From Adam Schefter on NFL Network: Both the Raiders and Titans claimed Gabriel off waivers, but the Raiders had first dibs because of their record. Randy Moss might be out with an injury, which means Gabriel could start for them Sunday. Sooooo, the Raiders get their guy back and keep a "free" fifth-rounder from the Pats. Makes us look sort of bad.

Yeah, we lost a 5th rounder. It was a mistake. But not exactly a franchise shattering one. No biggie, just a small loss.

Watch Gabriel have a big game and then we'll have to listen to all the crickets on this board.

Watch Raiders win their last 3.

It's more damaging that we lost the fifth, in my opinion. Koppen, O'Callaghan... both fifth rounders.

But then, PK Sam and Mincey were too. So I should cheer up.

And for a few weeks there it really seemed like he was. I honestly thought he was on his way to a 900 yard season with 8 TDs.

I thought I remembered reading in an article somewhere when Gabriel was cut that it was actually a conditional 5th we traded.

If true makes you wonder if one of the conditions wasn't that he play in N number of games and that last week wasn't N-1.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can clarify.......

I fekt the same way...

Honestly, I don't think they gave him enough a chance.

Belichick says it was srictly an "on field performance" decision, but I have to doubt that...

As bad as they need recievers, they really should have given him a better shot...
