Sorry for another post.... BUTTTT..... If you don't have espn inside I read something interesting that you guys might want to hear:
ESPN INSIDER:
Porter on the move?
<Aug. 2> The Raiders are willing to deal Porter, provided he pays back the $4 million bonus he received for this season, and his agent, Joel Segal, is able to find a team willing to give the Raiders suitable compensation, be it in the form of draft picks or established players, the Contra Costa Times reports.
"If someone offers us the [draft] choice we want or a representative player and the $4 million bonus he took from us this year, we'll respond," Owner Al Davis said. "They got to get it done. [Porter's] agent has known this since the draft [in April]. Before the draft, he knew what he had to do. He couldn't get it done."

According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Packers wouldn't mind adding Porter, but a deal appears unlikely unless the Raiders drop their asking price significantly. They reportedly are looking for at least a first-round draft pick.

"I don't know what's really on [the Raiders'] minds, but I know they want a big-time pick," said Reggie McKenzie, the Packers' director of pro personnel.

Very interesting to see how this will play out

very interesting info that we are interested if the price is right

Never, EVER feel bad about posting an article from an "exclusive" source like ESPN insider. For poor college students such as myself who can't afford such things with out-of-state tuition without reciprocity and with $700 due for books next week (I'm not joking), this is a Godsend

In summary, thanks

YOu know usually there is no comment at all from the packers in regards to these type of stories. That fact that they commented makes me think they are seriously considering this.

Porter expected to play against Vikings

NFL.com wire reports

NAPA, Calif. (Aug. 12, 2006) -- Oakland Raiders coach Art Shell expects disgruntled wide receiver Jerry Porter to play against the Minnesota Vikings.

Porter, who led the Raiders with a career-high 76 receptions last year, didn't play against Philadelphia in the Hall of Fame game last week because of a calf injury. Shell said trainer Rod Martin expects Porter to be able to go.

"If he's ready to play, he'll play," Shell said.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound Porter has had the calf injury for much of training camp and only recently returned to practice full time.

But since returning, Porter -- who hasn't spoken with Shell since an offseason disagreement over conditioning -- hasn't spent any time with the first-team offense. Instead, he's practiced with the backups while Randy Moss, Doug Gabriel and Alvis Whitted take reps with the starters.

Earlier this week, Porter made a nice catch during a scrimmage drill, prompting teammate Jarrod Cooper to joke from the sideline, "Hey Porter, why can't you do that with the (starters)?"

Porter chuckled out loud and responded, "I'm not with the (starters)."

Shell was noncommittal about whether Porter would play with Oakland's starting offense at any time against the Vikings.

"He'll play," Shell said. "He'll play. If he's ready to play, he'll play."

Interesting read! The graphics were cool but overdone, I'd rather be on this Forum reading other members' thoughts and ideas though. The Raiders' thread content had little of that, mostly gory stuff.

Anyone know when the Raiders/Vikings play?
Do we really want/need another whiny baby on our team? JP sounds like he's gearing up.....

[TPF]

I'd take him in a second. He justs needs the right surroundings.

I don't believe he's going anywhere real fast, unless someone toss's an exceptional deal at daaa Raidaaas. He's expensive also.

Management and the fans just want him to pull the Company Line.

[Packers4Ever]

I guess I just have too many memories of McKenzie and Walker and wasn't there a 3rd one in last couple years too? Too many are 'testing the water' to see how much they can get out of management. TT handled Harris ok though...

[Packers4Glory]

we need Porter. the offense needs another weapon. He is a good,talented, WR. that would allow Jennings to play the 3 and fergy to be 4 and a special teams player.
