I’ve decided to do a quick mock here, and I plan to do one last mock once the combine is over. This mock will also include free agency and what not.

Re-signings:

Antwan Applewhite- 3 year deal

Geoff Hangartner- 2 year deal

Geoff Schwartz- 2 year deal

Mackenzy Bernadeau- 1 year deal

Thomas Williams- 4 year deal

Jeremy Shockey- 2 year deal

Derek Anderson- 1 year deal

Restructure:

Charles Johnson

Travelle Wharton

Thomas Davis

Extension:

Steve Smith

Free agents:

Mario Williams- 7 year deal

Erin Henderson- 2 year deal

Michael Huff (some predict the Raiders could release him)- 2 year deal

NFL Draft

1st Pick

Michael Brockers

UPWSDXYXAVDYMJP.20100609193357.jpg

Height: 6’ 7”

Weight: 322

He is bigger than previously assumed and has massive potential. I heard one quote saying his coach called him a better DT than John Henderson. I can believe that even more so now with these measurables. Last year, our young rookies got pushed around like rag dolls, yet with Brockers, even if he does not live up to his potential, would still be like trying to move a tank for O-lineman. I’ve also heard from Todd McShay that Brockers have some pass rushing ability. So all in all, Brockers could wind up doing for our defense, what Cam did for our offense. (Especially if we can get Mario Williams with this line)

I don't see how we could be 9 million over the cap, re-sign all those guys, sign our rookies and come up with 12 million to give Williams.

I think we should just move on from that

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we are nine million over the cap. I do hear a lot of figures however.

Yeah, there isn't an official cap number yet, but there is speculation it will be around 120

We’ve got a little update to our earlier item on salary-cap figures for 2012. ESPN’s John Clayton has a very interesting note about how part of the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement allows teams to carry over unused salary-cap room from 2011.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have $60.5 million, which ranks second only to Kansas City ($62.9 million). The Bucs benefit from $23.5 million in carryover money. The Falcons will have $30.6 million in cap space.

But the Panthers remain $9.6 million over the estimated cap ($120 million) and will have to release some players or restructure contracts before the start of the league year in March.

I guess the way I see it, most of our guys should re-sign for small money due to all the injuries and back-up statuses they have. Jeremy Shockey would be the one I worry about, but if he wants to get paid too much, I would release him. (He is about to retire after all) When it comes to Michael Huff, I see him as just wanting to prove himself as a player, and shouldn't demand top dollar. (He's only had one good season for the Raiders) Erin Henderson is an up and coming player, so he would be given a decent contract.

Mario would truly be the only big signing when I look at that list. It would be a bad squad to have.

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
