Mr. Scot

Because if any other team signs a good player, we're DOOMED!

I remember saying that as soon as Hardy signed elsewhere, a solid percentage of the board would go full on stupid. Looks like some folks are getting an early start.

Was tweeted by Josina Anderson last week. Aaron Wilson did say he's visiting the Steelers today though (Anderson mentioned them being interested too).

Rivera prefers physical safeties.

Patrick Robinson is still rumored.

Which someone was stupid enough to offer him.

Kurt Coleman.

I actually think the DeCoud comparison is a good one if you go back to a few years ago when DeCoud was doing better.

That's hard to imagine. But full disclosure, I thought he'd already be signed by now, so...

They've told him the Exempt List doesn't stop him from signing a contract, but the verdict on his suspension is still on hold.

I'm trying to remember the last time there was a player the Raiders wouldn't touch. I had a feeling he might have a rough time in the post Ray Rice atmosphere, but it's starting to sound like it might be even harder than I thought. Maybe things will change after the word comes down on his suspension from the Commissioner.

That one hurt. I was amazed he wasn't cut on the spot.

Yeah we did.

If he holds on to the ball.

Well yeah Rodgers path is kinda unique in today's NFL, though. He got several years worth of prep in before getting his shot to start. These days, if a guy isn't an established starter by his second or third year on the league, people think he's a bust. I think that sucks, but that's the way it is now.

Not really, but that has little to do with what you're posting anyway.

Ouch

Oh the irony Look for attention elsewhere, kid. I've already given you more of mine than it's worth.

I think it'd have to be a long long way into free agency before that becomes an option. (definitely post draft, probably close to training camp at least)

Nah, there's plenty of rebuttal available. It's just not worth arguing with a twelve year old whose best comeback is the equivalent of "I know you are but what am I". It's boring. Declare victory to your heart's content, kid. You've still got nothing. (and quick FYI, this site requires you be over 18)

The talk coming out of Oakland is borderline hateful toward Hardy.

See, I gave you some options to help you out, but instead you responded like a petulant teenager. Sounds last ke I may actually have overestimated your age. You've got nothing to say, kid.

He has been great for that, hasn't he?

I hate to burst your bubble kid, but you dont have the firepower to shoot down a paper airplane. It's clear you know next to nothing about the business side of football. A lot of people don't so that can be forgiven, but you'd be wise not to act like you do because it makes you look bad when you get stuff wrong. I'm guessing you're in the 13-14 age range based on the silly argument that Gettleman deserves no credit for anything good but all the blame for everything bad. That's dumb, but not surprising coming from someone that age. You should grow out of that (I hope). But the lack of knowledge about the team though? That's pretty bad. Near as I can tell, you didn't even watch much - if any - of last season. How can you not know who guys like Andrew Norwell, Mike Remmers and Philly Brown are? Are you only interested in one player? It's a team sport, kid. But even if your focus is mostly on the QB (which happens) Newton isn't going anywhere for, at the very least, the next three years. And if he has to play under the franchise tag, given that he'll be getting paid a pretty hefty sum, I doubt he'll feel all that bad about it. My personal expectation is they'll get a deal done next offseason, but it could happen even during the season. Who knows? Bottom Line: Newton isn't going anywhere for a while, so you can quit panicking.
