Commitment to Excelence

I thought it was time to restore the greatness what used to be the Oakland Raiders. First step is deciding to play the year out with Palmer or get agressive and get my guy. I decided to blow this team up, build it to fit my style of play, so with that said here was my first move as GM of the Silver and Black.

I would much rather have a franchise QB then a Franchise HB so I sent McFadden, Seymour, Palmer, 1 2012 and a 2 in 2013 to St. Louis for Sam Bradford. A lot to give up, but I have Bush and Jones to share the duties that I lose with McFadden. Lamar Houston slides to Seymours DT spot leaving Shaughnessey and Scott at the DE positions.

I love the speed of my corners and their potential, I don't love though, Branch at SS. His coverage skills aren't very good and with most teams going 3 and 4 wide, I need a better SS with better coverage skills. My thought process is to find a team that needs an upgrade at Safety and ship Branch to that team for either picks or a player. I will go through my first two preseason games with Branch as I attempt to find a trade partner.
