Raiders sign Adam Archuleta; project him at OLB

[FADERPROOF]

Just got espn.com alert text message that read:

ESPN NFL - Adam Archuleta reached agreement with Raiders ; will convert him from safety to outside linebacker.

[socalorado]

This makes perfect sense in "fader world"

[Kaylore]

Al Davis is a genius! Quick! Lock him up for 40 million!

[PRBronco]

Al Davis is a genius! Quick! Lock him up for 40 million!

Haha, beat me to the gross salary exaggeration joke!

[Smiling Assassin27]

Next up for the Raiders, Shaun Alexander who will be converted to Left Tackle.

[Br0nc0Buster]

Well this is the official nail in the coffin for Archuleta.

Oakland is the place where players' careers go to die.

[Orange_Beard]

Ian Gold would have been a better choice.

[Bronx33]

I can't wait to see what crazy alice pays him.

[rovolution]

my how far has Archuleta fallen.

06 he was highest paid safety in Pro Football (another Dan Snyder bonehead move)-08 and hes basically playing for NFL minimum wage

[Foochacho]

Haha thats awesome archuleta sucks ass. Way to bring in a winner Al :thumbs:.

[broncofan2438]

Yea, heard about this on Sirius NFL radio. I didn't even know he was on the market

[ohiobronco2]

Quick Al, sign all of the free agents so nobody else can. He realizes there are roster limitations, right?

[Atwater His Ass]

this amuses me

[broncosteven]

So Crazy Al DOES PLAY MADDEN!

He noticed his Madden rating was higher at OLB than Safety!

[broncocalijohn]

Well this is the official nail in the coffin for Archuleta.

Oakland is the place where players' careers go to die.

ironically, same with many of their fans who where the wrong gang colors.

I'll say this - if he can tackle - we need him!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

We have been ran on by everybody and my grandmothers three legged dog!! We need another LB and if he can tackle - put him in there!!!

[missingnumber7]

LMAO...I would put more money on your grandmothers three legged dog stopping someone than archuletta stopping someone.

Hilarious!

You could be right!!

But, why (they say) we got him is he absolutely sucks in pass coverage so that excludes any zone defense, but I guess he can play on short yardage and run downs... I'll take his sorry ass over what we have!!

According to NFL.com, the dude is 5'11 and 215. And we used to make jokes about Ian Gold.

What til your OLB - whose only qualification is being able to tackle - is heads up on a pulling guard. I foresee one cleat mark on his knee, a second on his groin, a third on his chest, and the fourth one on his helmet, as the guard goes thru him like a city bus thru Geo Metro.

Its hard to make that tackle when you are pressed 1 inch into the grass.

[TallyBronco]

Might as well put David Archuleta out there if you're coaching Oakland.

[Taco John]

Ashley Lelie would make a great corner. Whaddaya say, Al?

Marcus Nash...Brian Griese?

[Arkansas Bronco]

I actually want to know what Max or RR really think of this move.

[Los Broncos]

Al Davis is a genius! Quick! Lock him up for 40 million!

:rofl:

[Hogan11]

Ian Gold would have been a better choice.

No kidding...but I needed a laugh this morning and the Raiders provided it like they usually do.

[Broncos4Life]

Hey AL don't die on us yet. You're doin a great job putting together a great team! Keep 'em coming. :thumbs:

[Killericon]

:(

I was always an Archuleta fan. At least it's heartwarming to see Al Davis is still bat**** insane.

[Goobzilla]

Just released, that was fun.

Thanks for the laughs Al.
