Am I ever glad I dumped jordan from my dynasty team...he's done.

So am I.This should be one ugly RBBC.

Still got him unfortunately. Not too good, as Rhodes is going to give him competition for the starting gig. Perhaps even more importantly, the new coaching regime brought in Rhodes, while Jordan/Fargas are holdovers.

ya, it looks like he may have a role similar to last year on a MUCH worse team. Take his #'s from last year and multiply by .8.

Just what a team with a terrible Oline needs...a slow immobile QB.Carr's sack record would be in jeopardy.

I don't really blame Rhodes, he has been pretty underpaid throughout his career. He has a Super Bowl ring, and now he is making some $$$. And who knows how the Raiders will be in year 2. Teams can turn around. Look at the Saints last year, or the Rams during their Super Bowl year. And people told Randy johnson he was a fool for taking the money in Arizona.

This is likely his only chance in his career that he will be able to cash in. He's an average RB. I can't blame him for making the move, $3 mill is more than I thought he'd get.

Smells like chicken
cause he stinks
Re-hijackSeems reminiscent of Tennessee inexplicably bringing in Collins last year -Bledsoe could be a care taker for the first part of the season while Russell/Quinn get a little more prep before being thrown to the wolves.

Chrissy-pooh?Seriously, who's left besides the rookies? Dillon and Brown...

Aren't they too similar to be a true RBBC? Is it a chance Rhodes will be a simple backup to Jordan and only grab 5-10 carries per game. Is he considered to be a better receiver than Jordan?

I'd say his receiving skills are on a par with Jordan's. Jordan is not that outstanding of a receiver out of the backfield. His 05 numbers have misled people into thinking this. He also led the league in the drops that year. That was a statistical aberration and not an indication of exceptional receiving ability on Jordan's part.

Any chance Jordan gets dropped/traded now? I think it's a little early to assume RBBC.
As for Bledsoe to the Raiders, that would be a horrible fit. He can't throw to the running back, can't handle the blitz up the middle, and isn't the best with quick short passes, either. The only thing he has going for him in the Raiders offense is that he can get hit again and again and almost never get hurt, which would admittedly be important for his role there.

That's an odd place to end up. I'm a little surprised the market wasn't better for him.
Who is the best FA left? Brown? Duckett?

Does not matter much who is the RB or if there is a RBBC in Oakland if they do not do something with the line. Gallery has vastly under achieved and the rest of the line never put it together for a whole series let alone a whole game last year.

I doubt it.Rhodes hasn't really shown that he can carry the load.This will be the poor man's 'Thunder and Lightning' in 2007.

Ugh.... traded for Jordan last year when I thought he was coming cheap. 
Maybe he gets cut, then catches on elsewhere.

It prolly would've been until his DUIIMO this is a great time to get jordan...he was considered as one of if not the best backup rb when he was in ny behind curtis martin and when he finally got a chance to be a starter for someone he responded with nearly 1,600 yards of total offense. Now after an injury plagued season and the addition of a rb who's been nothing but the 1-B rb for his entire career jordan is done?

More good news for dynasty 1.01 rookie pick holders.
As for Jordan, he was my 1st round pick in a dynasty draft last season. I've been trying to move him for something decent this off-season riding the very small wave of optimism that came with Art Shell's firing - nothing really happened. I guess I should've tried harder.
The best thing, IMO, is that if you have him, hold him - the chances that he rebounds are worth much more than what you're likely to get in a trade after this signing. If you don't have him, stay away - do not mistake this as a "buy low" opportunity.

That 1600 yd. season was the exception, not the rule.The Oakland RB situation is the yuck. Stay away.

More like the homeless man's 'Thunder and Lightning'

That's an angle many haven't mentioned. While it's not good for Jordan's fantasy value, seems like a bump (at least for now) for Addai.

Wait to see where Dillon winds up before bumping Addai.Signing Dillon seems like it has Polian written all over it...

So Jordan restructures so they can sign Rhodes. Nice

It seemed to me the Rhodes departure was already factored into Addai's perceived value.

I think he's decent, but I can definitely sense his weaknesses being shown when he's not running behind Manning (and behind a poor OL).He and Jordan are probably one-year fill-ins until the Raiders get their RB of the future next year.
