I wanted to touch base with my awesome Raiders community and weigh in on a few things that have happened thus far this offseason. Although we've been relatively quiet, there are a few things worth mentioning.

He may not score touchdowns, but the energy and fire he gives not only his teammates but the fans as well is worth the roster bonus he was owed. My Edmonton Oilers got rid of their heart and soul when they traded Ryan Smyth for a bag of pucks over a silly contract squabble. How did that work out for us?
