Looks like an almost completely new roster in Jokeland. Should be interesting this season.

They just signed 2 of the top 3 CB's on the 49ers roster this past season, can't really say that's a bad thing.

That's gonna be a better team, there's no question.

The Raiders are better. Yes they added talent, but this offseason is like a handbook in how to spend money just to spend money. Compare what the Raiders did to the Broncos. The Broncos signed pretty young, still in their prime players, that their former team would've loved to keep. I'm trying to think of the player Oakland signed that their former team wasn't like, meh, go ahead, we're fine. Brown maybe?

Well when you have 70 million to spend you have to spend money to spend money. I don't think they've signed any bad contracts short front loaded deals don't kill teams.

I think you are confused. The league office is non-profit but the individual teams pay taxes. The vast majority of the money is held with the teams.

I mentioned this the other day but nobody was apparently paying attention.

The Raiders HAVE to spend money. They were teetering on having to pay fines for hoarding too much money...

Yep, so they're in position to front load short deals to vets because they have to.

I think at the end of the day they're a better team now than they were at the end of the season.

Back off!! All you're schiitts are belong too us!

Which young, in their prime players did the Donks sign? I must have missed those signings.

Oakland signed some vets, who still should have a couple good years left, and didnt' break the bank signing them. Oakland looks to have similar cap room next offseason as well. How about the Chiefs? Well, giving a player like Bowe over 11 mill per season is hamstringing your ability to sign players to fill the gaps in your squad.

The Broncos signed TJ Ward and Emmanuel Sanders, both ascending players just entering their primes...

The Raiders had to spend the money... Don't give me the "At least they are trying" bullshit...

Well we had cap room like that when Pioli was here and he sat around with his thumb up his ass.

Agreed. I'm not saying the Raiders aren't better, but they HAD to spend money. And they got a bunch of people you can say, hey, I know his name, about. They had a few savvy signings, but most seem like they are about 4 years too late.

My Saints fan coworker just told me the raiders just traded 3 picks for Jimmy Graham?

The Raiders are spending money, but that hasn't made the Redskins contenders in the past, nor did it work for the Eagles when they were being called the "dream team" a few years ago.

Talent without coaching and leadership isn't going to take them anywhere, we'll see if they have either of those in quantity.
