It's been a long time since we've been ranked so high and it makes me giddy just seeing it. Another positive, we're the highest ranked AFC West team. Chiefs are 14th, Chargers are 16th, and the Broncos are bringing up the rear in 29th.

Schefter reports that our former Center was worked out today. Would be good depth so that if Satele gets injured again we can keep Veldheer at LT. If we end up signing him I wonder how Miami would feel; seems like a Patriot type of trade.

I can't find a video of it, but this is a transcript for any of you that missed it last night. It seems like the NFL is just waiting for the Raiders and Chiefs to be back at the top of the AFC.

Per Jerry McDonald the Raiders have made four cuts before Wednesdays deadline of a cut down to 75. The cuts: Tony Stewart (TE), Chane Moline (FB), Allen Smith (OL), and Paul Hubbard (WR).

They're the reason why they didn't show the last Raider game live in my area (L.A.). I'm so angry! It's probably because they're gearing up for a move to L.A. and are trying to cleanse the market of all that is Raiders.

Gary Peterson has a pretty funny write up on how he thinks the Raiders $9.55 million grievance against Russel will go down.

Groves claims he's a Raider on his twitter account. Groves, a DE, was a second round draft pick by the Jaguars in 2008.

So much for putting in the work he's supposed to.Although it was the weekend JR shouldn't be allowed to have the extra time to go to Vegas or slack off anymore. He also looks about 290 in the picture.

Willie Brown on Chronicle Live reports that JR has been getting fit and watching his diet. He doesn't say how much JR has lost or what he has done, just that we will see a big difference from what we saw last year.

It starts at about the 4-minute mark.

Gerard Warren is release per David White, Jerry Mac, and Schefter's twitter. This leaves only Kelly and Bryant as the only DTs currently on the roster; Joseph is a UFA.

Apparently Hanson has made his first public comments on the incident that took place during training camp. If everything he said is true then it doesn't look good for Cable.

Jerry NcDonald is reporting that Gallery has Broken his Left Fibula. There is no word on how long the injury will take to heal yet.

Raiderbeat.com reports that the NFLPA has filed a grievance on behalf of Seymour saying that the Raiders had no right to send the five day letter because they did not hold the rights to Seymour; based on the fact that Seymour had not reported and that he had not taken a physical. If the NFLPA wins then the deal would most likely be voided.

They got this story from the Boston Globe and they posted the entire article.

According to the Boston Herald Seymour has received the Five-Day-Letter;it was apparently hand delivered to him on Thursday.
