Training camp opened today, if this was baseball,
it would be time for a long winded essay
by George Will as read by Bob Costas about hope springing eternal and all those other cliches that are part of Americana. This is football, however, and instead of waxing poetically about new beginnings the Raider Nation is preparing their spikes and face paint to get hyped. So far, there is good news in ...

CNN SI is reporting that Nnamdi Asomugha is
intending to sign his one year tender, show up
to camp and be ready for a great season. Raider Nation can now breathe a huge sigh of relief, well sort of. There’s still the business of signing Asomugha long term and if this report is true, it’s another reason as to why the Raiders can’t afford to let him get away. Since the Raiders have moved back to ...

told Lamont Jordan to stay away from training camp.
This is the second straight camp that the Raiders have informed their former starter that his services wouldn’t be necessary to the team. So what do the Raiders do now? They can either hold on to Jordan hoping for a trade and drop him during the final cuts, or they could cut him now and...

Americans like to think they're the best at

Well so much for dumping Jordan to have
more cap room to sign more free agents. With
little fan fare, the Raiders inked former starting free safety, Greg Wesley. Wesley will join a group of safeties vying for a backup job with the Raiders. In order to do that, he’s going to have to beat out rookie Tyvon Branch, special teams ace Jarrod Cooper, and former backup-turned starter-turned backup, ...

This has been a tumultuous offseason for the
Raider Nation. First there was the ongoing saga of
whether or not Al Davis and Lane Kiffin were playing a game of dare to see whether Kiffin would quit, be fired, or coach for the 2008 season. Nnamdi Asomugha was given the franchise tag, and then free agents were signed fast and furious to huge contracts. Meanwhile, there was not motion on locking ...

The Tyvon Branch signing is a welcomed event
and any other day of his signing would have
been something that Raider Nation could celebrate, just not today. Although the rookie is expected to make a strong impact on special teams in 2008, he’s not expected to start and would only play defense in the worst of all situations, an injury or poor play. One defensive back expected to make an impact ...
