I dunno, I haven't found Reggie McKenzie's hiring decisions to be particularly inspiring. This goes from his selection of coaches, to his selection of quarterbacks (Matt Flynn and Matt Schaub both got paid well, at a time when no one else wanted them), to his choice in free agents. The first two years he had a financial mess on his hands, but that excuse has gone away. The results remain unimpressive, to say the least. |
Compared to a few years ago, Oakland is much more tame in free agency. I remember one offseason where the Raiders handed a humoungous contract to Tommy Kelly (a backup DT) and gave up a crapload of picks to trade for and sign Dante "Falls" Hall to another bloated contract, only to cut him eight games into the season.
