A well rested hello from myself and the staff of RaiderBeat. Many of you have noticed that we have been on hiatus for about a week now, as we reboot and get ready for the next season of Raider Football.
RaiderBeat.com is working on setting up the foundation for a new format. One that would include social networking and much more user interaction. Time has been spent working with multiple platforms and several different web designers to see if we can create a site that will be both exciting to use and advertiser friendly. We are taking our time with this process. Our last decision to try to become a subscription based site was as popular around here as certain first round draft choices.
Check back often, for any updates we can give you.
Now to the Raiders…
Coaching decision – Managing general partner Al Davis is going to do what he wants when he wants.
Free agents - General Manager Al Davis is going to sign whomever he feels will help the Raiders win now.
Draft — Davis will put a heavy emphasis on speed.
There you go, I know its the Readers Digest version, but I am confident that whenever we come back it will still have been an accurate statement.
Thanks for being the best fans anywhere

pleeeeeease sign Lilja! and yes, it’s about time Cornell Green and the Raiders part ways! Best move of the offseason for any team! Addition by subtraction!
now what about antonio pierce… he could plug the hole in the middle couldn’t he? maybe Lito Sheppard as our nickel back… and for goodness sake, please don’t sign laveraneus, galloway or mason.
damn!!! that sucks now w/green gone jfartcuz won’t have to come into camp inshape knowing green is gone that was incentive to run fast behind his blocking. poor bills what did their QB do to deserve that??? addition by subtraction! just kelly, warren, joseph,williams,jamarcus, cornell,route and walker to go. any rookie will do well to replace them
oppss…carlisle not cornell! LOL the other ex donkey!
JAVON and ELLIS GONE!!!! somethins brewin in raider land! maybe just MAYBE…Al wanted the big money big names outta the way and not try to grab the spotlight w/a huge BUST deal…and get some just SOLID players not diva’s aka moss,javon,meangelo…maybe as the FA stocks slip on players the bucks paid will get lower not a 3 year 40 mil contract like peppers.
and OWNS IN CINCI???? OHHH LORD!!! LOL didn’t they learn their lesson when 1/2 the team had criminal charges or was in jail the other season??? GOOD LUCK!!!!! LOL
now thats the best news we’ve had all year(except for ellis), but his age hurt him plus the injuries. i think shaugnessey is ready to go, he’s built like jared allen(thank goodness he is out of the division)!
yeppie!!!!!! broncs got jamal and ANOTHER DT!!! way to stick it to em AL!!! or…stick it to the fans by doin ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! really hope we get anthony becht! we need him so so bad 8 years of crap and counting
I herd javon is available!
we should look @ keith Bulluck & AL Davis is the worlds biggest drag ass were missing out on players left and right
A league source tells us that Johnson is scheduled to visit the Raiders on Sunday.
bahhhaaahaaaa!! just what we need! AWESOME!!!!!! and bryant signed w/the bungles. ohh well F it! we’ll wait for the draft to get our pressing needs I’m sure of it. a DB or running back at 8 sounds perfect!!!! and yes..the draft has very few DB’s and RB that are worth the 8th pick that’s why we will get one at number 8 and head into the next season with holes that needed to be filled 3 to 8 years ago!!!!!!
ohhh wait…maybe there is a bush trade in the making if we get johnson? if the skins get him first there goes that plan.
