Raiders | Huff to be released?
Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:33:35 -0800

Jason Jones, of the Sacramento Bee, reports the Oakland Raiders are likely to release FS Michael Huff, something Huff also expects.

I didn't feel like starting a new thread but we aren't sitting that great in cap room compared to alot of other teams. We actually rank 19th in room left, all the other nfc north teams have more money than us. So much for Ted Thompson setting us up so pretty with tons of cap room left.

Here is a list:

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Why are we even talking free agents, with Ted Thompson in the same sentence? as packer98 said Ted Thompson isn't a spender. Look at the last two off seasons. 2 free agents combined in two years! One of them a DB that no one has ever heard of, and who knows where he is now.

To just name a few ...

Ted gets Free Agents, but he doesn't take fliers on 'risky' Free Agents that will break the bank.

I think this year there are some players that are worth selling the cow farm for. I might be mistaken too some of them might not be worth their weight in poop. I'd like a Haynesworth or Peppers for sure.

Also, I don't expect us to make any splash in the LB department.

edit, btw that player you're talking about, Frank Walker, his team played in the AFC Championship game and lost to the Steelers.

Good point Zero all but 2 of the guys listed do a great job of keeping the benches warm lol. Ted does a good job of picking up FA's that arent wanted by anyone else that includes Woodson who prety much said it him self.

Donald Lee, Tramon Williams, Ryan Pickett, Charles Woodson, and Brandon Chillar started multiple games for us and Atari Bigby would have too, but he was injured.

Kregg Lumpkin also was going to play more but he was put on IR. DH, I'd like to hear your explanation.

That's because the Packers have most of their guys signed already. It was just Tausher, Cole and Montgomery that are UFA.

Most of those teams high on that list have lots of unsigned players which they need to resign.

Like the the 2 top teams and another one in the top 5 don't have their starting QB signed to a contract.

Also contract swing amounts from year to year so somebody could earn 5 million one year and the least possible the next... and the Packers have a lot of guys in FA next year and usually the last year of the contact is highest so the Packers are probably paying more this year than other because of that.

I always here about FA's being the big thing that takes teams and puts them over the top.
But i think alot of the times they end up being desperate moves by GM's that end up blowing up in their faces.
I think thats something Ted Thompson is very aware of, and thats why he doesn't just go out and mortgage the farm on alot of FA's. Many of them are players at the ends of their careers that get a big pay day on what they DID, not what they are still able to do.
People like Reggie White are VERY rare.

Shane Lechler should be the guy we go after. Then we can forget about our punting woes.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (2h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (2h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (2h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (2h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (2h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (2h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (2h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (2h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (2h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (2h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

beast (3h) : Packers will get in

beast (3h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (3h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (5h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (6h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (7h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (16h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (16h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.
