Raiders are expected to release Terdell Sands

not too many guys with his size...would at least be good to stop the run

The Raiders are expected to release DT Terdell Sands before or during final roster cuts on September 5.

Sands has tumbled down the depth chart and didn't see a snap in Saturday's preseason game. He is even behind undrafted free agent Desmond Bryant.

He's been pretty terrible so far this year and ends up on his back every play. He's basically a fat version of Nick Hayden... actually probably worse than Hayden, if that's even possible. Not being able to beat out the sorry ass Raiders DTs is usually a good indication of just how bad you are.

We need to bring in a DT or two but this guy can't even beat out the scrubs on a sorry ass Raiders DLine. That should tell you all you need to know.

We need to bring in a DT or even two but this guy can't even make the team with the lack of talent on the sorry ass Raiders DLine. That should tell you all you need to know.

its the Radiers..how many times have players sucked with them.gone to better teams and been good..plus like i said not many DT will come with his size.

He didn't play in the 3rd preseason game because he's been beat out consistently by their other DTs to the point where he's behind an UDFA on the depth chart.

A couple times I'm sure. Let me ask, how many times have the Raiders had terrible players on their team that completely sucked through the rest of their careers even after leaving the Raiders?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
