Raiders Big Spenders Again

The Raiders locked up both WR Javon Walker and RT Kwame Harris for $55 million over five years and $14 million over three years respectively. The Harris signing was good. They didn't commit a huge amount of money because he's not a sure thing, but it's likely they can find a spot for him somewhere along the line... if not at T then maybe at G. 

It's the Walker signing I have problem with. The guy has had 3 knee surgeries since 2002 and only two 1000 yard receiving seasons. Not to mention he's had huge emotional problems since watching Darrent Williams die. His talent has never matched up to his potential, and I don't think he'll be blossoming at 30 years old. Not good Raiders. Not good. 

Wow. I just read that until the Walker signing the Raiders only had one WR with more than 6 career catches (cause Jerry Porter left). Hilarious. 

Oh snap. They also cut LT Barry Sims. He's huge, he's funny, he's called a 'false start machine' and I'll miss him. Somebody please sign him. Even though he's really not that great.
