@Adam_Schefter:

Filed to ESPN: Raiders and Sebastian Janikowki reached agreement on richest K contract in NFL history - 4 yrs, $16m, $9m guaranteed.

-as a side note, He is probably the most productive guy on the team. he made sever kicker over 40+ yards, and one over 60 yards. and only got to attempt 10 extra points (bc the Raiders sucks).

a lot of people are over-exaggerating this and saying it was a dumb move, but let's be real for a recond:

1) He is pretty much the only consistently good thing on the Raiders offense, and was the leading scorer. The guy busted a 61 yard FG, his range is flat out ridiculous.

2) No star player is going to stay in Oakland unless they are paid a lot of money.

I still don't understand the hate. I'd pay the guy this much to have him here. He's the best kicker in the league, and only 30 years old, he's still got a good 10+ years since he's a kicker.

You guys wouldn't want a kicker who can crush a 55+ yarder accurately with no hesitation?

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I don't know if Canales is any good as a head coach yet, but he has done well with our non-XL receivers. I personally think he is handicapped by a key personnel and that is partly out of his hands for the next couple weeks. He's also very young, so will absolutely have head scratchers and growing pains. But outside of Wilks he's probably already out best HC since Rivera, which isn't saying much, and imo his ceiling is unknown vs Wilks' which is unfortunately very well known.

      XL about to turn the corner

      That's not what Bryce was pitched to be. Nor was the, what, 4th or 5th Tepper rebuild iteration? That's the problem with all this. You trade all this draft capital up to get these guys(Bryce, XL, etc) and then when they get their opportunities they can't hack it. As I have said many times, I view this as less of a development issue as I do an evaluation issue. We just suck at identifying talent correctly. It fails us all too often. If it was solely development, so many of these guys that left here after being failed draft picks would be studs. That is literally almost never the case.

      XL about to turn the corner

      I remember the days when it would take WRs a few years to figure it out in the NFL...  What a time that was! Getting to the point of guys finding success else where after flopping here:  patience and a vision. Thanks to Tepper, we haven't been able to develop a vision.  Without patience, everything is a reaction. That's not to say sometimes you can tell when a fit it bad and people need to move on.  In XLs case, it's not going to hurt us to be patient.   Sure, fans see how Tmac is doing and are like "XL who??"  I get it, but I also think reacting for the sake of reacting isn't the best thing to do. Should XL get off social media for a bit and focus on the game?  Yes.  As Cam screamed "Lock in bro!"   I know being patient is hard when you see guys get off to fast starts in their careers.  Tepper can't really afford to be reactive right now.  He's got to let Dan and Dave have the time to build their team. Most of us are Panther fans.  We're the idiots here, year after year, hoping things have changed.  Most of us will continue to do so, and hope things turn around.  While some of us will balk at the salary cap, contracts and wasted years; it doesn't affect us personally since we're just fan. Now for those folks on the teams...yeah...they need to get it together before they lose their jobs and have to move!
