3.2K1Time is now for Raiders to spend big on free agents
The term stopgap often carries a negative connotation with it, but it should be the Raiders’ theme to free agency, which begins next week. Only the Jaguars (about $80M, according to Over The Cap) have more cap space than the Raiders (over $74M). Luckily for Oakland, this time they won’t also find themselves among the […]

4.1K4Raiders in a good spot heading into free agency
When a team heads into free agency, there are two areas of focus: re-signing your own players and adding new ones. With a projected cap space total of almost $68 million, second only to the Jaguars, the Raiders should have an easy time adding players … as long as the ongoing uncertainty over where they’ll […]

4.0K12Raiders have three days to make decision on Nate Allen
If the Oakland Raiders decide that they want to part ways with Nate Allen and save some money on a guy who might not have been worth it in the first place, they will have to make that decision soon. Allen’s contract states that if he is on the roster three days following the Super […]

4.6K8Super Bowl 50 statue vandalism getting more intense in San Francisco
There hasn’t been much Super Bowl buzz in San Francisco (yet), but I’m guessing buzzed San Franciscans could’ve been responsible for at least some of the creative vandalism we’re seeing with the Super Bowl 50 statues. And with each day, the level of defacement gets raised a little bit. 1. “SUP BRO” Locals generally don’t […]

2.6K19NFL keeps Raiders fans in purgatory
I was hoping against hope that the next piece I wrote about the future of the Oakland Raiders would have more finality to it. After months of bickering, rumors and smokescreens, and fans and local governments getting torn apart by multimillion dollar corporations, it seemed like the horribly bungled Los Angeles relocation circus was finally […]

3.9K14Final thoughts and prediction for the Oakland Raiders stadium situation
No playoffs for the Oakland Raiders means full-tilt stadium talk until the NFL owners meetings on Jan. 12-13. As usual, rather than covering every little rumor and innuendo that is floated on Twitter, I am taking a global approach and only looking at what I consider to be the significant factors involved. So, what are […]

2.8K6Raiders’ 23-17 loss in KC summarized their 2015 season quite well
The Oakland Raiders have completed the 2015 (and a little bit of 2016) season with a rather pathetic loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders didn’t look ready to play from the get-go, while the Chiefs looked ready to start a playoff run. Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle had a theory as […]

5.4K41City of Oakland plays smart politics with Raiders stadium issue
The City of Oakland is not going to budge on their insistence that no public money should be spent on a new stadium for the Oakland Raiders. They are so stout in that commitment that they are not going to provide the NFL with a detailed stadium plan by Wednesday as requested. The NFL owners are […]

3.5K5Why an ugly win on Christmas Eve was beautiful for the Raiders
They say that a win is a win and nothing could be more true for the Oakland Raiders. In an up-and-down game that was far from pretty, the Raiders were able to outlast the San Diego Chargers with a field goal in overtime. But given how this season has gone for the Raiders, they will […]

6.0K6Bay Area Santa Guy: Christmas presents for every local pro team’s fans
Even though they haven’t all been good this year, I’m going to play the role of Santa Claus today and slide down the chimneys of every professional sports franchise in the Bay with gifts. And no re-gifting, expired gift cards or bargain-basement trinkets from the dollar store on the corner, either. These presents are sure […]
