Raiders cut ties with QB Brooks
Quote:
ALAMEDA, Calif. (Feb. 22, 2007) -- The Oakland Raiders cut ties with Aaron Brooks, declining to pick up the option on the quarterback's contract after one difficult season.
Brooks, who would have been due a multi-million-dollar roster bonus if he had stayed on the roster, failed to win any of his eight starts with the Raiders. The QB, who signed with Oakland after six seasons with the New Orleans Saints, will now look to join his third team in as many years.

Looks like the Raiders are clearing the way for a QB to go #1.

Yeah, Oakland really doesn't know what to do and getting rid of dead weight is a good start

You might as easily come to the conclusion that they are clearing the way for another veteran QB.

Oh yes. If they do sign Bledsoe they better take Thomas #1 overall.

nah I actually wanted Brooks. I had been hoping all offseason Brooks would get cut and we'd sign him....didnt work out like i hoped...Drew Bledsoe? Id just be pissed. Not a chance. If were getting a vet QB im thinking either Huard or Schaub.

It's simply to clear salary cap room. And it gives a chance to see if Andrew Walter is their "franchise" QB.

Btw, I could definitely see Aaron Brooks ending up as the backup to his cousin in Atlanta if Schaub is shipped out.

Another reason why the Raiders will draft JaMarcus. Keep dreaming RaiderNation, they're clearly not drafting CJ.
