Update: Raiders acquire Aaron Curry for 2 draft picks

Recommended Posts

No official word from the #Seahawks on LB Aaron Curry, but he did say his goodbyes to teammates today, "He came and talked to the linebackers and told us thank you for everything we’ve done for him," said KJ Wright. "Told Coach Norton thank you."

 

Heard he might be headed to the Oakland Raiders. Is Al Davis making moves from the grave?

I feel sorry for whoever gets him he has no instincts he will never make it in this league.

Per Rotoworld.com:

 

Raiders acquired OLB Aaron Curry from the Seahawks in exchange for two undisclosed draft picks, one in 2012 and one in 2013.

They're believed to be mid- to late-round picks. The Raiders haven't scrapped their philosophy of trying to rehabilitate former first-round busts in the post-Al Davis era. Curry, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2009 draft, flamed out in Seattle because he lacked instincts to diagnose run plays and was a zero in pass coverage. Raiders MLB Rolando McClain suffered a potentially serious ankle injury in Week 6, and Curry could be viewed as insurance behind likely replacement starter Darryl Blackstock. Oct 12 - 4:14 PM

Nope. Oakland is a 4-3 mang.

They traded a late 2012 pick, so not too bad depending on their 2013 pick. I'm curious who made the trade though, with Al Davis gone. I doubt it was the Head Coach.

Maybe we have been unjustly attacking Al Davis all these years... Maybe it's that crazy bitch who he had running things. I should have guessed.... She needs to get out of the front office and back in the kitchen where she belongs.

I saw that it's a 7th round pick in 2012 and a 4th or 5th conditional in 2013. I think it's true, but I'm not positive. :shrug:

It could work out. I want to see how he fits into the Raiders defensive schemes first before I say it's a good move. I'm not making the mistake of saying a good move was made like I did when the Patriots signed Ocho. For $6 million a year, he should have learned the offense and should be making Welker's numbers. Ricidulous :nope:

idk, Curry is still really young. Could be a positive move for both teams.

Doubt it i could see him becoming a situational player though he is a good run stopper about the only thing he does well.
