I've seen teams lose picks (the Lions for one) for a hell of a lot less than this....

"I got a cell phone just like you and everybody else. I get a lot of phone calls from people that are dying to come play here. I'm just telling you. They're dying to play for the Raiders," he said.

"And to have salary cap space and to have a chance to talk to the people that you really want to wear the Silver and Black, the guys you really want to wear the Silver and Black and represent this team, that's exciting."

He never said if they were current NFL players dying to play there.
 
Maybe instead of worrying about future players try and win some games. 10m a year, lol.
 
Remember when Gruden, just recently, said "it's hard to find good pass rushers." He had one in Mack and traded him away. I always thought he was overrated the first time around and now, lol. I always looked at Gruden like Barry Switzer, winning a title on someone else's work.
