Dan Williams to the Raiders

[Finito]

They've been sleeping for over a decade, I see nothing that indicates their hibernation will end anytime soon.

Then your not really paying attention.

 

[Big Deal]

So we overpay for an offensive lineman who can't pass block and we have no option to take over for Williams.

Seriously? Did you see our running game last year? Oh no, we need another part time NT, what will we ever do.

Who said FA was over?

He is still an upgrade over both OG in pass blocking, even if that isn't his strength. So a HUGE upgrade in run blocking and a slight upgrade in pass blocking seems like a win to me,

Is OP gonna actually list a link or are we supposed to blindly believe him? I haven't seen anything about Williams signing there.

Iupati can pass block for QB's that don't run around like a chicken with his head cut off.


Look at his pre-Crap numbers.


He can pass block.

In the time if took to leave your snarky comment, you could have found this.

Just sayin'

I hope so. I trust BASK. I just think the money is a bit much.

Couldn't be that our running game woes are due to limited talent at RB. Nooooo. That's not an option. And it's funny that the 2 games Cooper started the running game did just fine but I guess I dreamed the near 300 yards rushing in 2 games. As for NT, what do we have right now? Give me the options. Right now, not maybe.

Go fly a kite or something, you obviously are not a happy person.

So now Juke and the entire RB stable doesn't have talent but then they can rush for 300 yds in two games???

BA & Goodwin are idiots because they don't start Cooper over Larson or Faniaka?

First day of FA and we should run around screaming we have no NT we have no NT etc. BASK did re-sign Ta'amu so we do have a NT on the roster.

 

[GatorAZ]

I will never knock a player for taking the most dough.

You realize that visiting doesn't mean signed right? Plenty of FAs visit teams, hear their pitch, go hear another team's pitch and sign with the other team.

Perhaps thread title should have been "Dan Williams to visit the Raiders".

 

[Finito]

It was mentioned by Ian Rapoport that he had been signed by the Raiders.

Until there are official announcements that state a player has signed on the dotted line, everything else is speculation. Everyone had Gore going to Philly and we see how that worked out.

We'll rue letting Dumpster Dan leave.

We'll rue letting Dumpster Dan leave.

Not if we're switching to a base 4-3 defense.

Alameda Ta’amu signed on the 9th.

He was coming off a knee injury last year and was having a hard time coming back.

I have no issues with Ta'amu playing the position in 2015.

Dan Campbell is the modern day version of Calvin Pace, IMO.

 

[Chopper0080]

Good for him. I'm glad he got a good contract.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Dan played well last season in his 37% snaps he took. Although he was playing in a contract year the Cards front office knows he just a part time player and after getting paid will possibly return to his weight struggles. The Cards did the right thing letting dumpster go.

 

[Stout]

Not if we're switching to a base 4-3 defense.

IF that's the case, you'd be right. We aren't, thus far, so this is a definite loss.

 

[iRobot]

Dan got PAID. Over 6M+ a year and I believe 16M Gtd.
