The Raiders Defensive tackle had been starting to garner interest in the free agent market. I had speculated that the Hawks may look at him considering he was 27 and coming off an injury. He was expected to be a less expensive option. So much for that.
The Raiders locked him up at 50.5 million with 18.125 guaranteed. He is now the highest paid DT in the league. Maybe the Hawks ought hold that 1st rounder after all, especially if they want a DT who can contribute. There is some crazy jack being thrown around right now... just wait until 9pm tonight, stay tuned.
The Raiders FO are Morons! Theyve done some dumb stuff over the years ($$ to many RB's who never worked out etc) but this one takes the cake. They are duking it out with the Dolphins and Skins for worst FO over the last 10 years...

Too bad free agency doesn't start on April Fools day. The best news out of the 'Hawks this week will be no news unless it concerns signing our own free agents.
ReplyDeleteThe fools gold will be flying and the big name players who cash in will rarely live up to their paychecks.
Tim take a pass on Crumples.
