billieve420 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 In addition to Amani Toomer here is another guy I would take a look at once free agency starts on a possible 1-2 year deal if the price is right. He had pretty good numbers in 2006-2007. With a shaky QB situation in Oakland and knee surgery prior to the season didn't post good numbers this past year. However, with a change in scenery and possibly getting healthy again might be worth investigating. http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/18/raiders-ex...lease-wr-curry/ http://www.nfl.com/players/ronaldcurry/profile?id=CUR505495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken I think he has torn his achilles twice. Not sure if you can ever fully recover from that sort of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Wasn't Ronald Curry an NBA star?? Uh, no. That was Del Curry and his son Steffan Curry is a beast. Ronald Curry did play for the Tarheels basketball team when he was in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Another thread to bring in a WR not was never much to begin with, all hype, and in no way better than Reed. If you want to bring in a Housh, Boldin, etc. that is an upper end player, then great. But to bring in some bumb like this guy, Porter, Williams, B. Johnson, etc. is just dumb. They are NOT upgrades over reed and will potentially slow down the development of our young guys like Johnson. There is NO positive to bringing in players like this. There is a reason they are cut. In fact, this isnt the first time for most of these bumbs to either be cut or just chosen not to be resigned by their teams...they are not any good...

silvermike Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like Ronald Curry a lot, and I wish he hadn't gotten injured and abandoned to the Raiders. But alas, there's no value there any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Wasn't Ronald Curry an NBA star?? Ronald Curry was the most hyped HS athlete EVER. He was supposed to be Michael Vick and Michael Jordan rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the poster said he definitely wants to sign him,he just thinks he's worth taking a look at. There's a need on this team for a veteran #2 or #3 type reciever on this team,IMO. And what the hell is a "bumb" anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
