Well 2 of them were available this off-season and the best WR who will likely be a first ballot hall of famer just went for.peanuts. I'm tired off hearing about his attitude. The players made it clear they wanted him and they were excited to draft Foster who was a player that no one else was touching because of his issues. I don't buy for a second it was his attitude, this was about money and the York's being cheap.
So either they have some sort of assurance that we will get OBJ or York won't let them make a move that would cost him so much money. Either way we could have a HoF receiver on our roster right now for JG to throw to but instead we we have Bourne, Goodwin and Pettis. Not even a proven #2.
Two of them were available?
Who was the second one?
OBJ. Two were available and now we are down to one. Even though I know you knew that. You wouldn't be here if u didn't. You were just setting up some arguement likely based on wording or the fact that NYG had denied he was available even though he likely is.

If you are Niner fan who has been under York ownership for the most part, its not a surprising turn of events
More like, why out of 32 teams were the Raiders the only ones willing to do this? The same team that traded Khalil Mack, a young edge rusher because he'd cost too much and the one that just traded away their top offensive lineman because he cost too much.
Literally nothing they do makes any sense.

That also includes having the best QB in the game at a unrealistic salary. That has more to do with them being flexible than anything else.

We, on the other hand, and our lack of any risky moves will just wither away, and die by decay. A far more boring way to go down for us fans.......ya no thanks.

Taking shots at what? Remaining in the AFC West basement? The money they gave to Brown could have been given to Mack to keep an elite young pass rusher for years to come. They traded away a 24 year old #1 WR and just dumped their top lineman. The player they did acquire is a 31 year old WR that in no way fits with their rebuilding timeline.

Brown will still cost much less than Mack, but your point is valid. This is a lot of money for a team that wouldn't pay up for one of the best players in football.
