Mandatory Mini Camp June 9th-June 11th

Unread post by KillerRaider30 »

May 18, 20-21, 26, and 28-29, followed by a final session on June 1-4.

These workouts are held at the Intermountain Health Performance Center in Henderson, Nevada.

They serve as the voluntary Phase 3 of the team's offseason program, where 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted without live contact.

Following OTAs, the Raiders are scheduled to hold their mandatory minicamp from June 6-11.

Koonce has done nothing to show he is worth what he was paid last year or this year. He’s been inconsistent and half a season of production primarily from 3 games. If you want to talk about reallocation of funds in the edge room, I’d start there.
Yes, that is what I read about Paye more of a run stopper than a pass rusher. Sets the edge for the run defense, has to be very disciplined to see the play, not the misdirections that are thrown to fool them.

The thing about Koonce, is I much rather would have seen him sign a 2 year deal, $5M in the first year and $8M (w/production incentives) in the 2nd. Recovery from ACLs is 1 year after surgery, but to regain what you were pre-injury takes about 18 months. Definitely an expensive experiment to see if those 3 games can translate into 17 games.

The fact that he basically got 2 years 20 mill is wild to me.


Paye’s sacks 4,6,8.5,8,4 while providing very good support in the run game.

Koonce 2,0,8,injured, 4.5.

I think people will be pleasantly surprised with Paye

Koonce signed a rookie contract 4 years 5 mil, then got a 1 year extension for 11 mil, and this year re-signed for another 11 mil...Highway robbery he needs to start earning that $$$$

Kwitty Paye couldn't hold Jared Verse's f[raiders_icon]cking jock strap. Stop.

I hope so. I thought he was signed to replace Maxx after the failed trade. Definitely need the depth.

Verse will be fine there. Cleveland at least has a respectful defense.

Yup, Cleveland is a franchise without a real compass right now.

That was with arguably the best defensive player in the league. It'll be interesting to see how far they fall off. Verse might be good but he's not close to Myles Garrett good

Verse also had a really good group around him. Linemen could not key on one player like they can in Cleveland. But we do have to consider, the level of competition in those two divisions are polar opposites as well.
