jetscrazey Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 He's coming off torn labrum surgery and had a cap number of close to $7 million. Would have gone on the PUP list probably. Apparently the Raiders had a servicable backup who could step in for less. He's a serviceable guy when healthy but hasn't developed into the beast we thought he could be back in 2013-4.

When he wasn't injured last season, serviceable would be a strong word to use to describe his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raiders cut him now , so it's easier for him to find a team to play with for next year. Four fifths of the offense line is settled.( Donald penn holding out ) only position that is up for grabs is RT. A lot of players are competing for that job. 1. Marshall Newhouse 2. Vadal Alexander- five starts last year 3 . David Sharpe( 4th round) 4Jylan Ware( 7th rounder) 5 Denver Kirkland . Playing RT for the Raiders is easier than anywhere else as they have pure Blocking Te Lee Smith who just like having another RT to help them out.

Funny how we cut Harris a couple months ago and people around here lost their minds that we wasnt cut earlier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The Jets have a potential long term solution at RT. This team has no room for old guys that won't be here 2 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one was signing him till they can check out his health.( pass a physical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how they're not the same situations at all. Harris was healthy and it's not like we have the ILB depth that Oakland has on their OL. Howard had offseason surgery; his situation was far closer to Decker's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH1962 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I never thought Howard was that good to begin with and this was one of the player losses that I was never too broken up about...Sorry to hear about his injury though, tough break. Hope he can catch on somewhere (not here) either this season or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
