We suspect the Raiders will ultimately decide against franchising Bush, and instead sign a relatively affordable free agent to compete with Taiwan Jones behind McFadden.

Forsett has ties to Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, as well as new Bears quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates.

Prediction: Raiders on a two-year, $5 million contract.


Yeah buddy. Come back to Cali, Forsett.

Hall Davis (who we signed in early January) looked pretty decent in his combine http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-combine/09000d5d816dd550/2010-Combine-workout-Hall-Davis

...another unpolished DE gem?

Hands are to high. Not to say he couldnt end up being something. Weird story.

Drafted by the Rams. Has a good pre-season and then is traded to Washington who runs a 3-4 for an undisclosed pick. They drop him the very next day. He then sat on Tennessee's PS for a full year.

Very Happy

Nice find. Good quickness for a big guy. Hope Allen can make something of him.

Wow. That's a weird history. What happened at the Redskins to make him drop him having spent a draft pick on him? Are there any stories of off-field behaviour or anything?

That is very interesting. I wonder if an injury at another position forced them to make another move and Davis being the new comer was the easiest one to let go of? Who knows.

Ran into my boy Taiwon Jones out in Brentwood tonight. Talked to him about his health and rookie year. Said it was a disappointment and he's ready for 2012. Hammy is 100% and he coulda played down the stretch if given the chance. Hopefully he can stay healthy. Kid can be a nice weapon 10-15 plays a game.

I don't think there was any chance of us franchising Bush regardless of having Taiwan Jones or not.

Interesting. Huebert shelving him for the playoffs as well?

Weird how he treated injuries. If a guy says he can go and wants to play, don't you owe it to the team? Pretty sure Bush would have liked the rest Jones could have offered him.

No. 8 million dollars in salary will stop that.
