The Oakland Raiders ended their three-day minicamp on Thursday and Dennis Allen is optimistic from what he is seeing from the revamped roster.

"I know there’s a lot of experts out there that might think differently, but I like this football team," said Allen.

The Raiders went 4-12 last season.

“I like this football team,” Allen said, presumably for emphasis. “I like the players on this team and I’m excited to see what they can do once they get into training camp."
