Rodney Hudson released?

WTF?
I know we needed defense, but what's the plan moving forward? Kyle Long is taking his flight to KC as we speak...
Looks like it's O line in round one, and something tells me the first 3 will be long gone by the time we're on the clock. It's probably going to be another Kolton Miller type selection, when we're all scratching our heads by the end of it. Luckily, it worked out in our favor, but I'm really concerned now. Carr had his best year due to decent line play, now he may regress behind a shitty front 5.

Just another dumbass move by this dumbass franchise.

I'm reading he asked to be released. I'm still surprised we actually did it, it creates a ton of dead money.

With Hudson's release and the signings of John Brown and Ngakoue, it's looking more and more like we'll be going OL in rd 1.

Should NOT have let Kyle Long leave town without a contract.

REALLY need to re-sign Incognito. He's old, but the technician in him makes up for it. If he can stay on the field. But I'm pretty sure they've fixed him at this point.

I think the Raiders need to seriously revamp their medical staff.

We got a 3rd rounder from AZ in exchange for Hudson. Mayock lands some great players in the 3rd.

AND we re-signed Incognito AND Denzelle Good.

That’s 3 starting o-linemen in place. I think we’ll be getting our RT in the draft, so we need to find a C in FA, and I have no idea who that could be.

Gruden and Mayock both agreed, apparently, that we had way too much money in the OL and not nearly enough in the DL.

With Incognito / Good now in the fold, it gives me a better feeling going into the season. I'm happy Mayock was able to recoupe a 3rd rounder for someone who wanted out. A top 3 center can be had as late at the 3rd round. I've got to read up on the O lineman coming out now, cuz There's no way we don't come away with one within the first 3 rounds.

We landed a starting C from HOU. Zack Martin's brother.
