rather just that the capologist rumors are false (like most Raider rumors) as the Raiders already have great personnel in place to deal with that. THat is the only point I was trying to make, but since you fell the need to spit venom and try and start something, I will respond to your claim that the Raiders are in Cap trouble.

The Raiders are in a very common position around the NFL as many teams are up against the Cap ceiling, which is why the cap increases yearly. With a few key cuts (that everyone has seen coming for months) like Lamont Jordan (always injured), as well as contract restructurings, like J Moneys contract renegotiation, that have yet to be taken into account, the Raiders are in great shape to sign their draft picks and get under the Cap, which will increase again next year. Also, there may not even be a Cap in 2010, and if you look at the big contracts that the Raiders have given out, most of the money is back loaded (IE Javon Walker, and Kelly) so your argument really has no basis in terms of the impending Cap realities.

Also, the contracts may be risky, at least in the case of Kelly and Javon (due to their knee troubles), but no judgment can be made about those contracts until the players perform (or not) on the field.

Now, if you choose to continue this conversation, by all means go ahead, but when I respond with fact and reason, don’t go whining to your superiors about a troll on the site, cause your continuing the conversation just as much as me.
