Should the Raiders turn their focus to AP now that Lynch is likely to stay in Seattle?

[DJ]

Yes.

Release MJD and let McFadden walk in the offseason and sign Adrian Peterson to a 1 or 2 year deal.

He's looking to reclaim his status in the NFL as a starting caliber RB and they can rotate Latavius Murray with him to keep them both fresh.

Do it, Reggie!!!!

AP would be good.. Bunch of good Vet RBs are starting to get cut as well.. As most teams want to go young at RB now days..

I would be good with keeping DMAC as well.. I would like to see what he can do in a No Huddle Up Tempo O!!
DMAC is a big dude, and still has speed, with good hands.. DMAC, Gurley/Gordon, Murray!! Would be sweet IMO..

I think that would be a great option...as time goes on it seems there are more downsides to signing Lynch than upsides. If Lynch had his head on straight and the back wasn't an issue, it would be a no brainer. But with the Raiders trying to be relevant again, the last thing they need in the locker room is a head case like Lynch. They have a chance to be much, much better again this year if they make some smart moves free agent wise and can pick up a WR like Cooper or White in the draft.

There have been reports that the Raiders are interested in signing Randall Cobb if he becomes a free agent.

i just dont see this happening. Ap will want to go to a team with a chance to win the superbowl.......

That's the rumor.. The Raiders will go hard after him.. 9 to 10M A YEAR is what the guy will cost..

In truth i just don't want the guy on the Raiders.. At some point you just have to say nah.. Look for the Pats to sneak into the AP derby..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

What about DeMarco Murray?? Word has it the Cowboys are letting him walk?? Ya i know, he wants to go to a SB team right?? Reggie Bush?? Nope SB team!! Well we might as well draft Gurley and have the best RB combo in the league.. Well, FA just around the corner and the Raiders are in the MIX for alot of these guys!! Hopefully we can snag a few of them.. Some of these players will get the tag, some resign with their teams.. But if any hit the open market, the Raiders are in the MIX..

why do you guys insist on taking rb's who had 4000000 carries the year before and other discard and thinking they will be awesome

I don't dude.. I want Gurley or Gordon, Yeldon, etc.. I just throw that out there for some talk.. I want ROOKIE..

 

[SteelersPride]

yeldon is a bust IMHO, you will be able to get him later rounds

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

SteelerFan, if i could do it my way.. DMAC would be my Vet.. Murray and Gurley would be my young guys..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

yeldon is a bust IMHO, you will be able to get him later rounds

Ya im not taking Yeldon with our 2.. Maybe 3rd or lower.. I think he could be real good..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

I really think Yeldon will be real good.. Power back with speed.. And you could get him in the lower rounds.. Shoot this is the deepest RB class i have ever seen.. Just pick the style of RB you want, and this draft has it..

 

[SteelersPride]

4.61 40 doesnt scream "speed"

 

[GNG]

I want Gurley or Gordon, Yeldon, etc.

Gordon is the best RB of those three.

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

4.61 40 doesnt scream "speed"

That's fast enough with the power and moves he has.. I think he will be one of the better rookie RBs in this class.. I do.. Pro Ready, just give him the rock..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Gordon is the best RB of those three.

You could be right.. He looks like a bigger Jamaal Charles.. Gurley is right there though..

OT.. I was checking out the hottest News Women thread.. Dang there's some Babe's in that thread!!
