I see it written, and hear it spoken; “Rolando McClain doesn’t fit with what Reggie McKenzie and the new regime is doing in Oakland.” That’s an incomplete or just plain ignorant comment, simply because Rolando McClain doesn’t fit into the Oakland Raiders of any era.

The Oakland Raiders hosted their very first organized team activities (OTA’s) that had both veterans and rookies on the field on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday also marked the first day that the media was allowed to watch more than 30 minutes of stretching. From all reports from media personnel watching the practice, it was an [...]
The Oakland Raiders had their rookie mini-camp over the weekend. Per the new CBA, teams are allowed to also bring in select veterans and invite free agents to come in and try out as well.

The Oakland Raiders did not have the luxury of a first round pick in the 2012 draft. Heck, they didn’t have a second rounder either. As a matter of fact, the team did not have a pick until the very end of the 3rd round. They had a pick in each of the final 5 [...]

A day after it was announced that the Oakland Raiders had fired their Director of College Scouting John Kindon, there is a report that the team has hired his replacement. Adam Schefter, who first reported Kindon’s firing, was also first to report that the Raiders had hired away one of Green Bay’s top scouts in [...]
The Oakland Raiders have announced through their website that Matt Leinart has signed with the club. The Heisman Trophy winner will join Carson Palmer (also a Heisman Trophy winner) in a role that he is very familiar with as Pamler’s back up. Adam Schefter had announced last week that Leinart’s signing was imminent, and was [...]
According to the NFL Network, and as is posted on the NFL.com website, the Oakland Raiders have fired John Kingdon. This is yet another sign that Reggie McKenzie wants his own people in every key area of the organization. Longevity (Kindon had put in 33 years of service) and how well you may have done [...]
