PORTER FREE TO LEAVE?! CAN LINCOLN HELP?! HELP ON THE WAY?

[red]

1 thing to keep in mind when talking about bringing in new guys to help out at this point

our giant almost never ending amount of free cap room is now almost gone. as of yesterday i saw that we have only about 3.5 million left. and it would be nice to keep a lot of that incase we run into the injury bug again this year like last year so we can sign a few players so we can put a team on the field

and i have a feeling if porter goes anywhere he's going to want a monster deal

[Creepy]

If report is real it won't happen. Porter woulkd have to pay back the 4M in pay (bonus) and then Davis would have to ok the deal. It is not a release, or Porter may have been willing to give the 4M back. Anybody who gets Porter better be ready to pay big bucks as he will want his 4M and more back.

Pack should have plenty of money you have to remember 35 guys are getting cut from this roster, and there may be some surprises that are more than minimum guys like Ferguson.

Work out a Trade for porter with Furgie. Furgie has proven he cant play here. Porter has the vertical speed and I thkn would do well in a offense that is captained by the immortal one.

Sign him to a "one" year deal like Ty Law signs every year and give him the bonus money that he has to pay back. IF he is good we get him for a couple more years. If not boot him.

WE need some ammunition for the iron man!!!!


Lincoln Kenedy would be a decent camp body and we need vets on the line because we dont have any backing up people.

Answer: Ovarian & Jerry Porter

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?

I like him with us also. If TT can make this happen - it's only got to make us better on Offense.

Driver, Porter, Jennings, and two of Gardner or Ferguson or Boerigter and say a fella that is working his tail off - Ruvell Martin - is a solid receiving Unit (as an option) if we go with 6 WR's?

Lots for Brett Favre to work with passing in 2006.

GO PACKERS and GM Ted Thompson !!

Tony Oday,
davis still has to approve the deal. Do you honestlybelieve he will give up Porter for Ferguson just because he paid back the 4M? Do you belive that Porter will sign for less than the same contract that he got orbetter fromOakland last year?

Porter is a Raider and is staying in Oakland whether he likes it or not. WR are watching Walker & Owens and now think they can just jump up and say trade me now or I won't play. GB got a #2 for Walker and got rid of a cancer. The Raiders are not taking a cap hit, orletting Porter run along because he whined. There is no upside for the Raiders, and Porter knows it.

Tony! Tony - Tony !!!

Whatever YOU say !!!!!

Ferguson and a 4th for Jerry Porter is what I'd offer. DAM - Al Davis wants Porter to return something like $4 Million smackers!

Javon Walker? Did T2 - go to school ???

In fact - I believe T2 did the best he could with the Javooooon scream!

Yet !! What about the next Packer we are counting on that decides to take a "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest " - mind fart break?

Are you on that learning curve every day T2 ???

Hey I dont think it will happen either but I forgot that I was going to throw in a 4th rounder too. mistype. HOWEVER this wont happen but I wouldnt be mad if it did!

but most of those guys are counting the minimum now, meaning if they get cut it won't do anything to our cap number. only the highest paid 53 count against the cap at any time, so alot of the camp bodies we have in now that will get trimmed aren't counting against the cap now anyways

i agee we might cut a vet and gain some more cap room, but i don't think theres a lot left to gain by cutting the vets we have left. really, whose left to get rid of ? i can't think of any other then ferguson

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

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