Raiders void Saffold deal

[jrry32]

@AdamSchefter 2m
Raiders had concerns about Saffold's shoulder; Rams had "no concerns whatsoever" about his shoulder, per agent Alan Herman and Jared Fox

Even better!

Do we still want him after failing a physical?

I mean, yes, we need a guard badly. But we need a healthy one. And unless the Raiders' standards are higher than the Rams'...

Yes. Because I'm sure the Rams are aware of his health because we've been monitoring it while he's here.

Maybe he had a change of heart on the flight, and faked an injury to get back

No $ info yet-Jim Thomas says deal should be done w/in the hour.

 

[jrry32]

I'm wondering if this is an actual failed physical, or just a disagreement in his shoulder condition? Are they the same thing?

Yea. There's no set criteria to passing a physical. Each team's standards will differ.

I think the Brass in Oakland 'failed' him coincidently because they relaised how stupid they are for signing him to that contract.... kinda like hooking up with a girl drunk and the next morning giving the excuse " Mommy wants me to come home beacause she got's my bath water ready" as you realise she is hideous!!!!

Good point. Thanks.

As far as these events go... all I can say is... Buh?

You just can't sign a guy for that much money for him not to have perfect health. Rams knew what his situation was and took it into account when we made an offer, Raiders didn't. Shame for them, good for us. Snead and Demoff probably saw this coming a mile away, freaking evil geniuses.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

THIS IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENNED!!!

Snead and Fisher said, "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice," and now he's stuck with us.

HaHa either way this means I'm going to order my Saffold jersey

Rams deal with Saffold should be done in about an hour to return to Rams after Oakland announces his failed phyaical

Reggie McKenzie was reading here at ROD and had a meltdown, "WTH was I thinking?" You're welcome Reggie.

Let us see what Raiders fans think of all this...Btw it might take time to get on those threads. It seems the fans there are upset.

Roger Saffold Failed Physical

Fire McKenzie

I read that it is a 5 year deal. I'm beyond excited!

just hope we didn't give him anything near what oakland did

 

[ChrisW]

Here we go boys. Let's hope the injury bug stays away from him at guard.

Before this announcement - I was really worried about Rams OL situation. I thought:

We cannot fill all of our postional needs thru this years draft:
1 - 2 starting OG - depending on use of Barrett Jones
1 starting OT - depending on recovery of Jake Long
1 #1 receiver - we don't have one unless Stedman Bailey exceeds all expectations
1 starting FS
1 starting Nickel CB
I would expect to get these types of players in rounds 1-3. We only have 4 picks right now. That leaves us 3 players short and counting on as much as 4 rookie starters. That is why we need to add with Free Agency with 2-3 of above.

Now it seems we can pick 1 OL starter in draft and a backup OL player and save the rest for our many other needs. Amazing what a relief this one situation presents. We still need some FA action to stengthen our roster.

This is awesome.
