He just signed with the Raiders. That one I totally nailed.
Yes, you did. I thought in the end they would go with one of a handful of other names, a few of which were still with teams in the playoffs. Maybe they got caught up in that game of musical chairs. PC going up against Harbaugh, Reid, and Payton in the same division without a franchise QB...okay.

Maybe, just maybe Pete's agent put this DC idea out there to pressure the Raiders into making quicker decisions.

Its high risk high reward job for Pete. If it fails miserably its going to prove the people who think he was outdated down the stretch like I did. We saw evidence of that with Macdonald fixing what Pete couldn't for years. @Sun Tzu obviously disagrees with the laughing emojis and no discourse so this is his chance to show us we were wrong.

I'm rooting for Pete but if he doesn't get a QB its going to be really tough. If he turns Vegas around it cements his spot as one of the best ever which I also believe.

He has Geno and Wilson, both willing and able to help.

Honestly if he got either one it gives him a fighting chance. I know people clown both of those guys but they're veterans who can still play in my opinion. Bridge options at least and then let a rookie sit for a year or get to next years draft. If either guy goes there this forum is going to implode lol

Geno would be cheaper, but it highly depends on the hiring of OC, Geno and Wilson are not identical in their playing styles.

I can't wait to see how all of this plays out. Seattle, Vegas and all of this is going to make for a great off season

Raiders go after who they want, have always under Al and Mark been win now pay later. Especially with a older coach now, Raiders make splashes this off season and plenty of them.

I figured, wildly different players. Both can be successful just depends on what you want. If I had to guess I wonder if Pete, who likes a redemption story, wants him and Russ to work together to prove everyone wrong. Russ is good in Pete's system and it would be kind of funny to stick it to nearly everyone. Most of the Pete supporters hate Russ and most of the Russ supporters hate Pete so them having success together would be hilarious.

Thank you for the acknowledgment. With this said, my predictions have been more wrong than right over the years, but this one was a good one for me.

I would rather have a DC that has produced a decent defense past 2015! Saleh. Defense was good in NYJ too
