After Al Davis cut DeAngelo Hall last week, the second major off-season acquisition departs. This time due to injury, Javon Walker announced he is done for the season with a left ankle injury. Well I’m certainly glad that $13 million got us eight games, 15 catches, and 196 yards. Just a bit over $800,000 per NFL grab. You know, this may be a leap, but I’m beginning to suspect that Al Davis consults Bear Stearns, AIG, and Fannie Mae on his spare time.

Javon Walker in the off-season did offer to opt out of his contract and return any bonus money to the organization. Excellent news as long as we get the flux capacitor to work in our time machine.

Raider Depression Looms… http://www.oakland-raider.com/raiders-giving-up-raider-depression-looms/ http://www.oakland-raider.com/raiders-giving-up-raider-depression-looms/#comments Sun, 09 Nov 2008 22:11:52 +0000 admin http://www.oakland-raider.com/?p=13 After Al Davis cut DeAngelo Hall this week, any suspicions that Al Davis has lost it vanished. The Raiders need a real general manager that can get the Raiders back on track. 

Anyway, as we take a step backwards in the rebuilding process, Adam Schefter over at the NFL Network reports many Raiders deciding to jump ship. Although he didn’t name who, a prominent player on the Raider team went as far as to considered quitting and taking a leave of absence. Off-season acquisition Javon Walker previously offered to return his bonus money over the summer to leave Oakland and Gibril Wilson now looks for an opportunity to leave town as well.

Furthermore as the Raiders plan on slapping the franchise tab on all-pro and THE best corner in the league, Nnamdi Asomugha, if things don’t change, the heart of the Raider secondary may flee as well. Something better change by the end of the season or the Raiders will fall from the recent 5-year Raider Recession to a decade long Raider Depression from returning to any form of greatness.
