NFL News Raiders just fired Pierce

[Lagaffe_07]

Mayo is available. What are the owners of the Raiders fond of doing?

Kraft really want Vrabel. He will give him whatever he wants.

Interesting that the GM firing was delayed... Almost as if the HC they want, wants to bring in his guy, or wants personnel power themselves...

Yep or Brady is pissed at Telesco for not reaching out to Vrabel much earlier if Vrabel already has an agreement with the Pats.

Kind of risky doing that before even getting the guy

If you believe Bedard (I think it was Bedard, maybe it was someone else), the Pats have had an agreement in place with him since a couple days after the Chargers game.

I think Tom was willing to take the risk has Ben Johnson approved a interview with the Raiders yet?

It was a poster here who said a source told him personally Jon had dinner with him.
A verbal agreement means nothing til it’s signed.
See Josh McDaniels.

That's right, although I think Bedard had said something close to this.

I don’t why everybody is scared of the Raiders.

Vrabel has won 3 SB with the Patriots. He is in the team HOF, has a very good relationship with the Krafts, has a franchise QB

he would really pass on that basically just for Tom?

Because of Tom Brady's competitiveness. He will not lose.

I think he has but why BJ would go to a team with no QB and a clown as an owner ?

The Raiders have $110 m in cap space. They have the 6th pick in the draft and Vrabel would report to Tom...not bowl head.

They have the 6th pick in the draft

Brady has $

Brady has $, even if it's under the table

Unlike the Pats?

They have $110 in cap space?! Crap....that's a lot.

Brady does not have NFL (majority) owner money. For context, Mark Davis has about 10 times the net worth of Brady.

Tom is a minority owner that lives in Miami. And until proven otherwise he will still be broadcasting next year and he will rarely be in the building. He isn’t running the franchise. Until Brady owns 51% of the Raiders any HC that they bring will report to Mark Davis.

The Patriots are still a better situation. If Kraft really want Vrabel he will give him anything he wants and Wolf won’t be a roadblock to that. If he is then that means Kraft wasn’t really that interested in Vrabel.

Agreed

I don't think Davis cares about percentage when it comes to Brady helping the team. Money is not the issue either...it's Tom's understanding of football, Mike Vrabel and Tom's desire to win at all costs.

Liquidity matters. How much of Davis' net worth is the team?

Raiders fired their GM. Vrabel can work the guy he wants instead of wolf and robyn glaser. Far more appealing IMO.

That's the real interesting news this hour.
That signifies they're pushing to sign a HC that will choose his own GM. I hope that's not luring Vrabel away from Pats.

Who knows - that could be clearing room for BB to Raiders!

 

[NFL Mystique]

The AFC West is stacked with great QB's (Nix is an unknown) and HC's. That has to be a negative for any HC going there.

Relationship with krafts is always wrt to kraft's benefit. By that means, Tom should be part of the patriots not the raiders. But the krafts never extended that to him.
