Raiders dump ex-starters Lawton, Morris, Richardson on cut day

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Alameda, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fullback Luke Lawton, center Chris Morris and defensive end Jay Richardson were among the prominent players released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the NFL-mandated maximum of 53 players.

Lawton appeared in 29 games as a member of the Raiders over the past two seasons, catching 13 passes and serving as a blocker for running backs Michael Bush, Darren McFadden and ex-Raider Justin Fargas, but had fallen behind Marcel Reese on the depth chart and was set to begin the year serving a suspension related to the use of a banned substance.

Morris appeared in 47 games with Oakland from 2006-09, making 10 starts last season, but was victimized by enhanced depth among Raiders offensive linemen.

Richardson was placed on the chopping block after appearing in all 48 of the Raiders' games over the past three seasons. A 2007 fifth-round pick out of Ohio State, Richardson started 22 games at end over his first two campaigns but was used exclusively as a backup last season.

Also released were wide receiver Shaun Bodiford, safety Jerome Boyd, quarterback Colt Brennan, safety Stevie Brown, defensive tackle Chris Cooper, defensive end Alex Daniels, defensive end Greyson Gunheim, defensive end Kellen Heard, defensive tackle William Joseph, linebacker David Nixon, linebacker Slade Norris, tight end John Owens, guard Alex Parsons, cornerback Joe Porter, guard Brandon Rodd, cornerback Joey Thomas, fullback Manase Tonga, punter Swayze Waters and wide receiver Todd Watkins.

The Raiders will begin the regular season next Sunday, when they travel to meet the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
