8-16-2007 - WR William Buchannon cut
8-1-2007 - QB Dante Culpepper signs with Raiders.
5-9-2007 - Fired senior personnel executive Michael Lombardi
Lane Kiffin, Oaklands new Head coach, became the 16the head coach of the Raider franchise Jan 23,2007 and at age of 31 the youngest coach in the NFL. This will be his first coaching experience in the NFL. His last coaching position was OC for USC.
FA QB Josh Booty was acquired March 21, 2007 and currently slated as backup to Andrew Walter. Aaron Brooks option was not taken in February so look for Oakland to pursue more depth at QB even at the risk of passing up WR Calvin Johnson in the draft.
RB LaMont Jordan (knee) reportedly is participating in offseason conditioning program.
