    Raiders are busy

    March 2, 2005

    Busy in Oakland

    The Raiders contacted Jets halfback LaMont Jordan and convinced him to fly to Oakland to try to get him signed on the day they are trying to finalize the Randy Moss trade. The Jets have a very strong offer on the table to keep him, but the Dolphins and Bucs are also in pursuit. The Raiders are currently $2.3 million under the cap, but they have to clear more space to fit in the Moss contract and even more to do Jordan. Among the guys who could get cut are defensive tackle John Parrella and guard Ron Stone.



    I wouldn't mind taking a look at John Parella. He is a solid DT, should be relatively cheap no?

    Hes older so probably...
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        Didn't Parella already do one stint in Buffalo? And whats the deal with Stone? I thought at one time he was considered to be an above average guard.

          Ron Stone would be a good pick-up, if he's who I'm thinking of.

          Isn't he a pro-bowl Guard?

            Hes older, from my area. I think he was only a starter for a short time.

              I remember him doing good with San Fran for some reason?

                Yeah I believe the Raiders were starting Middleton and Grove at the guard positions last year.

                  Those were his best years.. I think he was only a starter for like 4 years or so.

                    I thought Parrella was with Buffalo at one point:

                    Looks like he was with Buffalo for only one year, 1993.

                        Both guys are old as dirt. To put it in perspective, they both started 2 years before Juice Sr. (1993), and we were headed to our last SB. I'll pass.

                          As much as I have always liked Parella, I will take a pass on him due to age and obvious downward turn in production.

                            Parella did good for the Raiders two years ago but was moved to the bench last year when Oakland brought in Sapp and Washington. I think he may have another good year or two in him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Tampa. Ron Stone was a very good O-Linemen for San Fran. He is older as well though. I don't think they plan on starting Middleton as one poster said. I think they released Middleton earlier this weak. I may be mistaken though.
