Raiders Waive Veteran RB Michael Bennett, Sign Giordano
According to the SFGate.com, the Oakland Raiders released Michael Bennett on Monday. The move created space for the team to add former Cal safety Matt Giordano to their roster, who will surely have a far greater impact in 2011-12 than Bennett would have had. At worst, Giordano would provide the Raiders with depth at safety and special teams. In seven games last season, Bennett...

Raiders Re-Sign RB Michael Bennett To A 1-Year, $890,000 Contract
Mac's Football Blog reports that the Oakland Raiders have re-signed running back Michael Bennett to a one-year contract worth $890,000. This seems like a curious move as Bennett is 33-years old, received just two carries in seven appearances last season, and dating back to 2006 is averaging 3.54 yards per attempt. It would probably be in Oakland's best interest to move on, but perhaps...

Somewhat surprisingly, LB Rolando McClain is active, as is CB Nnamdi Asomugha. Tim Tebow's day likely just got a little bit longer.

It was an interesting view, one that lacked a bit of knowledge. It seems that Jim-Bob and Billy-Bob, both ranking hicks of Dallas fame had plenty to talk about the Cowboys, but seemed to enjoy the fact that the Raiders...
