Signing him to that contract for 3 years. It was a head-scratcher then and remains so now.

I was wanting to cut him and save the $2M in cap room last year.  Instead of letting him walk and upgrading, we give him a new deal?  Joe Brady is gone, so the TE position actually exists again on this team.  Problem being, we simply don't have a receiving threat.

 Currently the 23rd paid TE by average salary. Whats head scratching about that?thar? That's got to be as low a contract as it gets for a veteran signed this past year 

Do you think he's anywhere close to the 23rd best TE in the league? I don't.

I honestly doubt he would've gotten anywhere near that on the open market.

Outside of Taysom Hill, who is now listed as a TE, this is the cream of the crop here.  There's about 8 more after this, then you get to Thomas.  So you have the top elite and top tier guys, second tier, then Ian Thomas?  I don't buy that at all.  He's getting TE1 money because that's where he's at on the depth chart, not because he's actually TE1 material.

Again, unless Baker totally craps the bed, I want Micheal Mayer in the draft next year.  I don't want to wait almost a freaking decade to fill Olsen's shoes like we did to fill Gross'.

this has been popping up over in reddit as well. It would probbaly be a player swap, like Robbie. Cowboys need a WR bad.. and we need a TE. I dont see this FO sneding out anymore picks especially early ones. 

I’m kind of thinking RA might have a good season with McAdoo’s offense and Baker’s arm.

I think people heard about this salary being high  but never looked at it in detail or with context.

Because he seems to have zero upside and large limitations at this point, so why sign him to that contract?

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
