Damn! That's a good signing by them. He will help their running game. Now all they need to do is get a good O-line, QB, and TE and their offense will be able to help the team win some games. :~ohyah!:
Where's that put LaMont Jordan?
Seems like he had a good year 2 seasons ago when they actually had a little offense....

Let's see how he does behind a crap OL and a non existent passing game when Moss and Porter manage to escape. Walter? Or a fat rookie?
Next Lamont Jordan will be trying to escape.

Didn't Lamont restructure his contract a couple of days ago??

Jordan took an outright pay cut.

A couple years ago everyone was pretty high on Lamont Jordon being a top 5 or 10 back who should crank out a 1200 yard season. But he had no supporting cast. Rhodes is only a good sign if they have some people to block for him and at least an average QB (how about any QB at this point). They have way too many holes to fill on offense for him to see any success. He's going to get pounded just like Russell will if they draft him. Right now the Faiders are the NFL's triple A affiliate.

Poor guy, who would want to play for that team? Didn't he have any other options at all?

He'll learn the difference...real quick between have manning open up the field and whatever bum they have back there. I hope it's Russell.

Just for a second when I was writing my last post, I almost started to feel sorry for the Raiders. OK, it's gone now, but I feel dirty and am going to go take a shower.

Then Raiders just signed a guy who "went to Disneyworld".
That doesn't fit their image.
OK, good news Fantasy Football players. Joseph Addai and Laurence Maroney will not split carries next year. Both are solid number 1's.

Its been said. Rhodes success is directly related to Peyton to Harrison, Peyton to Wayne, and Peyton to Clark. Rhodes won't show much with the Fade. Better option than Lamont though.

We're installing the chop block and vaseline scheme.. no blue chip RB required.

Wouldn't that be illegal? Last I checked, the leauge outlawed such tactics. No team uses them.
