Terrell Owens To The Oakland Raiders For 2009?

March 5th, 2009 3 comments

As news of the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones’ recent separation with Terrell Owens, Al Davis must be salivating right now. With a young Raiders team far from turning the corner, no one in the league needs T.O. more than the Raiders. 

While no player or coach wants to go to Oakland and where no team wants near T.O., Davis and Owens are meant for one another. Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis remain the likely contenders to enlist Owens’ services, the Raiders and Al Davis are the clear front runners to acquire the flamboyant receiver. 

In a quantifiable sense of Owens likelihood to join the Raiders, there’s no better authority on the matter than Vegas. According to sports-odds.com, Owens is favored to join the Raider are -200. A clear favorite, if you believe Owens will join the Raiders and want to put your money where your mouth is, you’d have to bet $200 to win $100.

Regardless what plague Owens will bring to Oakland, I remain skeptical of any tangible benefit Owens will bring to the field if he fails to get along with Jamarcus. Remember Randy Moss? A top-5 wide receiver in every season of his career EXCEPT for his time in Oakland. Owens will likely fall into a similar trend as soon as his first check cashes.

Welcome Owens or not, take his likely arrival in Oakland with a grain of salt.

Shane Lechler Becomes Highest Paid NFL Punter Ever; Resigns With Raiders

February 19th, 2009 No comments

The Raiders have yet to release the financial details of All-Pro punter Shane Lechler’s contract, but rumors are that the four-year contract will make Lechler the highest paid punter in NFL history.

Lechler currently holds the highest yards per punt average in NFL history at 46.8 yards per punt. Especially with the offense still in search of rhythm, Lechler’s powerful leg will be needed to keep the Raiders in games until Jamarcus develops into what we hope he can become.

With Lechler locked up, Al Davis and the Raiders aim to re-sign Pro-Bowl corner back Asomugha.
