Wow, I didn't know the Raiders had some cap room

[Tió Nook Nook]

I thought it was all doom and gloom for this season regarding the cap, but apparently the raiders have 8.2 million in cap room for this season.
Hope this doesn't mean it's all gonna get wasted on some dumb FA move.

cmon man every year its doom and gloom for us but good ol Al always find ways!!!

[The Man]

I am always intrigued how Al finds a way. I guess we do alot of restructuring without advertising it to the media, which is the Raider way and the best way.

I wish Al could find a way to win some @!#$%^&!!!@ games! :csa:

KC has a lot of cap room. I can see them being a playoff team in 2 seasons. Pioli inherited a nice situation.

I hope we make a run at Leroy Hill with that extra cap space...

is hill a SSLB, or WLB?

^^ Hill played both positions for SEA. I'm sure Marshall would love to have at least carry over player from his squad to help anchor the d. I just think he wants to cash out right now though. HE is pretty young still and prob has his best years ahead of him however.

is hill a SSLB, or WLB?Who is Hill? Mr. Hill? lol Leroy Hill of the seahwaks? Or a udfa? :huh:

Leroy Hill would be an awesome pickup

Julian Peterson mostly played will when he was there so i think Hill was at sam.

True, but he played at Will as well. But he is a natural Sam for sure...Shit he could be a Frank or a Stanley as long as the mother fucker can play FOOTBALL.

hill would be a nice pickup, but would rather not break the bank for him. hopefully the draft / udfa talent could provide some starters / depth while keepin some dough

Nah thats the thing... And thats why he wont be a Raider.. he is definitely going to the highest bidder.

He is a nice player but not worth anywhere remotely close to 8 mil per... Not even 6..

If we can get him for 5.5 mil per year, Im all for it.

The Marshall connection could work in our favor. You never know with Al...

I say if you have ot spend it cause you aint going to the afterlife with it. So if Hill is the only FA we can give it too then so be it. If we find another FA or two to give it too so be it. Maybe we use it to give some of our young guys raises then so be it but USE IT DONE LET IT SIT THERE, MAKE THIS TEAM BETTER WITH IT!!!
