All-Pro guard to protect Darnold. Very nice.

And that's what all the Raider fans are saying online; 'why couldn't we have just fired Cable!?!'

From PFF, June last year
1. Kelechi Osemele, Raiders
At 6-5, 333 pounds, Osemele can dominate at guard or tackle, but it is at guard where he has become arguably the best offensive lineman in the league. Osemele is as dominant a run blocker as there is in the game today, and he also excels in pass protection, as evidenced by the Raiders allowing the fewest sacks in the NFL in 2016. He had a huge breakout season for the Baltimore Ravens in '15, when he was one of the best blockers in the NFL, and parlayed it into a $58.5-million free-agent deal in Oakland two years ago. The Raiders took a step back up front last season, but it was hardly the fault of Osemele, a two-time Pro Bowler, first-team All Pro in ’16 and Super Bowl XLVII champion.

I like this move. I remember wanting the Jets to sign him when he was a free agent.

Never heard of the guy, but wow! Did some Kris Jenkins level shit to some DLs there. Strong dude! Could also make it pretty damn enticing for Bell to come here. He gets to get paid, team up with a young ultra-talented QB like Darnold and run behind arguably the best roadgrading guard in the league.

This is a great move. Two time pro bowler, one of the top LGs in the game for a swap of a 5th for a 6th, and taking on his salary.
Thank you Raiders!
