Would be nice if they had a safety to swap for a kicker or running back or both.

Obi is on IR so their safety depth is shot.  I'd obviously GIVE a pick to get Gano's stink and salary outta here.

But if young safety depth is the goal, try and goad the Cardinals for Rudy Ford.  He barely made the 53 there (supposedly for special teams) and they have 5 safeties.  Phil Dawson (while better than Gano) is 42 so maybe they don't know how bad Gano is and can be bamboozled.  I would throw in an additional late rounder and/or Colin Jones if necessary.

Raiders would be stupid for this one. They could sign Josh Lambo off the street and he would be cheaper and younger with a slightly higher make percentage.

Edit: Just read the article, this is an opinion piece from a guy not associated with the Raiders. OP acting like they were in negotiations or something.

Lord don't let Hurney hear you say that.  That man will throw picks away like a snot rage if you get him stirred up.

Getting anything for Gano is a pipe dream. Knock me over with a feather if it happens. I'd certainly give a pick to get rid of Gano.  Gano and a pick for Ford is too good to be true.  Sigh.

Agree with harbinger.... gtfo with this Gano hate. He's a great kicker who had a few bad games. And off the field he's a better man than you could ever hope to be.

He may very well be Brittany, he may very well not be.  You don't know me.

I hate it too but he's poison to this football team.  XP Seattle 2015, XP New Orleans 2016, Super Bowl 50, week 1 2016, less than 80% career, paid to be a top kicker.

He must go.  I will wish him well when that day (hopefully today) inevitably comes, but he must.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
