We Got Linderbaum

[Attyla]

bam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rabidraider]

Raiders still have approx 74 million left with Geno's cap going to cover the new cornerback from Buffalo. Just need to add Stokes number against the 74 million. Also the money needed to cover draft pick,s needs to be counted against the cap.

[Goodtimes333]

Glaze should probably be a backup guard / tackle. With better coach he is probably a fine reserve.

He can battle for a guard spot and be good depth for sure. He's not a throwaway

[SuperRaider]

Sure the guy is overpaid; but what can you do….offer him a 3 year deal paying 60 million would be kinda the same deal the ravens offered and he would just resigned with the ravens….we really had to go overboard to get him….

Miller is going to be pissed.

[Spurs Raider]

Remove Glaze. From RT at least

Yes it’s still an area to improve.

Perhaps we double dip on the O-Line and go Dunker 2nd round or look at someone like Markel Bell later as a day 3?

In any case, Spytek is targeting the right areas and let’s see who else we bring in prior to the draft.

Miller is going to be pissed.

Huh? Why?

[Marzan]

We effectively traded Crosby for Lindenbaum and two firsts

Yup. Spy played 3d chess here.

This is big. Biggest FA move we could make and great investment to protect our QB. We have money to burn right now so who cares about the price.

[BlackShield]

what in the hell is going on here?

raiders releasing turd players then making solid moves in the offseason in preparation for the draft like resigning stokes...am i imagining?

i'm relieved...put the $$$ in the offensive and defensive lines, no more big money offseason splashes on wide receivers that don't pan out (i signed on today half expecting the announcement that alec pierce was a raider)

and protecting the investments made on younger players jeanty (and soon, fernando)

get that x receiver in the draft r2/3, - give the young wideouts on the roster already a chance to play under a real coaching staff

and if they don't pan out - you have multiple picks in the first two rounds of next year's draft to get a stud

we say this every offseason, but...this is looking up

[rich72]

Man thats a lot of money, Im happy we got him but damn.

Eh, if you don't have an elite RT, you don't have a RT. This is a familiar situation for many other teams in the league. Many of them are unhappy with their RT. It's not an easy spot to solve, and it's a very expensive position to fix in free agency. I think folks should refrain from judging the guys on this roster too harshly considering who was coaching the team. We've already invested pretty heavily on the OL, but Spytek hasn't been able to evaluate his prospects. Linderbaum was our big addition, LG is a black hole still. I don't see us adding a RG or RT.

[NewEraX25]

Miller is going to be pissed.

I mean it's $22M a year with $42M guaranteed, he is still one of the highest paid Tackles in the league.

[rich72]

Huh? Why?

Hes only getting 22 per year for LT.

Don't go and look at who we just agreed to terms with.

[haji81872]

Sorry, wrong thread.

[FlyBono24]

Mendoza has his center. Perfect.

Reminds me of when we got Rodney Hudson. Now build out the rest of this OL and let's feast

Maybe look at an LT in the draft to eventually replace Kolton, he's been injured every year
