Raiders might not franchise Zach Miller

Per Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune (reported in Rotworld).

Wednesday's Richard Seymour extension opened up this possibility, but McDonald is "not sure the Raiders are eager to pay (Miller) $7.3 million." They'd certainly have a bigger budget if they hadn't overpaid Seymour. McDonald suggests that Miller could wind up with a restricted free agent tender, costing less than half of the franchise number for tight ends.

While I'm pulling primarily for Barnidge, Miller is a no brainer as long as he's not looking to break the bank.

Rivera would certainly know him well from his AFC West days.

If the CBA leaves him a restricted free agent though, they could still put a high tender offer on him :(

i would easily take miller or marcedes lewis over anyone we have on the roster or any who would be available in the draft.

raiders would be making a mistake to not franchise him. he mightget taken up quick, esp. if they only use the 2nd round tender on him. probably will be the first and 3rd or just the first, though. that might be harder to justify.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      I’m happy most of us are on the same page about this team finally taking the fs position seriously. I’d be happy with a draft like this. I think we’re in a prime position to transform this defense to elite with a good draft like this.    I’d also be happy if we went all offense too, which SHOULD increase the offense productivity from last year but we have some questions on that side of the ball regardless.    I think the best defense wins the division easily and we’ve seen time and time again, how far an elite defense can take you.
