THROAT-SLASHER MIGHT BE A RAIDER

In 2005, Rams exec Samir Suleiman made news in a most unwanted way. Angered by comments attributed to an unnamed source in a column written by Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Suleiman left a voice message for Miklasz, inviting him to tell his source, “I’m a f–king throat-slasher.” (Kellen Winslow still prefers his version.)

Suleiman’s name is back in the news, but not because he has made any new threats. Instead, he’s receiving serious consideration for a job with the Raiders, who are looking for a capologist and contract negotiator.

“It’s a great organization, so anybody would be lucky to work for them,” Suleiman told David White of the San Francisco Chronicle. “And, black is my favorite color.”

Suleiman, if hired, would take the lead in negotiating the contract of running back Darren McFadden, the No. 4 overall pick in the draft. Suleiman also would be charged with getting the Raiders’ salary cap in order.

According to White, the Raiders dumped running back Dominic Rhodes earlier this week because the draft-day trade of cornerback Fabian Washington nearly put them over the per-team $116 million spending limit.

Wow, where was I? I don't remember that about Samir Suleiman in 2005.

“It’s a great organization, so anybody would be lucky to work for them,”

I think the luckiest party, should this fool land a job with the Raiders, would be the Rams. This guy's presence with the Rams just reinforces what a disfunctional organization (and I use that term very loosely) this has been for as long as recent memory serves.

Salary cap specialist my ass.

Good riddance!

I think it's rather amusing that Davis is looking at hiring a cap specialist only after splurging on high priced free agents all off-season. It's kind of like picking up a Ferrari on the way to talk to a debt counselor.
