It's easy to draw comparisons between rookie punter Justin Brantly and Shane Lechler, the former Texas A&M and current All-Pro punter for the Raiders who was selected in the fifth round of the 2000 draft. Both Brantly and Lechler were Aggie standouts, and Brantly never averaged less than 43 yards per punt in four years at A&M. His 45.7-yard average as a senior put him among the national...

With this coming week's final OTA, the Raiders 2009 offseason will have concluded. We then have a lull in football activity as we await the start of the 2009 season with the Raiders reporting to the training camp complex in Napa at the end of July. The only news that we can really expect is the July signings of their 2009 draft class. All the draftees are expected to be inked and in camp by the reporting...

Were they handing out free Muscle Milk at Jack London Square and nobody told me? Many Raiders were nowhere to be found when the team convened for an OTA practice this morning. Here's a list of the missing, and I'm probably forgetting someone: CB Nnamdi Asomugha, QBs Jeff Garcia and Andrew Walter, RB Darren McFadden, DEs Derrick Burgess and Jay Richardson, DTs Tommy Kelly, Gerard Warren (Warren watched...

The Raiders doled out contracts worth up to $178 million to four players last offseason in free agency. But having already given the biggest contract ever to cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (worth up to $45.3 million over three years) and the largest deal ever for a punter to Shane Lechler (four years, worth up to $16 million), the Raiders aren't likely to splurge this year. Still, here are five players...

The Oakland Raiders top brass were doing so well. Two Pro Bowlers -- Nnamdi Asomugha and Shane Lechler -- re-signed. Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly was convinced to restructure his deal. Dead weight was dropped from the roster, including: Kwame Harris, Justin Griffith, Ronald Curry, Kalimba Edwards and (maybe…?) Javon Walker. And then they had to go and cut Gibril Wilson. Why? I have no idea.

The deadline to place the franchise tag on players has come and gone and it ended up being a record number . A couple of other players might have gotten tagged too, such as either Oakland's CB Nnamdi Asomugha and P Shane Lechler, except they each got a massive new contract before the deadline. The 14 players as provided by Adam Schefter: S Oshiomogho Atogwe — Rams WR Antonio Bryant — Buccaneers...

What were the odds of the Raiders signing both Nnamdi Asomugha and Shane Lechler without using the franchise tag on either? About the same as the chances of owner Al Davis getting caught by paparazzi in a lusty embrace with Lane Kiffin in a booth at Francesco's restaurant. Even Davis himself admitted recently that it would be hard to retain both his punter and his shut-down corner. Signing each, without...

He paid a premium to do it. A high, high premium. Really, unprecedented premiums, at both... Continue reading...
