With the aquisition of Randy Moss, the Raiders have a very formidable deep passing game. Moss, Porter and Ronald Curry are a heck of a WR core. Kerry Collins throws a pretty good long ball. What they lack is a front line RB to set up the pass. They MUST find one and Davis is aware of this problem.
By trading away the #7 overall pick, they won't get a shot at a true blue chip RB. TD stated today at the Indy Combine that the Cardinals trade is NOT etched in stone and they will be talking to many teams. Dismissed it as a good rumor. ( On local Channel 4 Sports at 6pm )
So, who is still out there in the UFA RB market ? Henry and....little else.
Go ahead TD, play hard to get. Something tells me our GM suddenly is holding a Full House and he knows this. L.J.Shelton isn't bad at all ( I'd take it) but Davis is known to roll the dice.
Let them come and grovel. I'm betting Henry is suddenly more popular than he was 3 days ago, before all the good RB's ahead of him were locked up by their own teams.
I bet Davis will talk to TD and may give us more than we could expect. He's low on options. Call it an educated hunch.
Stay tuned.
