Rumor: Mike Goodson Traded To The Raiders?

[Ja Rhule]

Campbell might of been on a chopping block just like Goodson. So we traded scrap for scrap.

[Wesmesss]

Not cool! Looking at his overall career as Panther, he was neither unproductive or overrated. In fact, he was probably marginally productive because he was undervalued (or, at the very least, logically sitting behind Williams and Stewart). His only real negative---which is his biggest question mark---is fumbling. He had a bad stint which seemed magnified because they came in a relatively short period, but they were hopefully out of character.

Why can't you just wish him the best? Your bid at cleverness doesn't quite hit the mark.

I was referring to the players in raiders past (fast, unproductive, and overrated) and to what Goodson will probably become with them (fast and unproductive). There is no evidence in his tenure with us that he will be anything but that. And he really didn't show that he will be unproductive in the future either. But rather, and get this, it's just my guess!

He's coming to a better situation here. Kalil and Gross can help mentor and push him. Protecting Cam and blocking for Double Trouble has to be exciting for the kid. This guy should be our project this year. The one we try to get to put it all together in a hurry just like we did with Cam.

We wouldn't have traded for Campbell if we didn't think we could get something out of him. Otherwise we would have just taken the 6th rounder and bid Goodson ado.

Joe Person just tweeted the news. I think my Mom found out the news before he did, and she doesn't even watch sports.

The fact that you have to resort to pulling college videos of him to find a highlight reel kind of speaks for itself though doesn't it?

He's only 23. He's not an old man.

What does this say about Otah?

Otah poos all over Bruce. If Otah can get on the field....there isn't anyone we could bring in better. But who knows if he can stay on the field or even get on it for a game.

[Jangler]

Must be something. I'm sure he will be gone if he doesn't change, and you never know it might just be the Raiders...

[Toker Smurf]

Listen up you primitive screwheads, this......is my BOOMSTICK!

[megadeth078]

Bruce has 14 games played in the NFL. Damn, you guys are harsh.

Hurney's effort to improve without having to give up anything should be commended at least.

Campbell was likely a lineman the Panthers had their eye on in the draft, they just didn't draft him in time.

remember the Panthers FO is one of the best in the league at scouting O-linemen.

If they think they can fix him, I trust them.

Not sure I could get excited about playing for the Raiders. Could be he just needs people around him to show him how to be a pro. As for expectations, I have the same for him as I had for Goodson...zero.

[Ivan The Awesome]

So does this mean we will be changing the 'Shotgun' formation to the 'Boomstick' formation?

I like the trade. Those that say he's lazy, well maybe a change of scenery and the incentive of playing for a team that is on the rise will light a fire under him. Either that or Rivera will.

[MadHatter]

Zero risk to this move.

We were cutting Goodson...and were able to take a flyer on an OLineman with great measurables but an underachiever.

If he does not make it out of camp....no biggie.

I remember several mock drafts had the Raiders taking Bruce Campbell in the top 10 a couple years ago.. he is a huge guy and very athletic. Otah insurance for sure. And could compete at OG if Otah is healthy again.
