[BullheadCardFan]

Did Oakland get a deal or does this say something about Josh and Williams ... ???

Interesting.

It says they will be Raiders

And that the Lions were smart enough to get something for two players who wanted out instead of just cutting them, good for the Lions.

Was it for OUR fourth round pick?

The irony would be outstanding.

It probably was.

 

[wierwolf]

Is there a link? Or did I just miss the announcement? That is probably going to be the 4th they trade to Seattle for Jackson... LOL

They are trying to live up to the Mantra of the Raiders.

"Just Win Baby!"

When that mantra works you usually don't have the number one pick in the draft.

I think the Raiders are actually having a great draft. Should be really competitive if can put it all together

With that WR corps, that'll be a real challenge.

Man, how bad do you have to be to 1 of 2 guys traded for a single 4th round pick? McCown's worth 1/2 a fourth round pick!

And he'll be replacing Andrew Walter. Does that mean Walter is worth 1/4 of a 4th rounder?

So Jamarcus, how is the Raider offensive line these days?

 

[vinnymac]

I have a feeling that Russell is going to be starting from day one. The Raiders, imo, just had the best 2 days in the offseason. They had an excellent draft( I hope they cut Micheal Bush) and a couple of solid free agent signings.

How good is Russell anyway? I don't know much about him but would think that he was quite a reach with the #1 overall considering we got Leinart at #10. But then in this year's draft #1 would = #15 last year I would guess.

What's sad is you could actually debate which one is the tougher receiver.

Josh might be faster.

Why would they cut Bush, it makes no sense. In fact, they could probably hide him on their roster for 2 or 3 years making peanuts.

Detroit faces cap issues with this trade ...

When the Detroit Lions moved Josh McCown and Mike Williams to the Raiders for a fourth-round pick, they were left with some salary cap management issues to clean up. McCown was scheduled to make $2 million in salary, so that amount goes as a credit to the Lions books. Mike Williams on the other hand was scheduled to make just $600,000 -- which is great for the Raiders and a modest credit to the Lions' cap. The problem is Williams' rookie signing bonus, which still had $4.14 million to be charged to the salary cap and must be subtracted from the cap. So the net of moving the two players is a $1.54 million salary cap charge to Detroit. It hurts when top draft choices don't work out.

I believe it was the 4th round pick we traded to the Raiders that they used for the trade.

I makes me sick when I have to hear about Josh McCown on sports radio, and how they think he can start in the NFL.

I could read a book in the dark faster than Josh reads defenses.

My brother in law and Mariucci both thought McNown )) was good.

From what i seen him play this past year, he is pretty good. Plus, he was lights out in his bowl game. He is being compared to John Elway.
