Raiders | Willing to let Porter walk
Tue, 1 Aug 2006 19:47:14 -0700

Steve Corkran, of the Contra Costa Times, reports Oakland Raiders managing general partner Al Davis said WR Jerry Porter has "lost his way" and is free to leave the team. He has four years remaining on a five-year deal, but Davis said that is not a problem as long as Porter pays back the $4 million signing bonus the team gave him for this season and his agent, Joel Segal, is able to find a trading partner willing to part with suitable compensation. The team said no other teams have contacted them about Porter.



Cowboys | Team passes on L. Kennedy

Rob Phillips, of DallasCowboys.com, reports the Dallas Cowboys have passed on retired OT Lincoln Kennedy (Raiders). Kennedy has not played since the 2003 season.



Here are two guys that might be worth going after. Kennedy hasn't played in awhile but might be worth a LOOK. If Porter is indeed set free, let's get him up here and sign him!!!!

What do you think?

Lincoln Kennedy! Wow! I didn't even know he was back. Cut from the Raiders...that doesn't help one's resume. I much rather see him on NFL Channel's Total Access than on the Packers Roster.

If TT got Porter that would instantly make our offense better. We saw what Porter can do in 2004 and he still put up good numbers in 2005 with out a good QB. It's unlikely we will get him, but if Thompson could get him...

I'll bet that the Eagles get into the fray for this player.Wondering how much money Dallas has? Could even Bill Parcells deal with that?

Owens and Porter in Dallas likely wouldn't work though, as the rumor has JP upset to be taking a back seat to Moss.

The title of this thread had me thinking Emancipation Proclamation and send in the troops.

I don't know that I want Jerry Porter. He gets paid a lot more money than he's worth in my opinion. I for one think Brett Favre can get by with below average receivers if he has a running game/oline

[SD GB fan]

i heard the raiders want two first round picks for porter

wtf? he isnt randy moss

[the_idle_threat]

We should try to do a sign-and-trade with Jamal Reynolds and Antuan Edwards.

Toss in Hunt for good measure.

[the_idle_threat]

Absolutely. Two first-round picks in Reynolds and Edwards, plus Hunt---who I think was a third-round pick---is more than enough for Porter. It would be a fair trade too. All of them---including Porter---are worthless.

I don't know what "Packer People" means, but I'm pretty sure Porter aint Packer People. Pretty please pass on the prickly Porter.

Ferguson and a bag of Dunkin Donuts for Jerry Porter ?

Hopefully the resolution of Porter's contract difficulties won't cost the country 600,000 lives and four years of bloodshed.

I, being in the Raiders television coverage area(home games are blacked out), think you are underestimating Porter. He has been limited due to playing with Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, and Randy Moss.

He is a good receiver. I would rather have him than any receiver on the Packers except Driver and Jennings. Porter is at the peak of his abilities and a great QB like Favre would help showcase his talent.

More than anything Porter needs a better chance in the NFL than with the Raiders.

You'd rather have Jennings than Porter?
