Chris Gamble's deal looks like a steal for what Asomugha got....

Raiders didn't overpay this time. It's probably the best decision they've made in a while. The guy is SHUT DOWN. He shut down Smith man.

So a three deal worth 50 million in guaranteed money is worth it??????? The first two years of his deal are like a giant signing bonus, the0 the third year is as well if the team picks it up. The whole contract is like a giant signing bonus, the raiders used 29 million over the first two years in guaranteed money. if he gets hurt they don't get that back.

I don't think Oak overpayed. He is the only true shutdown corner now in the league. Gamble has been abused a fair amount every year w/ this past season being the only exception.....it was tough to tell if he really improved or if the Lucas/Godfrey combo was just too tempting for opponents.

Also, the Raiders overpay for their players. Look Tommey last season, that DT that no one has ever heard about...

the raiders have the worste FO ever. they over pay EVERY year. wow. this deal is retareded. al davis knows he only has a few years left, and he is tryin to buy a succesful team NOW, doesnt care about the future state of the game

9 MIL guaranteed to their punter too. WOW! just wow. :confused:

    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4. 
    • Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
