Las Vegas Raiders General Thread

[Freethinker]

Interesting article regarding draft pick Tommy Mellott, who was cut and then not added to the practice squad. It appears GM John Spytek isn't too happy about that, and also about the decision to sign washed up Amari Cooper. Looks like Plantation Pete is calling a lot of the shots in Vegas.
