TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Roy signed a 2 yr contract with the Raiders. This move should get him closer to home, and also some playing time with McFadden leaving. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2015/03/10/report-roy-helu-jr-signs-two-year-deal-with-raiders/ 1 Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Zombie Al Davis still runs the team from a secret room high up in the press box. ROY IS DOOMED!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Helu earned a suprising amount of attention and respect as an oft-injured third string running back. He earned a shot at a better situation and contract. Nobody is entrenched in Oakland. They tend to platoon RBs anyway. I think he'll see more action there. Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Glad to see him get out of Washington. Quote Link to comment

He earned a shot at a better situation and contract. Nobody is entrenched in Oakland. They tend to platoon RBs anyway. I think he'll see more action there. Good elusiveness, good in the receiving game, and dirt cheap contract. I'm disappointed the Patriots didn't get him at 2 years, $4M, especially after losing Vereen. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Like to see him as a feature back. Let everyone see what he can produce with multiple opportunities. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I love Helu but I wish he hadn't signed with the Raiders. More playing time is great but the Raiders were dead last in rushing last year so I'm worried he won't have the line in front of him to show what he's truly capable of. Hopefully they'll upgrade that line otherwise at least it's only a 2 year contract. With the right team Helu could be a total stud. Who know's maybe the Raiders are that team. I'm hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment
Detasselingthehuskers Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was hoping he would go to the Giants. Seems like a good fit. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Probably a good place for him. He should thrive on all the check down throws he receives from Carr. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Darren McFadden just left the Raiders for Dallas. Helu is gonna get his snaps. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Taking Gordon at 4 with Gregory sitting there is a total Raiders move. Quote Link to comment
Army_Allen Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Taking Gordon at 4 with Gregory sitting there is a total Raiders move. Gordon doesn't run a 4.2 40 so there's no chance. 1 Quote Link to comment
