| Te'o off-limits to media but not Maxim party |
|---|
SAN DIEGO (AP) Manti Te'o isn't hiding out. He's just not talking to the media. After being spotted attending a party thrown by the magazine Maxim last week in Hollywood, Te'o was back in San Diego at the Chargers second open session of organized team activities on Monday. For the second straight week, the former Notre Dame linebacker was barred from speaking with reporters. |

Player News

According to the Contra Costa Times, Terrelle Pryor's passes are still "too wobbly and off the mark" to be considered a legitimate threat for the Raiders' starting quarterback job. Last preseason, we were taken aback a bit by Pryor's woeful accuracy and poor velocity on precision throws, although he can heave it downfield with some power. He's simply not an effective passer. While rookie Tyler Wilson has shined at OTA practices, Pryor has stumbled. Look for Matt Flynn and Wilson to make 2013 starts while Pryor operates as the third-stringer in a baseball cap. |
|
The Raiders have converted CB Brandian Ross to free safety. A 6-foot, 191-pound former undrafted free agent from Youngstown State, Ross will compete for a roster spot behind penciled-in starter Usama Young. |
|
Darren McFadden reportedly looks "energized" and "explosive" at Raiders early OTAs. Averaging nearly five missed games per year through five NFL seasons, McFadden has all the incentive in the world to stay healthy entering his contract year. We don't doubt McFadden looks explosive in the non-padded practices. Whether Oakland's talent-deficient offensive line can open running lanes will be more critical to the 25-year-old's 2013 fantasy production. |
|
Raiders LB Miles Burris is missing time at OTAs after an offseason knee surgery. It's believed he underwent surgery in January, although the extent of the operation was never revealed. "Scopes" don't usually sideline players for four months. Burris has lost his starting job after Oakland's offseason linebacker signings. A 2012 fourth-round pick, he struggled mightily as a rookie. |
|
The San Francisco Chronicle's Vic Tafur observed at OTAs that RB-turned-CB Taiwan Jones will face a "steep uphill climb" to make the Raiders' 2013 roster. Jones has enough size and speed for the transition, but he's a huge project as a third-year player already changing positions. We don't see Jones as a member of Oakland's five-deep at cornerback. He may not even make it to camp. |

