Do we have team MVP awards? Never hear about it.

no but coaches will tell the media that so and so was the MVP of their team this year.
Much like the cardinals DC did with Richard Marshall this offseason.

I would take both Branch and Marshall, we could use more leaders or "team MVPs"
 
My question is why the hell are we talking about bringing in 3 or 4 Raiders players when their D was AWFUL last year?
 
If I could only fix one thing this off season, and needed for it to at least be gulp size. Then I would take safety, fix it, and leave it with a potential five year window of finally being fixed.

I like Tyvon Branch, or Huff.

Actually, yes we do. They're awarded just before training camp every year at that lunch banquet thing.

Hey im sure somebody would want Ware, Jekins, lee or Rat

Even though our D was disgusting last year.

Just saying bro, we could find treasure in another mans trash

Yeah good point, just because a defense is bad doesn't mean they don't have good players.

New England had the 31st ranked defense but I guess Dallas wouldn't want Wilfork.

Our D was average.. theirs was just bad.

(Statistically)

You make a point, but we had those type of years as well.

If we had a vote for MVP of last season, Ware and Lee would get serious consideration. Rat and Jenkins, not so much. Both were good, but not at the level of the other two.

Who would be our MVP?

Romo
Ware
Lee
Murray
Beuhler

Romo for everything he went through and still put up great numbers.

Defense would be split of Ware Lee

Sometimes a change of teams where the chemistry might be a better mix works

Romo and it's not even close.
 
Back to the topic....We need to make a serious run at either Branch or Griffin. There isnt much else in FA or the draft that will help this team out at FS. We need someone who isnt a liability in coverage at safety for once, because its been a while.
 
I don't know why anyone wouldn't want Tyvon. He's better than anyone we have had at the position in years.

Our D was no prize last year.

But just about any team in the league would be happy to take 3 or 4 of our guys if they came free.

I understand that.. but you have to wonder if these guys are the three best players on that defense, would the Raiders really just cut them all (or 2 of the 3) to save salary?

I'd maybe look at Wimbley and Branch if the money was reasonable, though it sounds like Wimbley wants to get paid again.
