Twitter: Raiders sign Tahir Whitehead

[Alexander]

He's a two down player. I like him but not for any real money

This does likely put Bowman in our laps and sets us up to draft the right lb without reaching.

So the Raiders played right into our cleverly crafted plot?

Might as well start talking about the draft because that is the only place we can add talent now.

The draft is like gigging a flounder for us...these players aren't going to get away lol

 

[visionary]

I wonder if it's simply a numbers game and we couldn't fit him because of Suh and Mathieu's new contracts. Plus that big name DB we signed.

No
It was because 'we like our guys' and are all set at LB
No empty chairs in the LB room

 

[Zekeats]

I'd rather get Preston Brown but we won't get him because this team is allergic since 1995 to guys who can tackle.

I know the phrase with Texans in my family, but every time I hear "gigging a flounder", it still sounds like some perverted thing someone could get arrested for.

We only needed a two down LB.

Bowman would be nice though.

Shut up already.

I must be the only person to not have your boring nonsense on mute

3 years 6m........

Wow what a steal . He’s honestly not far off from Hitchens. Great signing. It’s obvious these players want to play for gruden. When they look at dallas they just think Garrett and hang up the phone.

I like Bowman. Surprised Raiders didn't keep him. I get 16 Raider games a year...he was a solid addition

Because we have three or four better ones in line already?

This is likely 6 mill per year. Not 6 mill overall

•Josey Jewell,LB-Iowa
•Micah Kiser,LB-Virginia
•Fred Warner,LB-Byu

3 LB options beyond Rds 1 and 2......if we choose to go that direction.

Still a good deal TBH him and Hitchens are fairly similar getting him for 3 mill less.

 

[AbeBeta]

No. Because I don't want to spend big money on a jag who keeps us from a better investment in the draft.

But please, keep getting jealous that teams are signing guys you never heard of until this week

If you think either are worth more than 4 mill a year then you better change your username to Pollyanna.

 

[AzorAhai]

I know. I joke because the alternative is to cry over this franchise's rotting corpse.

I’ve moved past the grieving phase. Join the apathetic phase. It’s easier this way.

 

[CATCH17]

The Cowboys are going to quadruple down on signing terds on Free Agency.


They never learn.

 

[Rogerthat12]

We let one slip out of our grasp.

Savor the flavor, Oakland.

At least we tried...I think...

In 2002 dexter coakley got a 5 year 25 million dollar deal man. You’re living in the past. Hitchens was estimated to get 6.5- 7 million a year and Whitehead 7.5 a year.
