Passing success rate scales up linearly with target share for elite TEs. However there is a negative correlation for No.1 WRs as target shares get higher. Elite TEs also open up the run game.
A draft related conversation I had with @Raiders Al [Davis]:
Me: since we drafted @81TimBrown in the first draft after I joined the team full time, it's like we were in the same draft class;
Al: Tim was a first round pick, you were a street free agent.
This OT class might be sneaky elite

Do with this as you please
#Raiders are paying Kirk $11.3M, but structured it so A) Falcons pay their share of $8.3M, B) Kirk takes home ~$20M & C) $10M of it hits #Raiders cap next year.
It's exactly how you do this structure correctly.
I caddied for Raiders legend Phil Villapiano 20 years ago
I hit him with non-stop questions all day about how to make it to the NFL
Few years later I’d play the same position for the same team @raiders
Couple decades later, I'd get to play him in a movie

The one move the #Raiders made that has left me scratching my head is kicker Matt Gay. They replaced Daniel Carleson with the closest thing they could find to...Daniel Carlson. Change for sale of change.
Can someone tell me why the fifth stripe is smaller in some places and not others? These are sweet otherwise, but that detail bothers me. What say you @UniWatch
@_Murf True, but I would add that the buyer's remorse likely caused them to look at that long-term prognosis differently. Trey Hendrickson was cheaper than they thought, Raiders poached their center, etc.
