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

What's the complaint?
We usually overpay for bad players.

Sounds like Ravens offered Linenbaum 22-23 million a year. To sign him away we were going to have to trump that by quite a bit.

i just did. as usual, i posted too soon...sigh

wonder who this means get the boot in the wr room. i actually would have liked to see donte thortnon playing under a real coaching staff, bech seems locked in for a bigger role. ah well. there's still have a key o-lineman signed (linderbaum) who many here wanted so won't complain on this other signing

Couple things, Mendoza has to be happy with this.

And it is a three year deal, which means we will still have our QB on his rookie deal so it is a wash as far as salary is concerned.

Finally, we can hit it out of the park if we get Ioane or Proctor in the first round.

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

They juat gave him a well needed and deserved year off for a calf, so maybe is body has healed up.

Yup in 3 years we can draft one because Mendoza will be more of a vet.

I'd still like Coogan in the 4th

I wouldn't even if cared if we gave Lindy 30 mil a year. Some of y'all are absolutely nuts if you think we overpaid.

We had the worst center situation I have seen in over 50 years as a raiders fan. After QB it was priority #1. Had to do it. No complaints. All good.

And look at what is happening at center this off-season all over the league. It’s obviously a key position on any NFL team that must be done right.

This is the corner stone of the whole off season next to Mendoza. We build off these guys.

Plus, he is going to make everyone else on the line better by making sure the other linemen know what they are doing. Our revolving door at Center was pathetic.

Jeanty, Mendoza, Linderbaum, Bowers, Kolton.

GREAT move. Essentially traded Max to the Ravens for our boy and 2 FRP's. The best thing is that we weakened the Ravens after trading max. The Ravens may have some problems in the middle of their OL.
