Wow. Raiders being the Raiders.

10 years? Sheesh, that's nuts. It will be a miracle if he lasts 4.

 

[Mitch]

That is pure insanity. Classic Raiders' gamble.

 

[unseenaz]

Wow lol

 

[Vacard]

Hahahahaha

Agent high selling. There will be a team option to pick up contracts after year 5-6 with escalated salaries. Not buying it.

Guess this answers "What would it take for Gruden to leave the booth" question. Answer: only $100M.

Cool - wish I could get that kind of coin.

 

[Solar7]

That's a lot of money. I think he'll be a good fit for the transition to Vegas though. A bit of a larger than life personality going forward into a city that will have a major spotlight on it, moreso than the hockey team here.

The cost of hiring NFL HCs just went up thanks to the raiders.

Great for Gruden. That is amazing!

 

[TRW]

Guess that's a consolation for not being able to give him an ownership stake.

Keep an eye for Cousins to Raiders now. Flipping Derek Carr will get you nearly 2 first rounders as well. Offseason just got interesting.

Well, we got our last QB from the Raiders. Though 2 1st's is a bit high. Especially considering he wouldn't be the sitting QB, but the guy they want to get rid of so they can sign Cousins (or a guy they need to get rid of AFTER signing Cousins).

Take the QB from his brother? lol....

Cousins a is a free agent. Bruce Allen doesn't want to pay cousins. How is that stealing?

Precisely. What good are Keim's two first rounders anyway? They should get Derek Carr if price is two first rounders.

It wouldn't be stealing, obviously, but I think Jay will tell him that Cousins isn't worth the money lol

In either Gruden's mind, Cousins only has to be better than Carr for this to happen, no?

 

[PJ1]

I have heard Gruden be highly critical of Cousins...Doubt he ends up in Oakland.

For a hundred mill, I would come out of retirement or quit my day job.

Not me, what could be better than sitting here every day posting on the Cardinals forum while waiting for that elusive faux championship ring we all are dying to wear.

 

[blindseyed]
