The Raiders just can’t seem to find rock bottom. Every time it seems like they might finally be turning a corner, they figure out a ...
Bad. Ugly. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Pick any negative term you want to describe the performance of the Oakland Raiders Sunday, and you'll be right. There's really no other way to describe how they played in a 52-0 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
A team almost has to try to play this poorly for four quarters. There isn't a single thing in this game that went well for Oakland.
There's not one positive.
The Raiders were coming off the high of finally getting their first win of the season. With that performance to build on, plus extra days to prepare, this looked like ...
After finally picking up their first win of the season, the Oakland Raiders will be looking to build on that momentum Sunday as they visit the St. Louis Rams. The Raiders have played better than their record indicates, and they have a real chance to win a second consecutive game as they take on a very beatable St. Louis team.
Oakland's rushing attack finally showed up last week. It proved to be the key to the team's win, and it'll be the key again today. Unfortunately, Oakland will have to figure out a way to make this happen without the help ...

This could also mean the end for Rogers in a Raiders uniform. He signed a one-year contract with Oakland in the offseason after spending the previous three years across the bay in San Francisco. The 33-year-old hasn't played since October 26 against Cleveland, recording 35 tackles and one forced ...

The central question here is not whether general manager Billy Beane got a fair return in the trade, but why the American League West club would trade Donaldson at all.
The third baseman is affordably priced and ridiculously productive.
MLBTradeRumors.com projects that the 28-year-old will make $4.5 million via arbitration in 2015, and he can't ...
When the Oakland Raiders step on the field this Sunday, they're going to have a chance to do something they haven't done all season: go on a winning a streak. The team is coming off a thrilling win in which it performed well in all three phases of the game. The question now is whether Oakland can repeat that type of performance this week against the St. Louis Rams.

There are some fantastic free agents on the market this offseason, but the chances of the Oakland A's being major players for any of them are pretty slim.
The signing of Billy Butler may be the biggest signing for Oakland over the winter.
Of course, there's always the option of making a big trade. But for this discussion, we'll take a look at free agents who have been speculated as possible candidates or linked to Oakland.
