Boring...

Boring...

Replaces R.Stone. Good value, but yes. Boring. Maybe Al has finally learned to stop paying big $ for overvalued vets in their twilights. Let's see if he can still get lackluster performance from his 1st rounders .

Fonti wasn't a prior Super Bowl MVP, so, he doesn't qualify for the exorbitant overspending Al Davis plan.

 

[Despyzer]

Fonoti is a mess. This was a bad signing at any price.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Does "FA" stand for Fat ###?

 

[kaso]

Well at least there is one addition.

 

[UnknownCoach]

If they spend too much, you'll see an unproven QB starting. So the lack of signings is currently a good thing.

Look like they just signed McCown.

This report is wrong. They in fact signed him for 400,000 donuts.

Actually he asked to be paid his roster bonus in Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers.

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

Hey, at least they signed SOMEBODY!

The Bears have TONS more cap space, and they're in hibernation still.

1st I've seen listing McCown to Oakland.

[ExaltedOne]

No, they haven't.

 

[Warpig]

Fonoti is a mess. This was a bad signing at any price.

The guy is huge! A huge turnstyle! Just a big, fat tub of lard. They should convert him to a D-lineman and atleast have him clog up the middle since he seems to be good at that.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports the Raiders briefly considered signing former Vikings OG Toniu Fonoti, who visited the team Tuesday. Fonoti, the Chargers' second-round pick in 2002, failed his physical. Fonoti, whose weight has approached 400 pounds, was traded to Minnesota last season but reported at 385 pounds and was recovering from a broken hand. He finished the season on injured reserve because of a groin injury.

He may have lost weight due to the broken hand - it was harder to eat.
