Welcome to carolina!

espn's adam schefter reports the raiders are expected to release rb justin fargas and dt gerard warren before their roster bonuses are due "in the coming days."

this comes as a surprise, considering fargas' standing with coach tom cable. Then again, all the raiders' moves of late have been head-scratchers. The 30-year-old fargas has been a replacement-level back the past two seasons, so the raiders will be better off without him. Pending further backfield moves, fargas' release will boost the fantasy stock of darren mcfadden and michael bush. Mar. 4 - 10:44 am et

Sorry but no. G warren is getting old and is not worth taking a risk on. We got to many young guys on our Dline right now that needs to have a chance to fight for a postion. Adding warren will make things more confusing then they are now. No thanks.

did we pick up a struggling DE off Oakland's line a few years ago?

tyler brayton has worked out pretty well for us...

Brayton was WAY different than Warren. Brayton was struggling because the Raiders had moved him to DE, DT, OLB, then back to a hybrid DE/DT. He was just never really given a chance to play a single position for more than one year.

:yikes: Yea but brayton is younger then Warren. Warren is like in his 30s now. He is to old now. Plus like I said we have to many other guys on the Dline that deserves a chance at a spot on the team. So no TY.:smilielol5:

Good Lord.

...?

fox and hurney picked up brayton off of Oakland's defensive line before the beginning of the 2008 season... he was a former first round pick from the 2003 season, and widely considered a bust, with his season record in sacks at 2.5

in his first year with us he notched 4.5 sacks and a bunch of tackles and he's been effective as a starter ever since.

i don't see how the comparison isn't noteworthy.

Because Warren has never shown flashes and has been passed around like the town pony while Brayton was only with one team ever. Brayton was also significantly younger and coming off his first contract.

Failure at one team could be a problem of system/coaching. When you've failed at three different teams, there's not much hope for the light suddenly coming on.

      I think it will be a transition year will be a playoff team (more grindy and young blood) but not a top contender... but in 25-26 back to being a contender IMO Nickishin will be ready to do day 1 IMO.... and if we can get some of these young guys the experience/development FUS/Blake/Nadeu/Morrow

      in itself i didn't/don't have an issue with this. And our main point has always been that we didn't want to be one of the go for it all teams at the deadline because we have a window that has term with Slavin/Aho/Svech/Jarvy.  however. keeping martinook above market value and not combining the youth influx with things like changing things at goalie and or signing a big name as a guentz replacement just feels like so far we're kind of sitting this out, and i really dont like the idea of taking a large step backwards from pre deadline roster last year. i understand we've given this a run with the same guys and it hasn't worked and changing some things there. but we also know exactly what our glaring issues are. so to not get better at those while also getting worse/losing big time names in other areas is pretty disheartening thus far. Hope there's more to come.

      It looks like next year is going to be the year that a lot of young guys get a chance.
