As the Raiders prepared to turn the page to Week 16 and the Houston Texans,

they make a roster move that may prove to be pretty significant.

Segment number two,. Calls, text, we'll close out the show hearing from you.

Segment number two, we talked about, well, the downfalls that this Raiders organization

have and how the future doesn't look as bright for multiple different reasons, including

coaches getting hired, coaches getting fired, coaches getting fired, coaches getting hired.

Well, there are some positives that you could take into this offseason and really be a very attractive job. So I want to talk about the positive side of things, what the Raiders have going for them, that there is something to look forward to as far as I'm concerned, and I believe Raider Nation is as well. So we'll talk about that, segment number two, here is segment number one, news and notes of the day. And it really has to do with the roster and the significance

of the move that was made by the Silver and Black on Tuesday. We'll jump into that after I tell you about the title sponsor of the show, and that's Fandul. If you want to be right in the middle of all the action all season long all you got to do is go to fandole.com and place your NFL live bets.

So I know you're wondering like, okay, so they waived him. No big deal. They're going to make moves like that towards the end of the season. The question is why?
