And we think our FO is stupid

[John813]

So the Raiders are paying Brown less than $17 million a year based on that $50.125 million deal. That's a steal for the best receiver in football.

What do people think Cooper is going to cost?

Watch the fanbase turn on Cooper in the next year when his agent asks for him to get paid big time. Hoping it happens to watch posters pull a 180 on Coop

He made this trade for a 3rd + 5th + #1 WR and got a 1st + #1 WR. IMO not too shabby.

And AB is an upgrade compared to the pooper.

Btw: what do you think Cooper is going to cost us ?

Right. Let’s see. How would we like Brown and a 1st round pick?

And we’re assuming Cooper won’t fizzle out like he did in Oakland. I’d say the verdict is still out.

How are we going to pay Cooper, Dak, Elliott , our OL and keep any type of defense?

If Gruden uses those picks wisely he can turn the tide in Oakland.

I'd like to know what some fans seem to think Cooper is actually going to cost. They apparently have no clue.

Im beginning to wonder who’s NOT going to get paid?

If we are paying Dak, Cooper, Elliott and OL how will we be able to pay our defense ?

Someone’s not going to get paid.

No, our FO is stupid. My gosh 23 years no NFC championship. If they give Dak 28 million, that's enough proof to me. Dak will end up getting suspended. He lacks any common sense.

28 Million a year..is there a reason to pay him this year? If there's no discount for pre-pay I'd wait

Chucky is literally destroying the Raiders. At this rate, they won't have a team worth watching at their new hometown of Las Vegas in another 2-3 years. What a huge mistake it was hiring Jon Gruden.

It may not be Gruden doing all of this. I am sure he has input, but Davis, what is his first name, Mike? may be calling the shots as well.

Wasn't he the one who approved the Cooper and Mack trades over Gruden? Or a big part of it.

The Raiders make me appreciate the Cowboys FO so much.

Really? The Cowboys front office could serve as a warning to other NFL franchise owners who might think that they too could be the GM and hire their kids to help.

The Dallas fanbase, especially on here, turn on everything and and everyone no matter what.
If it doesn't fit their objectives and agendas and the way they live their own life, they will find a way to complain.

Sounds like the Raiders housed the Steelers. 3 & 5 for best receiver in the league. I honestly wish we could do this. The Raiders need to hit on their draft picks and keep this momentum going. Get a RB, protect Carr and you got something.
The only downside is if Carr cannot get the ball to AB.

You know the old saying, “you build your team around aging WRs”...

 

[CouchCoach]

I am sorry, I do not feel better about our FO after this thread. Those that do are happy about the cap space now and next season but is this not still that same brain trust that put the team in cap hell.

There sure is a lot of speculation going on without a down being played yet. Does it look questionable what Gruden is doing? Yep but it always looks questionable what the Joneses are doing.

 

[lukin2006]

You are right, why not just play the season out, even franchise if need be. No way he is worth more than 15 million.

 

[PUSHfold]

The difference in the raise in pay AB just signed up for doesn't even cover the taxes he will be paying in California, so there is no real raise going to him.

HAHAHA this is EXACTLY what I was thinking...he should have moved to a TX team or a team without income taxes....California....bleh and bleh again.

Wasn't that what the late Al Davis did?

They have one of the 5 worst defenses in the league. I don’t think they’re going anywhere.

Not sure you're the one that should be talking about "brain trust" here.

 

[Creeper]

Why not wait and see the results on the field before we dump on the Raiders. To me, on paper, it looks like the Raiders traded Cooper for a 1st round draft pick then traded for AB, who is better than Cooper, for a 3rd and 5th. On paper it looks like the Raiders come out ahead. We are assuming AB will be a locker room problem, but that is not a certainty. I think some Cowboys fans just may not recognize what a team with a strong HC looks like. Gruden is showing he has total control of his team.

Yes...Why would that be a good thing? You are aware that Jerry saw Al Davis as a role model?
