Comments on: Raiders Add Another Piece on Defense Signing DE Spires http://www.raidersgab.com/2008/05/13/raiders-add-another-piece-on-defense-signing-de-spires/ The Definitive Oakland Raiders Blog!

Granted that they are both up in age, but they are both solid in terms of their ability. DT is a bigger concern than DE is. While I have heard that Oakland is talking to Grady Jackson, there still has been no news of a deal being reached. I liked how aggressive the Raiders were this offseason in signing players that could help the team. BUT I do have a problem with the amount of money they have signed away and to whom said money was given to. 50.5 Mil to Tommy Kelly? Are you serious? 55 Mil to Javon Walker? Even after 3 knee surgeries? It is for these reasons why I am now going to school with the hopes of one day being a GM of an NFL franchise, preferably the Oakland Raiders of course. I have a desire to fix their money troubles as well as fixing the team. I bid you adieu for now, but until next time....
