look at the pro bowl linemen who have changed hands in recent years, they have been commanding a 3rd and a 5th for the most part and that represented a RAISE from the old standard. tackles and ends alike.

only jared allen and john abraham commanded more that i can think of and they were both in the prime of their career going to teams looking to contend for real.

oakland overpaid on purpose, they are too cheap to pay another first round pick and they are afraid of the potential chaos of next season. davis can't understand the day to day workings of the NFL anymore, let alone an exceptional situation like that, sad.
