Perhaps we are not aware of all the ongoing attempts at acquiring that "legit veteran NT".

Just saying'.
They are attempting, that's the screwing around part, they need to up their offer and get it done.

Very good point. I hope Devon lives up to the hype once he is healthy and ready to play.
Agree. I really hope he plays close to his draft position because if he is a miss, that’s a big miss then

If there is someone "available" I hope they don't offer more than a 4th rounder.
John needs to have more of a poker face, he's pushed his chips into the pot & lost too many times now. Moving forward, the draft should be our vehicle to success. JS likes to tinker with talent/ depth/chemistry/cap and IMHO over valuing certain players is his biggest & maybe only flaw.

Drake Thomas looked great all preseason for the Raiders led them in tackles I can’t believe they cut him. Better depth and special teams player than Rhattigan and quicker

How funny would that be, if the easily-acquired Drake goes on to have a far more productive career with Seattle than the arm-and-a-leg Adams, their different positions notwithstanding.

This ^ I hope he HOLDS UP to the battering that he's going to put his body through if he does live up to that "Hype"

Another article on Kelly and Thomas from their respective former coach's perspective.

Yeah getting Kelly is kind of like getting another draft pick. At the very least both look like real good candidates to excel on special teams while they work on the nuances of their position.

There's no cap space without another restructure. I'm guessing the roster churn is over and there's no incoming NT.
