New coaches coming in leaves much up in the air. Isn't Jordan due a $5mil bonus? Is he going to be worth anything next year, or is he done? Opinions?

come on guys, if you can respond to Koren Robinson's perceived 2007 value, Jordan must be worth a comment

At 28 years old and a whopping 648 career carries and 1 year removed from a 1600 yard season, what could a 235 pound back possibly offer a team with a shaky qb, te, and wr situation?

The new coaches will undoubtedly want to can the only positive thing they have on offense because he performed poorly on a high school offense.

So he's high on your sleeper list next year then, comeback player of the year?

He was top 6 in PPG in 05. So IMO he holds good value.Sure there is a risk but there is also first round type numbers as a reward..He is a but low player. I have him and im not selling. I would rather take the risk and maybe end up with nothing,than not getting much for him. JMO

He is a bit of a risk because his situation is a bit unclear at this point. If you already have him, you should probably keep him around. You are not going to get much for him right now.

In a $220 salary cap keeper league I was offered Jordan $1, Randy Moss $20 and Garry Brackett $1 for Willis $49. I could use the cap relief, but I have no idea what Willis or Jordan will be worth next year.

Thanks for the help

A solid starting RB in my keeper league is $35-40 - I grabbed Jordan who is $20 next year - worth the gamble IMO though it may not be with Oak!!!!

Jordan is a great buy-low candidate. I am a firm believer in his talent.

 

[wannabee]

I think how the Raiders handle Fargas (FA) will speak volumes. There are no other RBs on the Raiders. Also, to be a "buy low" Lamont needs to recover from the knee injury

I agree, he is a "but" low player.

With a pending rookie qb starting next year, and a sieve of an offensive line, I dont like the prospects of Jordan at all for at least next year. Until that team improves, Lamont will be stuck in the mud.

 

[Sabertooth]

Obviously a alot is going to happen between now and the draft. But I really think Lamont could be a value pick this coming season.

What was so different, personel-wise from the 2005 team this past year? Brooks? Collins wasn't very good either.

He's an interesting trade target. There's a lot of Peterson to OAK talk on these boards, but IMO, it'll never happen. Fargas and Jordan aren't world beaters, but they're certainly adequate.

What I'm saying is that I don't expect Oakland to burn an early pick on a back, which means it should come down to Fargas and Jordan next season. I like Fargas, but at this point I'd have to give Jordan the advantage in that battle.

I believe Fargas is a FA.
