Raiders financial picture is much improved

I would reveal my true identity, but for political reasons I cannot. But do not take me lightly, I am a part of Raider Nation. Artwork courtesy of Raider X Many of the reports concerning the Raiders in the past few offseasons have talked of them being a cash strapped team. via MVN - Recent Articles

we should definetly use some of this cap money on Albert Haynesworth and either bernard berrian or larry fitzgerald!

[Oak12]

Fitzgerald is a free agent?

[Andrew]

Thats what i've heard from people on here, but i'm not positive! Does anyone else know if fitgerald is a free agent?

I don't think he's a free agent, but I have heard he's on the trading block.

What good wide receivers are free agents?

[Raidermike]

He is not a free agent. The cardinals will need to pay him like 16 million and that is why people think he is on the trading block. They could always try to restructure his contract.

They also say Roy Williams might be on the trading block for Detroit. I would love to pick him up.

I was really hoping the raiders would've drafted him initially. I played against him in high school and he ruled the gridiron. He would definatly be a good asset for us now.

Roy Williams would be a great pickup! But how much would we have to give up for him?

Has anyone heard any buzz as to what Raiders are looking at? I know Al likes to keep this stuff quiet. But has anyone heard where Kiffin thinks the biggest need is?

Kiffin thinks the biggest need is being able to stop the run and that all starts with the front 4. Derrick Burgess and Tommy Kelly are our only proven DLinemen and Kelly is a free agent. The only offseason news I've really heard was the deal about whether or not Rob Ryan would be back as the defensive coordinator.

Also I heard that Davis is interested in getting Bernard Berrian from Chicago!

Berrian would be a pretty good addition. If we get a good WR from FA or trade, then we should be able to address our DL issues in the draft. It seems that there is a good crop of defensive linemen this year.
