Sources close to the Raiders indicate that WR Jerry Porter isn't the happiest camper with the way new head coach Art Shell has pushed for more discipline. Sources cite the sometimes tenuous relationship Porter had with Jon Gruden, who, like Shell, was more heavy-handed than Bill Callahan or Norv Turner. The Raiders have dangled Porter as trade bait in the past, so it wouldn't come as a complete surprise for Oakland to shop him if things don't go well early on.
Jerry Porter isn't the happiest camper
- Thread starter nofx
- Start date
The Raiders would love to add a running back for depth behind LaMont Jordan and may look to the early round of training-camp cuts for just such a candidate. Justin Fargas, No. 2 on the depth chart, is considered little more than a special-teams guy, and part-time FB Zack Crockett, while reliable in the past, is not someone you want to hand your offense over to.
• Word out of Oakland is that the development of rookie LBs Thomas Howard and Darnell Bing could ultimately determine how many three- or four-LB looks the Raiders use this season. The Raiders are believed to be at least mildly interested in the services of Junior Seau because they'd like to add a veteran presence defensively.

WARREN SAPP STILL HAS SOME GAS... HIS STATS BEFORE HE GOT INJURED LAST SEASON ILLUSTRATE THIS.. THIS SEASON WILL PROVE IT.
AND WE GOT SOME SERIOUS DEPTH AT WIDEOUT.. MOSS.. GABRIEL.. CURRY.. WHITTED AND FRANICIS..
NOT THAT PORTER AINT A SOLID WIDEOUT BUT HE MAKES GREAT TRADEBAIT FOR A SOLID DEFENSIVE PLAYER..

If you get a good player in return it woule be worth it, but trading Porter will be like the Broncos trying to trade Ashlie Lelie right now....get nothing in return!
Now if the Raiders want to trade Porter for Asslie I would be more than down for that!
Your wr core is way better off with Porter at #2 than anyone else. Gabriel & Curry will not demand double coverage in situations where Porter will. Not too mention if Porter leaves there goes moss's season as well.
Don't even say Barlow, talk out here is trading Asslie for Barlow....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOL
Asslie is pretty useless right now but Barlow?? We could pencil him in as our #4 back...haha
