Carolina Aquires Louis Murphy From Raiders

Panthers acquired WR Louis Murphy from the Raiders. The Raiders' compensation is likely a late-round pick. The trade comes three weeks after the Contra Costa Times reported Murphy was in a "fight" for his roster spot, and greatly increases undrafted rookie Rod Streater's chances of cracking Oakland's 53-man roster. The move could be interpreted as a lack of faith from Carolina in Brandon LaFell and David Gettis, but the reality is Murphy is little more than a depth acquisition for one of the league's thinner receiver corps. He'll have an inside track on a roster spot, but will have to stay healthy, something that has proven challenging for him his first three years in the league.

what happened to him?...he was suppose to be good for the raiders...that one cat schlienz or something too

damn it's a sad day when you're picking up the raiders trash.


carolina lost

dude fell down the depth chart when DHB and Moore came into their own, and then we got Jacoby Ford, and this new cat named Juron Criner. Raiders are stacked with young WR talent, so Louis is the odd man out.

What did we get Raiders fans? Something that we can look forward to? Or another !! up that's gonna be out the league soon?

he can play when he's healthy, and maybe playing with Cam Newton will revitalize his career [pic]

God damn we got a lot of mediocre talent filling the 4-6 spots on WR depth chart [pic]

Smith
Lafell
Gettis

Those guys are the only 3 that I consider solid contributors

Joe Adams strictly based on the fact that he'll be a beast return man with the potential to turn into a pretty good receiver.

Edwards(done probably)
pilhares
Arijotutu
Murphy

If this dude can stay healthy and catch the ball he already has a leg up on Edwards and pilhares [pic]
