Wishful Thinking

Jason Pierre-Paul: Justin Tuck and Pierre-Paul together again…*sigh* isn’t it dreamy!? Settle down, Raiders Nation. The New York Giants won’t let their best pass rusher leave via free agency. He’ll be franchised if they can’t come up with a deal. Pierre-Paul is only 25 and could come in and play with his former mentor and fellow Super Bowl teammate in Oakland. He would give the rest of the AFC West trouble for the next few years.

Realistic Target 

B.J. Raji: McKenzie loves going back into the Green Bay Packers dumpster to find gems, and Raji would be another one of those type of players. Raji, who is injured for the 2014 season, would be a quality player to bring in for depth. It’s crazy to think that Raji would be just a depth guy, but if he can’t stay healthy enough to play, then his value goes down. McKenzie already tried to sign Raji this year, but he opted to go back to Green Bay on a one-year prove-it deal.
