Jacoby's still on the team, Ryans wasn't cut. Soloman never reported this, and we've all known both of them had a decent chance of getting shown the door.

Not sure why you feel the need to state the obvious instead of trying to connect the dots.

But I guess I'll just lay it out.

Maybe the op did have some kind of information about the team wanting to get rid of them/their contracts.

But instead of a cut it came in the form of a trade.

And I disagree that most people knew there was a decent chance demeco would be gone. I think vet, very fee actually thought he wouldn't be on the team next season.

I hope you're correct and the OP had some solid info. That means Jacoby will be outta here soon, right?

I'm hoping they trade Jacoby, even it's for just a swap of 7ths and a bag of Skittles. That would be awesome.

That alone would be worth it.

hell, nobody would do that...I don't think anyone would take on his salary since he is a kick returner that has bad judgement and isn't a viable wr by season 4

We so used to be able to count on the Raiders to love speed and underachieving.

I said a dozen times since the season ended and we began looking at FA and the cap situation that I thought Ryans would be restructured because his cap number was just too great for the amount of time he spent on the field. Many thought I was crazy for suggesting even that.


I sure didnt see him being cut or traded tho .... no way , no how.


As for Jacoby , I know most of us (and some of the staff) would love to run him out of town.They do need another WR but if they cut Jones , they need two more. His staying on the roster may give us a clue as to their thinking come draft time.

At WR they have two guy's at the top of the depth chart that they like in Walter and #80. After that , they are pretty thin. I do know they like some of the guys who spent time on the PS and IR last season in LeStar Jean and Mael. One or both of those players will probably make the final roster out of camp this coming season.
They are thin at LB. Good at the top but thin. The OL is missing pieces.

Drafting a WR early may not be a priority as much as we would like it to be. Unless someone they really like falls into their lap.

I have a feeling that they may not take a WR prior to the 3rd in this draft ....

Maybe they plan to put JJ on the practice squad? Just for the embarrassment?

The more big pieces getting knocked over with no mention of cutting JJ....the more I think he's still got a place on the team.

Or he'll get cut in camp after every WR outperforms him.

That's what I am expecting.

teams can't just put anyone on the practice squad. there are certain rules about tenure/games active etc. that determine whether a player can or cannot be put on the PS.
