Patterson to Raiders

[TNnative]

per twitter 14 minutes ago. Cordarrelle Patterson is now an Oakland Raider. Or Las Vegas? I can't keep up.

Hmm could be good for him


At least I hope so

Me too. Was just browsing twitter. Seems to be several moves happening tonight.

Edit: Haven't seen anything on other ex-Vols tonight. Bears signed a Pittsburgh WR and a Atlanta OL. Packers released TJ Lang. Seems the pre-draft moves are heating up.

Historically, the Raiders seem to love VFLs.

No doubt. Those late 80s early 90s teams had a few Vols.

Oakland Raiders | Administrative Staff

Check the number of familiar former Vols names listed under player personnel. Even the late Mickey Marvin is still listed with them. Maybe that is why.

I wish the Titans could've gotten him. Mariota needs a couple more true play maker to get the ball into the hands of.

Cliff Branch is starting to slow down.. nice pick up

Should fit in well with that offense.

Not to be that guy or anything, but he has yet to prove he can learn a playbook IMHO. So, I'm gonna say no to the thought of the Titans trying to get him.

Yes!!!! :rock:

It looks more like he's being brought in more for kickoff and punt returns.

Yeah, nobody really looking to sign a WR for his lack of basic playbook comprehension.

All the way through high school, that probably got him by, but college and up is a different beast entirely.

Didn't seem to hurt him in college too much either.

Look, I get the argument regarding the playbook. But CP is a talent that comes along once a generation. For players like that, as a coach it's YOUR job to tailor the offense in such a way that you can get him the ball. When CP was here, I had not seen anyone that electric with the ball in his hands since Rocket Ismail.

Dave Casper should get more catches with this addition

LOL! And hopefully Jim Otto will block better and Phil Villapiano will make more tackles on defense!

CP will do well with the Raiders, Carr is going to love this guy.

Since Reggie is a VFL he likes to give VOLS a chance. He did when he was the Director of Player Personnel at Green Bay, and is continuing to do so as GM of the Raiders.

 

[goldvol]

awesome! Derek Carr looked pretty good when he was healthy. They've got good young receivers, too. They are a young competitive team. Should be a great opportunity for him to succeed. Wish him all the best.

Ok. I'll play. I worry about Jack Tatum lighting him up across the middle.
