I'm torn on this, He wasn't what he was supposed to be but at the same time ANYONE would have got beat the past 2 years, first being opposite of Bailey you get more balls your way and second our d-line gets absolutely zero pressure forcing him to have to hold longer, impossible for almost anyone.
So this move I am a little mixed feelings on.

The Oakland Raiders will soon be parting ways with one of the only wideouts on the roster with any significant experience.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Raiders are expected to release receiver Ronald Curry.
Per NFLPA records, Curry was signed through 2011, at a base salary of $3.5 million this year. Per Schefter, the net cap savings will be $2.3 million.
Schefter also points out that the Raiders will save $7.2 million in cap space if they dump tackle Kwame Harris.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to apply the franchise tag to receiver Antonio Bryant by Thursday’s 4:00 p.m. EST deadline.
Our guess is that he’ll promptly sign the one-year offer of $9.488 million, which will make the money fully guaranteed.

Chargers franchise Sproles

The Chargers took a major step to resolve their running back issues. They designated Darren Sproles as their franchise player, which will limit his free-agent options but guarantee him $6.621 million for the 2009 season.
Most believed the Chargers couldn’t afford to pay both Sproles and starting RB LaDainian Tomlinson. But the Chargers made sure they could.

Yet another franchise tag was handed down Wednesday night.
After contract talks failed to produce a deal, the St. Louis Rams designated safety Oshiomogho Atogwe as their franchise player. The safety franchise number for Atogwe is $6.342 million.
It makes sense for St. Louis and its new head coach, Steve Spagnuolo, because Atogwe would have been the top free-agent safety, and the draft is considered thin at that position.
The Rams had hoped to strike a long-term deal with Atogwe, but when they couldn’t, the franchise tag became a viable option. The two sides can continue working to a long-term deal, but Atogwe is going nowhere now.
FUCK!

The Houston Texans have joined the game of tag, becoming the eleventh team to use the franchise designation on one of their impending free agents.
According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle and Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Texans have applied the tag to cornerback Dunta Robinson.
The move makes Robinson eligible for a one-year contract, with a salary of $9.957 million. If he accepts the tender, the salary is fully guaranteed.
