The best available player in our Free Agent Hot 100 has been snapped up.

Former Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith has agreed to a deal with the Raiders.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that it’s a four-year deal worth $40 million, with $20 million guaranteed.

Heading into free agency, Smith was our No. 14 player available. The 13 ahead of him have all either signed a contract or been franchised.

A 2009 second-round pick of the Dolphins, Smith played four seasons in Miami before signing a three-year, $18 million deal with the Chiefs in free agency. Now Smith is on his third team, and his third contract.

We're one of the few teams that have bookends at OT.

It's not going to be a weakness to be honest now. We signed arguably the best RT in the game. Fisher came on last year.
Morse is really good. We need guards possibly we'll see how they go into year two.

I'm curious to see how Oaklands defense progresses now. They still have needs at safety and DL. Maybe at ILB to I'm not sure I don't know their defense that well.

Yea, you know because Alex Smith is interception prone and Smith is a ballhawk.

Figured Oakland would have a good shot to sign him. He is that street smart kind of guy that Oakland used to have back in the day.

Oakland will be tougher next year than Denver in my opinion. Denver coming off a SB win takes some air out of the balloon while Oakland is building a ton of talent. Can they finally not blow it and screw up late in games as they have for the last 20 years?

not anymore

Fisher - gave up 2 sacks last year? turning into a really solid LT
Morse - when healthy, stud
Fulton - Bear in a phone booth at center, hope he stays there
LDT - improved, still reaches too often
Schwartz - one of the best RTs in the league in recent years

all young and improving

we do need some depth though

Reid (G/T)
Pughsley (G/T)
Munyer (C)

AFW West looking like the good old tough division from back in the day. Just the Chargers suck. They look like a franchise stuck in the mud.

I don't see this improving them all that much, he is arguably worse or equal to Charles Woodson so not a whole lot has changed on their defensive front.

saphojunkie · 03-10-2016, 12:32 PM

Smaller deal than I imagined, but that's going to be dead cap money soon enough, and we have had enough of that around here.

With Howard and Schwartz getting signed, cornerback is top of the list.

I'd say Smith's a little better, but I do agree it's almost a wash in the secondary.

If they get Weddle though...

$10M per is pretty pricy for a stone handed CB

Yeah, I hate to see him go, but at least he won't be making interceptions against us.

I would agree that CB is suddenly a draft priority.

Stupid Goodell. Stealing our third round pick just so he could move the Patriots up a spot.
