Was not expecting this but I like it.

 

[DaBruinz]

I'll wait until it's officially announced.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Excellent news. But, Mods, would you humor ("humour") an old pedant, please? There is a world of difference between resigning and re-signing. I am glad it's the latter.

I wonder how Vrabs and Wolf view our need at edge.
If K re-signs, do they think a healthy Landry, along with development of Ponder and potential Swinson is good enough?
I hope not. Whether via the draft or FA, we need more juice.
I think most of us expect an edge in the first 2 rds of the draft assuming we don't sign a stud in FA or make a trade.
But.....perhaps we won't see an edge early in the draft as we have lots of needs and value has to be there. We might end up taken a player later in the draft who is a pass rush specialist, that will need development to contribute on 1st and 2nd down.

Might be considered a desperation signing. We so badly need pass rush that we were incentivized to be aggressive.

I really hope it wasn't for big money.

I doubt they're done. I'm sure they're having some real discussions with Landry about his future.
Signing Chaisson means they need to only fill the Pass Rusher 1 position, instead of both pass rusher positions. Saves them (my guess, no information here) a draft pick. I think the Crosby/Hendrickson stuff is just smoke.

Holy **** dude, he was the best pass rusher in the entire playoffs.

I'm not buying the Crosby talk.
Raiders want two 1sts and a good player in return, eff that!
I think Hendrickson is the more likely of the two, but he goes against the "get younger and cheaper" mantra.
If we don't sign a significant OG in FA, I want one in the first 2 rds, no ****ing around with developmental guys. Of course that assumes one of the top 3 OGs are there, and our braintrust has them graded out to what the popular opinion is.

No, full stop.

I would note Jennings contributes more than Ponder and Swinson, and will likely continue to do so.

A healthy Landry is a serious issue. If he doesn't project to be nearly 100%, I expect a midlevel signing AND a draft choice in the first 3 rounds.

Has this been confirmed anywhere?

Maybe I'm missing it, but when I go to Chaisson's Instagram, this is not up.

No mention anywhere else.

They saw the same games we did

Free agency hasn’t even started yet. The league year hasn’t even started yet. Do you know what desperation means?

It is in his Instagram stories and it is still there. I just checked.

My guess is if he is really signing that the terms have been agreed to and maybe some final details are being hashed out.

I only saw his posts.

And Savage is ok, but wrong a lot.

So this is good news. He should be kept.

 

[TheRainMaker]

This is bizarre.

 

[ViperGTS]

Very interesting. Never even touched FA, yet here he is. My guess is he signed a very team friendly contract.

I saw the contract length and numbers on Facebook but did not save it.

Short term, high guarantees, team-friendly, would be my guess. 2-3 years? Enough so he can really cash in after this contract.
Works out great for both sides if that's the case.
