I’d give a 4th rounder for him. Not sure if that’s enough in today’s market.

Apparently the Browns kept four QBs on their 53 man roster. They are likely trying to get anything for one of them or else releasing one of them. I would guess they would trade him for less than a fourth, but I wouldn't even bother with him.

Initial 53 Man Roster
Laube is 4th RB
McAllister and Keyton are WR5/6.
Regarding McAllister and Laube (and Abdullah), these new kickoff rules might make some new special teams stars. Some teams are gonna do better than others with this, and I want a staff that's valuing this part of the game. Right now, I would guess Abdullah and McAllister will be the top 2 guys.
Raiders kept 7 LB, that will likely change--but make Raider Nation happy for a while.
My man Nesta Jade made it over Matthew Butler. Useless tub of goo Byron Young made it. Janarious as last DE.
Chris Smith is 4th safety (I wonder if this could change, he hasn't shown much) Both rookie corners made it, I hope it stays that way. I think if they like another CB, one of the Amari LB will get cut, hopefully to the PS
There wasn't too much mystery this year. Decent amount of roster continuity.
EDIT: Oh, and if a decent backup G? Maybe a 4th OT? End the Peat Era?

Just need 1 more to fill out the league, I believe.Creating this thread to recruit Sharkpoolers to start an FBG Home League using their new offering this year...
***Official FBG Home League #________***
Let's start an FBG home league with 12 actual Sharkpoolers, rather than randoms. Once we get 12 to commit on this thread, we can set a time to get together online and collectively bombard a single $50 FBG home league, #TBD. And going forward this can serve as the official SP thread for the...forums.footballguys.com
I know some of you posted earlier that you'd be interested in a Raider-fan FBG league, so thought I'd give you all the heads up to go over to that thread and join. Would be fun to do a league with you all, after all these years together!

Raiders claimed DT Jonah Laulu, and cut Byron Young. Sweeeet
DA RAIDERS

There’s some decent players on that list. I hope they bring in at least one that has a track record of just being a hard working good team mate.
massraider
Footballguy
Facsyon went to IR, so 4 game minimum. He still ain't right, I guess.
Devonshire was cut, so they only have 4 right now. Sam Webb on PS, so yeah, looks like the gonna sign someone.
I am a bit surprised they kept 7 LB so far, but the two Amaris have both shown well this summer it seems.

Footballguy
From the news reel: Free-agent CB Darnay Holmes (Giants) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders Wednesday, Aug. 28. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Interesting tidbit just shared on the live presser w/ AP. AP has known Darnay since he was 13. Knows his father. And coached Darney when he was 17.
I like those types of connections.

Took davante at 2.08 in the Fbg draft. Had too. I wasn’t blown away with the other options and had to have a raider on the Fbg team. May the festival king throw to him all day every day

[Tashan Reed] Pierce said the #Raiders wanted to draft DT Jonah Laulu, who they claimed on the waiver wire after he was released by the Colts. He thinks he adds some more depth and juice at DT. He's a former edge rusher and will likely play 3-tech.

Interested to see how happy you guys are with the Raiders roster after season 1 with Telesco. Last season, 72 players played at least one snap for the Chargers on offense, defense, and/or special teams. As of right now, the Chargers have:
But it was always hard to know how to separate responsibility between Telesco and President of Football Operations John Spanos, the owner's son. If Telesco does a better job with the Raiders, that could imply Spanos had a big hand in those decisions. At least nowadays, it seems like Spanos is completely hands off and GM Hortiz is running the show.
Anyway, you guys probably don't care much about this, just a data point for consideration.
- 30 players on their 53 man roster from that group (and I don't expect backup QB Stick to last)
- 2 of 5 players on IR from that group
- 2 of 17 players on the practice squad from that group and 2 others who were on the practice squad last year

If you can find some stats that says if this is more than normal or not, then it’s a conversation to be had.

Footballguy
Ha. As a long suffering Raiders fan, it actually biases me AWAY from drafting any Raiders
massraider
Footballguy
Telesco didn't make any moves that I didn't understand. He behaved like a GM not worried about getting fired. Maybe after a couple years, and he's feeling pressure, maybe panics going after a QB or whatever.
The moves that inform my opinion of him this summer was:
getting Wilkins, which was a good move, and correcting a mistake made by a previous regime.
Drafting Bowers. BPA. This pick alone probably puts him in Raider GM Hall of Fame, for pete's sake.
The obvious 'reach' they made was a 3rd round OT, who has been really good all summer.
Obviously draft is TBD, as is free agency, but the next step will be the guys up for new deals. Those decisions, and outcomes, will matter a lot.
Tau837
Footballguy
Agree with all of this. Wilkins and Bowers seemed like good decisions to me. Not looking forward to facing them.
Reaching in the 3rd was a standard MO for Telesco with the Chargers; however, I would characterize 5 of his 12 3rd round picks as working out at least okay so far, and maybe that is fine for the 3rd round.

Looking more likely that I’m going to the game. The idea is to take my daughter to her first game. Need 4 tickets. Waiting till last minute
Chaka
Footballguy
Is waiting until the last minute the accepted "best" strategy?
I plan to be in Vegas on the 13th when the Steelers are in town and would love to make it to the game. Should I not be looking for tickets now? And where do you look for them at the last minute? Stubhub?
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
Historically yes. But that ticket is a tough one to get. I’m a gambler when it comes to tickets. I’ll wait till game day sometimes.
Chaka
Footballguy
Steelers travel like ###### #######, that's for sure.
I'm willing to gamble on it but, what do we think the cost savings could be relative to buying now?
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
It kind of depends on how much you’re looking to spend honestly, I don’t think it’ll be that much for that game so if you find something in your wheelhouse and you like where the seats are, I probably pull the trigger early
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
Those should come down to 300 range. Are there a lot of seats still available? That’s one of my markers whether to wait or not.

I went to the sunday night game last year against the steelers, the sweet spot was the Wednesday/Thursday before the game for ticket prices. They started going up saturday morning so I pulled the trigger on 4 of them at that point and by Sunday they had gone even higher. We sat in section 124 row like 13 and paid $545 a seat but there had been similar tickets for $375 on Wednesday
We are waiting til Saturday to figure out the opener, if we can sit lower for $300 then we will go to the game but if they stay high then we are just going to watch from home.
