they give up doug jolley their te to the jets for the jets first round draft pick.

i think this is a good trade for both honestly, jets get a proven player with some potential still, while the raiders get back into the first and can rely on teyo johnson who i belive can be a big (literally) threat at te.

I don't know much about jolley... I know that the jets were looking for a good TE so i guess this is it.

Idk but for some reason, I'm wanting the Raiders to do bad next season. I know it's pretty mean, but I just that if they have a better season than the Vikes, the media will slam us for trading him. About the trade, it looks like the Raiders are getting really serious about this season, seems like they might be trying to make a run within the next couple years.

well making a run is one thing.

doing it with only offense is another.

that defense has so many question marks its not even funny.

I guess they figured that Heath Miller would be gone by the 26th pick. The Skins might nab him with their newly aquired 25th pick.

WTF are the Jets thinking he is not worth a 1st rounder!

I dont think you value a "decent" TE enough for a first.

**happy camper** · 04-21-2005, 03:50 AM

i beleive the raiders could do ok next year even with the crap defense.

at first, the offense will be all "shoch and awe" on everybody.. but eventually it'll level off.

Jolley is NOT worth a first rounder.

On a side note it looks like the Raiders are doing a wholesale on their players, looks like someone is rebuilding.
