Free Agency thread for Raiders and league-wide

[RunOverByHubbard]

Free agency opens March 11. CBS Sports has their top 50 ranking. No Raiders on the list. I am surprised at a couple rated high - Aaron Rodgers and Daniel Jones. Lots of wide receivers

We should be good against the run, but yeah, not gonna be a lot of pass rush from the interior unless it’s an LB/CB blitzing through a gap. Should be excellent containment though.

If there’s any pocket collapse it will come from the edges. Maxx and Crawford, maybe Koonce if he’s back to playing well, Paye not so much. Hopefully we can apply enough pressure to give our new ball-hawking secondary some opportunities for turnovers.

Pass rush from the interior will come from Stone out of Oklahoma next year, where we’ll also move up in the 2nd/late 1st for the WR folk are clambering for in Charlie Becker. (Assuming we win too many games to grab Smith.)

nakobe dean and quay walker time...

I would have liked Reader, but at 31 he is more of a win now player. We have a ton of guys we need to see what we have in them.\

NEVER understood people liking Richardson. He always looked like a terrible QB to me. I wouldn't even sign him to a practice squad unless it would be to make a LB or TE out of him.

people got caught up in his running ability and size...but that dude is injury prone which costed him his first 3 yrs, cant get better while on the sidelines

id take a shot for cheap

Isn't Taylen Green basically the 2026 version of Richardson?

This is the guy who took himself out of a game because he was tired. Yeah I'm not touching that level of lazy

Jets OC Frank Reich said Geno Smith is the “perfect fit” for his offense.

Reich bravely claimed, “I think his best football’s ahead of him.” Sure. Smith is coming off a year in which he ranked 29th in EPA per play, trailing only Cam Ward. He only appeared in 15 games and still led the NFL in sacks (55) and interceptions (17). A change in scenery was certainly in order for Geno, though he may be better off as a backup at this point in his career. With the Jets making an offer to Russell Wilson this week, it’s clear they aren’t satisfied with the state of their quarterback room. Geno can be penciled in as the Week 1 starter, but it’s unlikely he keeps that job through the end of the season.

Imagine saying this with a straight face.

No one even likes Russell Wilson the person, im surprised TV execs would even want him.

[LayneStaley]

Any room for Kenny Moore if the price is right? Always liked him.
