Maybe the busiest, or most improved team so far, pre draft? (Still have picks number 5, 38, 61 etc this Saturday)
Check out this list of recent new free agent signings! Several with multiple pro bowls, several with Super Bowl experience, lots of high skill high level players. Pretty fun to watch all of this unfold!

3/12/2014 Austin Howard T signed/unrestricted free agent to a Five-year contract (through 2018) VERY GOOD O LINEMAN
A very different Raiders team takes the field in 2014, should be fun to watch. They will, at a MINIMUM, be competitive in every game and at least seriously threaten for a playoff spot. You read it here, first.

Many of the played with no notes after thier name, are still very good, starting players for thier former teams. I am really happy to see Pat Sims coming back (for less money). A great, young run stuffer DT who can push the pocket back in passing situations, even if he does not personally get the sack.

I'm much more interested in their salary cap, any ideas?
A few over the hill players and sloppy seconds doesn't exactly make a franchise quarterback; let alone a team.

Other than Charles Woodson, these are all guys in thier prime playing years. And, first tier, starting players in most cases. And C Wood played great last year, can still put on a show when needed. Still good salary cap room, more than enough to sign the rookies coming in next week. Raiders are making a run at De Seaun Jackson. Don't be shocked to see that signing happen soon. Pairing him up with James Jones and the good WR players they already have would be fun to see, as well.

I didn't claim a super bowl appearance in one year, just respecatbility and competetitive games and run.

Just giving you a hard time.
And you're jumping the gun on DJax, he's going to sign with the Redskins once his pay is ironed out. Have you even seen the Raiders schedule for 2014??
Home: Denver, Kansas City, San Diego, Buffalo, Miami, Arizona, San Francisco, Houston
AWAY: Denver, Kansas City, San Diego, New England, NY Jets, St. Louis, Seattle, Cleveland
Now how many of those games do you think they have a real shot at winning? I don't see them having a winning season this year, nevermind making the playoffs.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

They have a real shot at winning any of them and certainly most of them with the new ammunition now in place, and soon to come. The LA Rams were 4-12 the year before they won the super bowl, with a cast off middle aged quarterback from the Arena Football League. Not claiming a SB appearance, just that they are much improved and will be comptetitive. This, they will be and maybe more.

Hah! Mark, you are definitely a glass half full kinda guy!
The Hawks and Broncos are gonna whup 'em.
I'd go out on a limb and say the Raaaiiiders end up with a 6-10 season and a lucrative deal with Geritol and Ben Gay.

Raiders go 4-12 and that's being generous.

I predict their coach gets axed by the end of the season too. Last place in the AFC West is a guarantee.

First or, at worst second in their division. Plus, make noise in the playoffs.
If they are NOT in contention with this lineup, then I have to agree RE fire the coaches and bring back Gruden. He would love to get a shot with the talent base incoming. But, I think Allen and CO. have a good plan and base going, just have not had the horses to make it work. Time will tell.
But back to my original question or point. You have to give em props for most improved so far, as far as talent pool goes.

Still good salary cap room, more than enough to sign the rookies coming in next week. How does one sign a rookie a month before the draft?

Most improved in FA? Sorry but Denver, Tampa and New England had the best FA signings this go round.
Good luck with your team, I've a feeling luck won't be enough though.
