Default Raiders complete deal with Darren McFadden

Thoughts from the Dark Side | MVN - an Oakland Raiders independent media site » Blog Archive » Oakland Raiders complete deal Darren McFadden: Rookie contracts outrageous

The SF Chronicle is reporting that the Oakland Raiders have come to terms with first round draft pick Darren McFadden on a deal that is going to make him a boat load of money over the next six years. This is a refreshing turn of events after last year’s protracted and often contentious holdout from JaMarcus Russell.

This is great to hear. Now get Asomugha signed along with some of the other draft picks and we are set to go and kill denver week one.

Aso is the one signing left that concerns me. Now that McFadden's deal is done, here is hoping that Nnamdi gets his.

Asomugha will most likely get a long term deal done.

I'm glad to see that the deal is done and I agree with everyone the most important signing is Asomugha. A whole bunch of people will probably say that McFadden got too much money. I saw the comparison to Gaines Adams??? Ok they were both in the 4th postiion but they play different positions. RB vs DE... I'll leave it there!

I think most all rookies get too much money for never playing a pro down. I am glad they got the deal done though, but I think it took them so long to do Russells deal was because they didnt want him to have much playing time his first year so they took their time. The Aso contract is starting to make me a little twichy.

Acutally, I'm glad that Al and Jerry Jones are pushing the envelope. They are making sure that the issue of rookies getting huge salaries is up front. The plan seems to be to expose it so that it is corrected during this round of barganing.
