Debate the rankings all you want (like Kris Dielman being at #65 when he'll probably get the 2nd biggest payday at OG this year behind Steinbach), but I thought the list was interesting. There's slightly more depth in this FA class than I thought at first glance. And while I don't think any of the top-10 guys are going to get suckered into coming to Oakland, except for maybe Leonard Davis, there are some possibilities here.

Signing a guy like Davis and then possibly either Dielman, C. Coleman, or D. Dockery at OG would do wonders for the offensive line. Sprinkle in a run at Daniel Graham at TE or Kendrick Allen and Ian Scott at DT and Oakland might be able to get a couple of guys via FA that could make an immediate impact.

Personally, I think Oakland needs to sign Terdell Sands to an extension now while he'll still come on the cheap. I think a lot of teams are going to be intrigued by a 6'7" 335lb. DT. Get Sands extended, sign a guy like Allen or Scott to rotate with him and move Tommy Kelly back outside to DE to replace Brayton.

There's also some intriguing options at RB if Oakland chooses to let Jordan go. Ahman Green, Jamal Lewis, Dominic Rhodes... some relatively big-name guys.
 
Totally agree on Sands. We need to sign Big Terd to a contract and pick up another big fat guy to clog up the middle.. either by draft of FA. I wouldn't mind having several of the DT's on that list on our squad if we can't / don't draft a quality guy in April.
 
Gawd damn this is what free agency is going to look like in March.

ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed third-year veteran LB Daryl Smith to a five-year extension through the 2012 season. The deal is worth $25 million and includes $10 in bonuses. Smith will earn $15 million in the first three years of the deal.

Teams just have way too much money to spend when they're paying restricted free agents $5 million bucks a year.
 
What are the chances the rams allow Little to slip away?

Non?

Nice post Natty (as usual). I bolded the cats I would love to snag. It would never happen but imagine if we landed Freeney to compliment Burgess. :eek:
 
Imagine if we had Jared Allen opposite D Burgess? Too bad he's a RFA but homeboy's going to get paid either way.

Don't know why Ryan Lilja is ranked so low? He was All Pro a year ago. Hell if we can come out of this with at least one decent OL and a TE, I'd be happy. I don't see Eric Johnson's name on the list.
 
Moves I'd be happy to make ...

I'm already mentally preparing myself for a free agency like last year. The shape we're in right now is not something a top tier free agent is going to want to step into.

Of course they aren't.

And either is a top #1 pick prospect. I fully expect to be "Eli-ed".
 
Big difference between a free agent and a draftee. The free agent is still going to get his money and has control of where he winds up. If a draftee says don't pick me #1 and ends up dropping to say #5 then he's just cost himself $25 million bucks over 6 years.
 
Its not as bad as it seems fellas. Lets not forget we have a monster young D and a great DC. We have alot of picks this year and WALSH is gone. It sucks to be us right now but lets not get too down. Fuck everybody hating on us, as usual. Im not suprised to see us get punked in the media by these clowns. If you notice Sarkl said he didnt want to wait. That means Al really wants to talk to a coach still playing. If he wanted Sark he would have had him IMO. Are #1 draft pick should get traded and we wont have to worry about no BS.

I wonder (seriously) how many of those would even consider coming to the Oakland Raiders. Clearly the top FA, iIMO, will opt for other teams with better opportunities.
 
That list is light at DT IMO, but solid at DE. I think we'll have to draft a Day-1 DT to be our next run stuffer, or at least part of the DT rotation.

Charles Grant, Jared Allen, Justin Smith all sound good to me.
 
I can't see KC letting Jared Allen walk, he's their best defensive player but the good thing is that they're going to have to pay through the nose to keep him after coughing up some serious coin for Gonzo. I do agree that there is a nice crop of FA DE's out there. Hopefully we get that matching bookend for D Burgess.


We better take care of our own business first, namely Big Terd who'll unlikely get some play as well as Tommy Kelly. I'd go namely OL this offseason. I'm not getting my hopes up for a Leonard Davis or Erich Steinbach. I'd be happy if we could get a Ryan Lilja, Derrick Dockery, Sean O'hara, more of the mid level guys. I'm also warming up to Jeremy Stevens based on the recommendations of one Mr. Bones.

I can't see KC letting Jared Allen walk, he's their best defensive player but the good thing is that they're going to have to pay through the nose to keep him after coughing up some serious coin for Gonzo. I do agree that there is a nice crop of FA DE's out there. Hopefully we get that matching bookend for D Burgess.


We better take care of our own business first, namely Big Terd who'll unlikely get some play as well as Tommy Kelly. I'd go namely OL this offseason. I'm not getting my hopes up for a Leonard Davis or Erich Steinbach. I'd be happy if we could get a Ryan Lilja, Derrick Dockery, Sean O'hara, more of the mid level guys. I'm also warming up to Jeremy Stevens based on the recommendations of one Mr. Bones.

I hoping beyond hope that guys like Gallery & Grove "wake up" in year 4 and players like McQuistan & Boothe continue to grow. Hopefully those that say coaching & scheme were the bigger culprits in their failure are right. Wouldn't that be something? Langston Walker appears gone, but who cares, that dude sucks in any scheme. Just doesn't have the "fire" it seems to me.

I tend to agree that Al won't pay through the nose for an Oline players, he's counting on the returning players to get better, probably 1 or 2 mid level veteran signings and a draft pick of two.

I could see him going after a FA TE & DE however.

Turdell Sands? Lock him up, NOW !!!!
 
I'm just down on Jake Grove. Donnie Edwards knocking him back on his ass really did it for me. You just can't coach toughnes. sI really hope we look for a center via draft (Satele or Kyle Young) or let Chris Morris compete for the starting job. Center is such an integral part of an OL.. After BRobb went postal our OL has been in disarray
 
We'll be lucky to land one marquee name in free agency.

If Rob Ryan is named the head coach sooner rather than later, and we can draft a ray of hope like AP or Russell or Quinn, we could land 2 or 3 in the offseason.

I'm betting on a mid-tier guy on that list, like Hank Fraley, Ryan Long, Cory Redding, Kendyl Jakox or Cosey Coleman.

The top fifty on that list won't touch this clusterfuck.

I don't know man, maybe you're right, but money still talks. We'll have to overpay at times, but at least we have room to play with. I do think that AL will make at least one significant FA move on defense (probably DE) and a couple of solid veteran signings on offense. The draft will net our "money" players quite possibly.
