Bernard Berrian has signed with the Minnesota Vikings. They didn't let him leave without being on their team... his next scheduled visit was Oakland.

:banghead:

Also of note today:

Devry Henderson (WR) stays with the Saints
Drayton Florence (CB) bolts SD to go to Jacksonville
Bills acquire Marcus Stroud (DT) for a 3rd rounder - unconfirmed (another guy we should have tried for)
Kawika Mitchell (LB) also to the Bills
Kris Jenkins (NT) to the Jets for a 3rd and 5th round pick
Josh Brown (K) to the Rams
Jason Ferguson (DT) acquired by Dolphins
Jeff Faine (C) signs with Tampa
Jeff Vilma (MLB) acquired by Saints

Some good releases today though:

Javon Walker, WR
Barry Sims, OT :rofl:

Ty Law, CB

Oh baby... we signed Walker today, and although we overpaid, its a great sign that someone in the FO has some common sense. I will treasure putting that link under the "NEW ADDITIONS" label :nod:

Wait. Where the **** did we get all of this money from? :rofl:

Seriously, we've dished out WELL over 100 mil already this season. It's hilarious.

We're improving atleast. When healthy, Walker can be a beast. He'll be a fine target for JaMarcus this upcoming season.

Reggae, do you know something that I don't about Harris? Because from what I've seen, he sucks lol.

Over 5 mil a year? =/

Post #7 » by **FNQ** » Thu Mar 6, 2008 9:01 pm

I've heard he's pretty bad, but the things he's weak at, Cable makes passable...

I dont expect much, but I only meant that hes staying in the Bay Area, from SF to OAK...

Bay_Areas_Finest · Post #8 » by **Bay_Areas_Finest** » Thu Mar 6, 2008 11:46 pm

Well, what I meant was that you seem to have "inside knowledge" at times, I was curious as to if you had a "sixth sense" about why we were overpaying a crappy player, but hey, we're the Raiders.

Post #9 » by **FNQ** » Fri Mar 7, 2008 3:27 am

Oh.. nah, we just have some Raiders who stop by my wife's work and she's as big a Raider fan as I am.. she asks them about some pretty indepth stuff and loves telling me about it. That's as inside as I get with the Raiders

Also have a guy who works for them who I've known most of my life, he seems to know things earlier than the media

Adding on two things, and actually creating a thread about one:

The Raiders resigned Cornell Green and restructured the deal of Dominic Rhodes (!!!!).

Per Wiretap -

The Raiders have added another wide receiver, agreeing to terms Wednesday on a $2M, one-year deal with free-agent Drew Carter, as reported by the Associated Press.

The deal with Carter follows the one given last week to former Pro Bowl receiver Javon Walker as Oakland tries to surround JaMarcus Russell with more big-play options.
