Contract Talks With Tommie Harris Broke Off

Harris wants to play in Chicago, but still wants to be paid as an elite player and have one more shot at free agency when he turns thirty.

With less than three weeks left before the 2008 NFL Draft, the drums are beginning to beat louder for teams to make certain picks. The Oakland Raiders fans may be beating the loudest drums, just not the same ones. The sounds emanating from Raider Nation sound a lot like Chris Long, Darren McFadden, Vernon Gholston, or trade down amongst others. It seems like we hear this every year, but ...

LDizzle’s take on draft “experts” was just in time. Its MVN’s turn to compile a mock draft. This will third annual edition of the MVN writers’ mock draft. Thus far, Thoughts from the Dark Side is 0-2 in predicting the Raiders choices. In 2006, I selected AJ Hawk and last year Calvin Johnson. Hopefully, this year with Rob on board we’ll be able to get one right.
