The Raiders = Bengals West

AJ McCarron
Brandon LaFell
Leon Hall
Reggie Nelson
Emmanuel Lamur
Frostee Rucker
Mike Nugent

13% of their 53 man roster is former Bengals. Full disclosure: I didn't even know Frostee was still playing.

I didn't know Nugent was, either! 

Leon Hall?  Isn't he like 137 years old?

The Raiders were getting a TON of media attention from their one good year with Carr, but they are going to take a while to be good.  I like Gruden, but really question the decision (I understand the financials) of letting Mack go.  What message does that send?  And he is one of the best 5 defensive players in the league and stays healthy.  

I was kind of rooting for them because I like Gruden and Carr, but I think they will struggle in their division.
