    Hey, anybody who kicks Jeramy Stevens in the nuts is fine by me!

    Seriously though, since Oakland is where good players go to die, you never know...he could be one of those guys that just needs a change of scenery and scheme.

    I think I really like this guy.....

    "On November 6, 2006 in a game against the Seattle Seahawks, Brayton kneed the groin of Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, after Stevens kneed him and was ejected from the game. Brayton was later fined $25,000 by the NFL [2]. Stevens was fined $15,000. This incident led to Brayton's nickname of "Nut Cracker".

    During the course of the Raiders' 9 game losing streak to end the 2006 season, Brayton and several other Raiders, including Warren Sapp, criticized the lackadaisical effort of WR Randy Moss. In a post game incident, Brayton confronted Moss, citing several instances where Moss could have kept the team in the game. Moss responded with "I play when I want to" and "Randy Moss don't go over the middle". Brayton proceeded to tackle Moss, knocking both of them over the trainer's table, and re-injuring Moss' lower back. The two were separated before they could come to blows."

    He and Smitty should make a good team...

    Seems to me brayton is something of a poor man's justin smith- both high motor guys, both white (that was for you, Mags), and neither is the great athlete/super talented type.

    only difference is he's also a really shitty pass rusher

    edit- maybe he could be a versatile backup, but we've generally carried 3 ends, and I don't see him being good enough.

    Have y'all heard he got ejected for kneeing Jeremy Stevens in the groin? Maybe there is a youtube.

    If there is, it's worth hunting down. He literally lifts Stevens off the ground with his nuts on his knees. It's no token shot, very deliberate.

    Who was the guy we got from the Jets last camp? when he got cut everyone was unhappy because we lost a veteran end who was decent against the run? If we sign Brayton I have a feeling he'll be this years that guy.

    and maybe so. He's an OK backup type if we want that, but we gotta have some rush somewhere. IMO, Johnson can be that backup.
