MNF: Raiders vs Lions

I agree to some extent. I like AA and thought we bailed too soon on him. I really like Ellis too. Both young and at a position of need for both depth and future. We would be a better defense with Ceedy for sure but we couldn't afford him so I was actually happy with the trade. Would have been happier if we managed the cap better. TRex was easy to see coming. I was a huge fan of Onyemata but he was much better juiced up.

Throw in Vonn Bell and Davenport and we walked young guys good enough to field a top 15 defense outside of a couple of corners while being the oldest team in the league. As cruel as it sounds, thankfully Davenport got hurt because if he was able to stay healthy after leaving here we would have all stroked.

We seem to be on the same page regarding the players we let go. Davenport was supposed to be a more versatile Hendrickson and to be fair to him he was but he just couldn’t stay healthy until his final season where the production fell off. Ceedy priced and talked himself out of the building and Philly let him walk after what I thought was a great season so he’s clearly rubbing people the wrong way. I think they make other moves to keep those two specifically if things went another way. Honestly the only real strange one for me is Onyemata but that’s probably just the salary cap then.
