Not excited about this one either.
I think that sums up "If he works great, if he doesnt we cut him.".

Not some signing that will continue to doom us. Now the next thing we here will be 15 million per & fml.

I guess im the only one that likes the signing. Pete Carrol can supposedly get the most out of players with natural ability. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery and some familiar faces.

Vet min and a backup SS. It’s a low risk high reward move. Zero complaints and if he makes the team I doubt he adds much but Graham has been successful with some classic SS play with this defense and I trust Carroll,

Na, I like it too. If Carrol was on board with a guy he’s coached before, then so am I.

Seems we got a problem in Raider Nation. Mainly that we don’t have enough new problems for folk to vent at. Bungled moronic football decisions was what this organization excelled at for 30ish years. Now fellas got a serious issue with backed-up piss’n’vinegar. Here’s hoping they’ll be alright.

I’m not drinkin’ Kool-Aid yet, but haven’t seen anything worth gettin’ ruffled tail feathers about either. Good offseason.

One year deal? I don't mind this at all. I've always been of the mind that you can't have enough safeties. I imagine Pola-Mao will get most of the snaps but depth is never a bad thing.

If he makes the team he'll be viable depth at worst, and that's good.

It's not a team-changing signing, but he's cheap and expendable.

Nothing wrong with bringing in experience to the rotation. He hasn’t been able to stay healthy for a few years now but he may have something left in the tank if healthy.

Seattle had something like 400 moves before their two super bowls. I’m not worried about a guy who might not even make the team (I think he does) let alone be here next year.

Lol he couldn't cover as a safety so he damn sure won't be able to as a LB

How did Adams do in Seattle when Pete was there? Hint - it wasn't good
