i would like this if it happens when healthy he can get to the QB just as good as peppers both of them play DE and we dont if they can play OLB but pepper would cost a lot of money and a first round pick Burgess will be here for no more then a 3rd round pick and sign for about 2 million a year

This would be a nice, under-the-radar move. Wonder if Burgess did something to impress Belichick during Super Bowl 39.

As much as I look forward to seeing what Crabel, Redd and Woods can do, I will feel much better having a legit pass rusher out opposite Thomas, especially on 3rd and longs.

I'm not saying he's a great player, but it definantly makes the defense better with 2 capable pass rushers.

didn't the raiders just tie up a ton of money in this guy or am I thinking of someone else on defense?

Yup, Doug Gabriel is a star.

no, I believe he's in the last year of a 5 year $17m deal.
he's been wanting a new deal for, like, the last 3 years, but I don't think oakland ever caved.

ps

maybe you're thinking about the corner --- nnamandi assasmokah.

No, he is in the last year of his contract.

Article about Raiders salary cap

Quote:
One name that has recently come up in trade speculation is defensive end Derrick Burgess, who the Raiders are rumored to be shopping. Burgess becomes a free agent after the 2009 season so it would make sense that Oakland would trade him now in order to gain compensation. If they were able to trade him, they would free up $3.5 million in cap space, which isn’t a huge amount but it would help.

This was an April 24th question to Mike Reiss in his column that he apparently didn't answer but this question was posted nearly a month ago - Question number 5 in the link provided - Patriots to Tweet draft picks - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com.

Unless losing Jason Taylor means anything regarding this rumor, I would say that a deal would have been done by now if this possible trade or interest came up in late April.

The Eagles will probably scoop him up

I would imagine oakland's been shopping him for quite some time considering they're right at the cap and he's in the last year of his deal.

I don't imagine it should take much to get him, but who knows with the raiders --- maybe they're asking a first.
