Veldeheer -> Cards | Saffold -> Raiders

Expected, as was the Houston thing. I love this team

Why the hell would they release him, makes no sense unless Jerry is putting them into rebuild mode.

He got old. He was pretty bad last year. Not too healthy at this point either.

Jerry Jones has no idea what he's doing and overpays a bunch of mediocre players.

Phenomenal deal for Monroe! :yay:

Can't believe that rumor actually came true, D'Z. :facepalm1: Why did you not use the franchise tag? Did those two really just not want to be there? That's the only possible explanation...

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

DMC re-signed what in the fuck

DMC re-signed what in the fuck

Read some reports that DMC is really really happy with the Raiders' new nutrition and workout plan they had for him, and expects better things for the future because of it.

Even if that handles the injuries, now it's time to fix the problem called "he sucks".

He shoulda went to Cincy for a 1,2 punch with Bernard. Hue was the only coach who could get DMC to produce

Man, for this being Reggie McKenzie's make or break year he certainly seems hell bent on breaking. This is about as depressing a start to FA as I could have imagined short of tossing in Schaub to really push me toward suicide.

What's the upside with DMC? Seems like even if DMC is healthy and motivated like they expect him to be, Reece and Rashad are simply better players. And then there's that Murray dude you like.

Put on some 2010/11 highlights. He played like a top 5 RB under Hue. When he doesn't have to make reads and he can just cut and go he was really productive. The last two seasons since Hue left he looks completely lost.

Ultimately though its another 1 year deal so its not too worrisome unlike big V and Houston Saffold situation. ugh

This game he/the Raiders had vs the Jets was the peak of things under Hue IMO. 2011. They had been to back to back AFCCG and their D was vaunted. DMC went to town, we went to 4-2 and seemed like division champs. He got lisfranc soon after and we collapsed late

DAMN. He looked SO fast in that clip.

Yeah the Lisfranc injury really seemed to slow him, he and his numerous lower-leg injuries are probably doing a number on his OVR and DUR by this point, right?

He never really looked right physically last year, but again, so many of his issues are mental and not seeing holes (sort of like T-Rich but not as pathetic) he can't really show off his physical abilities. I just find it weird because Jennings clearly outplayed him all of last year. Maybe this is a sign we like Murray and want DMC for another year to split carries with him? Or that Sheets guy we signed? Who knows. You know my stance on the RB position ultimately

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Actually read this out loud:

Jared Veldheer to Arizona for 5 years 35 million
Roger Saffold to Oakland for 5 years 42 million

/wtf man

I want to cry this is so dumb. THE RAMS BROUGHT IN JAKE FUCKING LONG TO PLAY LT BECAUSE SAFFOLD COULDN'T. NOW WE PAY HIM 42 MILL TO REPLACE OUR LT WHO WAS SUPERIOR AND CHEAPER? MCKENZIE! FUCK YOU GUY! I MEAN! REALLY! FUCK YOU GUY!
