    Raiders release Curtis Lofton, who was atrocious last season.

    Apparently Lofton failed a physical.

    I like Boldin too. He'd make a great go-to for Carr on those intermediate routes but we already have Crabtree and Seth Roberts [?].

    Lofton was a disappointment last season amidst expectations. Tight ends made names for themselves when he was out on coverage. Explains Irvin and the pursuit of Henderson.

    ^Streater to the Chiefs... At least we snagged some corner off theirs. Even.

    Webb gone...so Feliciano can now start.

    Streater on a 1 year deal at up to $4.85m or so. Don't know how much is guaranteed, but he hasn't done anything the past two seasons, so it's hard to be bothered by this.

    Agree... We have two legit starters and a gamer in Roberts at the slot. I would like to see Holmes retained.

    I think we pick up a WR late in the draft, too.

    From one of my favorite sports writers Peter King:

    7a.     It’s enjoyable seeing… what’s going on in Oakland. As I wrote earlier this year, Reggie McKenzie just needed a couple years to restock the cupboard. Bruce Irvin, Sean Smith and Kelechi Osemele are all quality additions. The Raiders will be a popular sleeper pick to make the playoffs, and with good reason.

    Star Wars reference... The rebuild of the Raiders is like:

    Cravens would be a steal if available...

    - Raiders making a play for Arizona S Tony Jefferson.
    - Taylor Mays suspended four games...
    - Andre Holmes could be back.

    Yeah, it sounds like Holmes will be back. With Cooper, Crabtree, Roberts, and Holmes, we're in good shape 1-4 at WR.

    Daren Bates - a pretty impressive special teams player. He was captain of the Rams' unit last year.
    [​IMG]
    First, the bad: 11 special teams penalties over the last two years - most in the NFL.

    Now, the good:
    He was the captain of the Rams' unit, as mentioned.

    He led the league in special teams tackles two seasons ago.

    He scored a TD on a fumble recovery in 2014.

    CRAZY blocked FG.

    Tony Jefferson has been a part time starter, with 17 starts over three seasons. He has a three-year average of 2.7 AV. With 2 INTs, 5 passes defended, and 3 FF last season, he had arguably his best season. He added 2 sacks and 55 solo tackles.

    He's listed as a below average Safety on PFF. Still, he rated out at 81.3 on the Free Agency Tracker, putting him just above Woodson's 79.0 and WAY above Taylor Mays's 64.6, Larry Asante (61), and Nate Allen (41).

    Andre Holmes is back with Oakland. He'll make $1M guaranteed, and he'll make up to $3M with incentives. I think it's a good deal, as he's a low risk, high reward player.

    In the past three seasons, he has averaged 29 receptions, 400 yards, and 3 TDs. Even last season, with only 14 receptions, he reached the endzone four times.
