The wildest, most dramatic Oakland Raiders off-season ever could get yet stranger. That, according to fans from Raiderfans.net who tell of sports talk radio claims that the Law is in town. The law already helped escort Randy Moss and family to team facilities, as part of an impressive welcome procession featuring six of California's finest as escort. These sidearm six-shooters usher in the five time all Pro and ninth overall all-time touchdown scorer, giving way to the return of the vertical game. An astonishing arrival, indeed.
There's another Law in town, if you believe the rumors. The former New England Patriot, Ty Law. Law shares the same agents with Raiders corner Charles Woodson, the infamous Poston brothers. Law looks to make an impact with another team, turn a new Championship page on his terms, to punctuate a premiere pro career with Pride and Poise. Coming off injury and absence from a championship team, he looks to put his best foot forward and make a new case for great play as possibly the newest member of the Silver and Black.
So says a roughneck Raiders fan who overheard exchanges on 740 AM "The Team" in Orlando. Hearsay and hype become dynamite when Al Davis blows up trades in earthshaking deals. So it starts, a whisper here and there turns into a Silver and Black jailbreak. Being called for the Commitment to Excellence is a dream for many, but a reality for few.
The same holds so for an AFC offer to move LaMont Jordan and his explosive game into a starring role. His fine tuning former years for another perennial playoff conference foe finds him a feature for newly equipped flight. He can taxi the takeoff, learning from the great Curtis Martin all the details of pass protection and selling the play pass ticket. His big play power as a runner is something a Norv Turner ground attack makes money on. LaMont's in for the long haul for game plans and contracts, five years worth according ESPN analyst John Clayton.
Randy Moss heard this, and went along with the plan. LaMont Jordan jets in to become the big play running man. Could the Law have the last say on who has the best off-season ever in free agency?
Well the fans on Raiderfans.net always have their say, and these highlights are the heart of the matter:
Law is a proven warrior... prolly (sic) the best [corner] in the league... even after the injury... I would love to see him sign a cap friendly contract... but don't see him signing if Woodson is still here... - Raiderpride101
I just read that TY was headed west... Meaning Oakland and Woody Paige said he will be a Raider yesterday. (Scout.com) -Raiderz 00
I would cry myself to sleep with happy tears if that happened. But unless they have a genius cap guy, I don't think it's possible. That's like...wow. You just woke the Joker up... - ~ TheJoker~
Well, Joker, it could very well happen. "Tell me something my friend. You ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight?" Yes, villains have their place in Raiders mythology. In this case the notorious agents of both players play part. Leave it to fans of 'The Dark Side' to see this as opportunity:
The Raiders are the popular free agent destination now. C. Wood and Law are tight, and it looks like C. Wood is here to stay for at least one more year. Why not? -MuleBeater
With Mr. Davis building the team based on when it they were in the glory days, vertical passing game, one RB to carry the load, I wouldn't be surprised with he tried to do the same thing on the defensive side of the ball... Remember this tandem: Hayes & Haynes -BK
It actually makes too much sense. Get the best players possible together, defy salary cap logic, and make two of the biggest pay-to-play agents work with an organization in their player's interest. Only Al Davis could make this happen.
The team of Administrator Amy Trask, working with Personnel Football Administration director Mike Lombardi, has made miracles of salary cap scientology before. Together their efforts have made movie-length moments worthy of awards. Others were recognized in these efforts more so, but this time these two sports business minds will win off-season accolades in their own right.
This whole scenario seems similar to a Star Wars revelation to role-play Raiders Jedi fans; the great sports mind rivals are actually competitive family. Al Davis shows the dark side has winning traits and bloodlines in each party involved. The best take on how this is one that sums up the philosophy of the organization in the person of its majority owner:
I love all the Raiderfans.net Capologists, haven't you figured out yet? Al does whatever he wants cap or not....how many times do you have to hear the Raiders are 15 (million) over the cap then see everyone restructure to accept this. If Al wants Ty Law, we will find a way to get him... -Mr.Blonde
Great alma mater shutdown mavericks, who share the same agents, merge matters with the most competitive front office in professional sports. Only the Oakland Raiders obtain order over chaos in the NFL off-season universe.
