jranieli Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3300199 These contracts are getting ridiculous. The NFL will eventually have to raise the cap even higher because high contracts are here to stay. How do the Raiders afford this and still get under the cap? I understand Reese does not want to spend money on these guys but eventually he will have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well if the cap gets thrown out the window like it's pointing too, expect players to get contracts like 10 years, 150million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The raiders are signing players left and right and won't have enough to sign anyone else or keep their core players. They're the Redskins of the West Coast.

Virginia Giant Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well, he got what he wanted, I didn't think he'd get 10 mill a year, Oakland would be the only one to pay it./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Nas, lets say a player like the Tigers Woods of football hits the market. This is hypothetical situation. He becomes the premier player at his position in the league and a role model to every kid. The Giants have some good running backs, but adding this guy would make a world of difference. He states the Giants are a team he would be interested to go too and comes in for a visit and contract negotiations. He wants a ton of money but he wont get it from the Giants even if he adds to a dynasty for 5 years to come. Wouldn't a player of his talent trump the cost it would take to sign him? I mean, I would do whatever it takes to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hall is going to strap our cap to the point where we can't sign quality players, then we will suck for years to come. There's no way on earth a CB is worth 10M a year.

Taylorized56 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Al Davis keeps driving up the price for players. Who the fuck is Tommy Kelly and why is he the highest paid tackle in NFL history? They'll have one of if not the best secondaries in the NFL but they didn't didn't address their biggest need at d-line. They were horrible at stopping the run and couldn't get to the qb.
