The Raiders reached agreement Friday evening with Atlanta 's free-agent fullback Justin Griffith on a three-year, $3.8 million contract, completing a whirlwind day of activity in Oakland. The deal is contingent upon Griffith passing his physical.

Another one bites the dust.

Cheaper than I would have thought.

3y/$3.8M and we couldn't get the dude? It would be interesting to see what the Packers offered. I'm getting really worried.

Which makes it that much worse....

WTF? I thought we were close to signing this guy and the next second Granny has the fucker under contract! Who do we have that can play FB at this time? Only Miree if I remember correctly. Well....I'm sure Luchey or whoever that fat fuck was is still out there waiting for a call.

When Ovie Mughelli signed for 3 mil a year I figured this kid had his market set at about 2 mil a year.

And far better than Terdell.

whoa look at that deal. thats insane

i'm sure glad we didn't piss away all that money to get a starting FB which we need

that would have ment we couldn't draft any players this year. and clearly would have ruined our cap for years to come

Yes, we're going to have plenty of roster spots open come draft day. If this deal is accurate the clones saying everybody is grossly overpaid surely cannot say that about this deal.

Before we all count to three and jump at the same time..... let's actually hold on til we find out how much Thompson offerred the guy. Every time a player goes somewhere else it's not because the money was better. Usually but not always. Vinatieri went to Indy because he wanted to win, not because the Packers didn't make a high offer. Let's just wait and see what comes out here. Mabye the Packers made a nice pitch but Griffith decided that he'd rather play in Oakland if the money is close?

so, you're saying he went to oakland because he wants to win?
