What to expect from Raider free agents

Tommy Kelly, Nnamdi Asomugha, Justin Fargas, and Jerrod Cooper should be brought back for sure. Chris Clemmons and John Madsen would be nice to have back too. Jon Condo, Ricky Brown and Isaihah Ekejuba shoould be brought back for Special Teams. Chris Carr should come back unless we can get somebody better for kick returns.

At this point, we don't have a lot of draft picks. The Raiders gotta take care of business during free agency.

That and make the best of the draft picks we do have.

I think N.A. is only "for sure" to bring back. Tommy Kelly, Justin Fargas and Jerrod Cooper are "far sures" only at the right price (it shouldn't be a problem). Personally, I would pay a little extra for Chris Clemons, if the market warrants that level of compensation. I believe Madsen is a restricted free agent and probably the quickest to finalize a deal. Madsen is a keeper.

I have my pick for my come out player of the year for the raiders. Now don’t think I’m crazy but it’s josh shaw, I know his a journeymen dt and hasn’t make the first cut ever, well in his first year he did. I watch him play in the Houston game and he played better with every play he got. I couldn’t wait to see him next week, but the fix to keep him to them self was in. shaw had two tackles in not so many plays and had good push up the middle on passing plays. I just want someone in the press to tell me something went they see josh shaw in mini camp. I think I’m right about this but I have been wrong before. They didn’t have to offer him anything.

Kelly, N.A. and Fargas are signed. As they figured at the end of the season, another might price Clemmons out of the Raider's plans. The Vikings should receive credit for the signing of Berrien. Other than WR, I would like to see the Raiders pursuit another DE and OLB in free agency.

Personally, I would not mind if they re-signed Brayton for DE/DT duties.
