brandon Carr..

Wimbley would be decent, but again, would he warrant 11M in cap room while we have so many holes to fill on the OL 1st?

If we can sure up our most glaring holes (OL) and resign our home grown talent (Carr) first, then I wouldn't have any problem taking a look at these guys..

That's currently what they are making and reasons they are potential players to get cut... if they are cut they sign new contracts. Routt was scheduled to make a lot more than what we signed him to.

Take a chance on Curry...why not. Played a lot better in Oakland than Seattle.

Yes I agree with Curry. He could be an interesting pickup to pair with DJ if the price is right.

I would love to add a major athlete like Curry to line up between Hali, Dj, and Houston! Wimbley would be great too! Not only just incase if Houston doesn't live up to expectations, but the Giants proved you can't have too many passrushers! Would be a lot better than the just having one we've been used to! But actually I believe he's from Kansas isn't he? Crennel also drafted him in the first round in Cleveland. Imagine Huff and Berry as our starting safeties too!

Will be interesting to see who gets cut... but didn't they just trade for Curry and Wimbley?

I think they gave a 3rd for Wimbley 2 seasons ago..I dont see them letting him go. He provides a decent pass rush for them. I think they gave a later round pick for Curry..it'll be interesting for sure. Id be happy with Curry. Maybe Currys just one of those players that takes 4-5 years to get into the game.

Doesn't matter what they gave for them, I read they are still something like 11 mill over the cap. If cant make room some of these guys are going. Would be be nice to scoop 1 or 2 of them up!

I would love to be the first team to give Aaron Curry a crack at the 3-4. Other than that, the only Raider I would touch is Michael Bush. He's already gonna be a free agent and would be a perfect compliment to Jamaal Charles.

Bush probably headlines my pick at RB free agents, but the problem with him is he is going to sign with a team that gives him more money than we are giving Charles. At least that's what he wants.

Bush and I think Curry will get cut and he would be great in the Middle with DJ, the pressure would be off of him to be a huge contributer.

Lol I have been saying Bush for awhile, and he won't get cut he is already a FA. I would love Curry also. Hell I wanted to draft him. Curry is more likely. Bush is probably wanting a payday more than we are willing to give him.

There are a few RBs available that can bring some of the same things that Bush can bring. Hillis would be a cool addition I think instead of Bush.

Hillis best years were with Daboll.

Exactly.

Don't forget about Tolbert

Tolbert would be nice also. I think Hillis or Tolbert are best case scenario for RB.

The chiefs are expected to try to resign mcclain..so unless we plan on making mcclain our 2 rb and bringing in another fb, I don't see tolbert if hillis stopping in kc..

Put a NT infront of him here and he achieves greatness

McClain will probably be our "fullback" again next year.

McClain didn't help us much in the redzone last season. So I would still think that Tolbert or more likely Hillis could be looked at. Would prefer Bush out of all. But his price tag could be to large.
