    Scheffter says

    Oakland has emerged as leader in Donovan McNabb sweepstakes. Doesn't mean another team couldn't get deal done, but Raiders are team to beat.

    Good to hear, we don't overpay like the Raiders do.

        I'm elated to hear the news. Don't get me wrong, I love McNabb and I have been hoping that he comes here, but if the reports are correct about him wanting an 8 figure salary then thanks but no thanks....

          See what I mean? You don't phrase it as opinion, and post the same thing in every thread. Quite annoying for everyone.

            Yes McNabb would be an upgrade from what we have on our roster.

            No I don't want him anyway.

              Going to Oakland will pretty much end McNabb's career, IMO.

                Thats great news though. Any extra wins means a lower draft pick for the Pats. Come on OAK, shove the Pats down to the 20s.
                Buy land in AK now. In ten years due to global warming, it will be the new tropical paradise, minus the tropics

                  People need to keep in mind that McNabb could be the missing piece to a very young and potential filled offense.

                  They have McFadden and Bush at RB. Murphy, Schillenz, and DHB at WR, and Zach Miller at TE. If they could land a franchise LT this could become a very competitive offense.

                  I'd take it over our own in all honesty with McNabb.

                    How will Oakland be able to afford both McNabb's and Jamarcus Russell's contracts? Especially if they give McNabb a contract extension.

                      Couldn't agree with you more dude
                      The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

                        I'm pretty sure the way his contract was set up, that Russell could be cut.

                          Probably, but wouldn't they lose a lot due to the pro-rated signing bonus?

                            Here are Russell's contract details:

                            Find all the latest Rotoworld fantasy sports news, live coverage, videos, highlights, stats, predictions, and results right here on NBC Sports.


                            From the looks of it, both his base salaries for all 6 years and his signing bonus are guaranteed.

                            Therefore, pro-rated, his signing bonus ($19.9 mil) is $3.31 mil a year, of which if they cut him this year, they would technically owe half (3 year remaining=1/2 of contract) of the signing bonus at $10 mil. And taking into account the voidable 6th year, his 4th year (this year at $9.45 mil) and his 5th year (next year at $9.35 mil) would have to be paid out at over $18.5 mil.

                            I may be wrong, but from a preliminary look of it and without seeing the actual contract, the Raiders seem to be on the hook for over $28 mil.