Depth Chart
According to the Contra Costa Times, Terrelle Pryor's passes are still "too wobbly and off the mark" to be considered a legitimate threat for the Raiders' starting quarterback job. Last preseason, we were taken aback a bit by Pryor's woeful accuracy and poor velocity on precision throws, although he can heave it downfield with some power. He's simply not an effective passer. While rookie Tyler Wilson has shined at OTA practices, Pryor has stumbled. Look for Matt Flynn and Wilson to make 2013 starts while Pryor operates as the third-stringer in a baseball cap.
The Raiders have converted CB Brandian Ross to free safety. A 6-foot, 191-pound former undrafted free agent from Youngstown State, Ross will compete for a roster spot behind penciled-in starter Usama Young.
Darren McFadden reportedly looks "energized" and "explosive" at Raiders early OTAs. Averaging nearly five missed games per year through five NFL seasons, McFadden has all the incentive in the world to stay healthy entering his contract year. We don't doubt McFadden looks explosive in the non-padded practices. Whether Oakland's talent-deficient offensive line can open running lanes will be more critical to the 25-year-old's 2013 fantasy production.
Raiders LB Miles Burris is missing time at OTAs after an offseason knee surgery. It's believed he underwent surgery in January, although the extent of the operation was never revealed. "Scopes" don't usually sideline players for four months. Burris has lost his starting job after Oakland's offseason linebacker signings. A 2012 fourth-round pick, he struggled mightily as a rookie.
The San Francisco Chronicle's Vic Tafur observed at OTAs that RB-turned-CB Taiwan Jones will face a "steep uphill climb" to make the Raiders' 2013 roster. Jones has enough size and speed for the transition, but he's a huge project as a third-year player already changing positions. We don't see Jones as a member of Oakland's five-deep at cornerback. He may not even make it to camp.
Raiders 2012 third-round pick Tony Bergstrom opened OTAs as the team's starting left guard. A college tackle, Bergstrom was Oakland's first selection in the 2012 draft, where they lacked both first- and second-round picks. He earned just over 100 snaps as a rookie. New OL coach Tony Sparano was reportedly "high" on Bergstrom coming out of Utah. He's giving him the first look to replace Cooper Carlisle.
The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent punter Chris Kluwe as a possible replacement for the departed Shane Lechler. General manager Reggie McKenzie announced the deal with the eight-year veteran on Friday. Kluwe played in 127 games for the Minnesota Vikings with a 44.4 yard career average. He ranks second all-time in Minnesota history with a 37.3 net average. Kluwe has been one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, taking up very public fights for gay marriage and against drunken driving this past season so he fits in well in the progressive East Bay.
Third-round LB Sio Moore has been lining up at both strong-side and weak-side linebacker in spring workouts. "His ability to understand multiple positions has been good," coach Dennis Allen said. "He's athletic in space, which was something Philip (Wheeler) was really good at. I think he's got great awareness for the game and he's probably got a little bit more coming off the edge." Explosive off the edge, Moore should force his way onto the field as a rookie.
New Raiders KR Josh Cribbs (meniscus surgery) says he'll be ready "when it's time to play football." Cribbs called Jets GM John Idzik's observation that his knee "(wasn't) quite there yet" a "negotiation tactic" before admitting he might not be ready to practice for over a month. Regardless, Cribbs should be ready well in advance of Week 1, and is slotted in as the Raiders' primary return man.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on NFL 32 that fourth-round pick Tyler Wilson made a "very big impression" on Raiders brass during his first week of offseason practices. Mort suggested Raiders officials believe Wilson "looks a little better than (they) thought" he would. It's a positive early step because Wilson is likely to shine in live, contact situations as well due to his toughness in the pocket. Right now, Wilson is just throwing the ball against air and DBs who can't hit. In terms of being a value pick, Wilson was our favorite quarterback in the 2013 draft.
Raiders signed P Chris Kluwe to a one-year, $840,000 contract. Kluwe's controversial/outspoken nature, mediocre play and $1.45M contract got him ousted from Minnesota. He'll fit right in the with the Raiders, who now have their Shane Lechler replacement at a veteran minimum salary. Kluwe's torn left meniscus is expected to be healed well before camp, where he'll face some competition from Marquette King.
The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent kick returner Josh Cribbs to a one-year contract. Cribbs' agent, John Rickert, confirmed the deal when reached by phone Wednesday. He declined to disclose financial terms. Cribbs, who turns 30 next month, had been with the Cleveland Browns since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State in 2005. He averaged 27.4 yards on kick returns and 12 yards per punt return last season but did not have a touchdown. He also had seven receptions for 63 yards.
Raiders agreed to terms with WR/KR Josh Cribbs, formerly of the Browns, on a one-year contract. Jets GM John Idzik said just yesterday that Cribbs' knee wasn't yet up to snuff coming off meniscus surgery, but the Raiders decided they couldn't wait to sign the return specialist. Going on 30, Cribbs has taken a number of thundering hits over the years, but remained one of the league's best return men last season. Cribbs should see little, if any, time on offense. He's surpassed 200 yards receiving only twice in his eight-year career.
Raiders claimed WR Andre Holmes off waivers from the Patriots. Although Holmes has been cut twice since late November -- first by Dallas and most recently by New England -- he's 6-foot-4, 210 with 4.45 speed and the Raiders need all the talent they can get. He'll compete for a roster spot.
Raiders signed TE Jeron Mastrud, formerly of the Dolphins. Mastrud, 25, appeared in 14 games with Miami last season, playing 100 snaps. He wasn't targeted in the passing game and is purely a blocker. The Raiders also claimed WR Andre Holmes off waivers from the Patriots. To make room, Oakland released TE Mickey Shuler and DB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah.
According to the Contra Costa Times, seventh-round WR Brice Butler "made like Juron Criner" at Raiders rookie minicamp, making a host of impressive plays. It's meant as a compliment, but Criner lit up pad-less workouts last offseason before not doing much of anything in the preseason or regular season. Standing in at 6-foot-3, 214 pounds with 4.37 wheels, Butler has always looked good in practice, but didn't do much on the field for San Diego State. The preseason will be his first real test.
Raiders first-round CB D.J. Hayden says he "(doesn't) even think about" his fluke heart injury. Raiders rookie minicamp - which was pad-less without hitting - was the first time Hayden had practiced since suffering a torn heart cavity in a freak November collision. "The only time I think about it is when somebody asks me," Hayden said. "But when I'm on the field I don't think about it. I think about the play, and I think about the coverage. I've put it past me." Hayden's final test will be taking live hits, but the injury shouldn't be an issue going forward.
The Raiders believe sixth-round DT Stacy McGee is ready to move on from his off-the-field issues. McGee was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession at Oklahoma, and was also suspended for unspecified rules violations. "We've had a lot of conversations," coach Dennis Allen said. "I think he understands the mistakes he's made. He's ready to learn and move on from it." Much like Buffalo's Da'Rick Rogers, McGee should be subject to a "one strike and you're out" policy.
The Contra Costa Times believes it's "not a stretch" to think fourth-round pick Tyler Wilson could surpass Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor on the Raiders' quarterback depth chart this season. Wilson reportedly looked like a "seasoned veteran" at rookie minicamp, throwing the football with placement and velocity. He'll look even better in preseason games because Wilson stands tall and firm in the pocket and isn't gun-shy under pressure. "Throwing the ball, he's done a nice job," said coach Dennis Allen. "I don't have any question about his arm strength and his accuracy."
According to CSN Bay Area's Paul Gutierrez, sixth-round pick Latavius Murray's running style "mirrors" Darren McFadden's. NFL Films' Greg Cosell has separately compared Murray's playing style to DeMarco Murray's. The inference is the sixth-rounder with 4.38 wheels has terrific straight-line speed, but will struggle to make NFL defenders miss. Murray does pack power at 6-foot-3, 223 pounds, and that's what the Raiders want in new OC Greg Olson's gap-blocking scheme. Murray should make the final 53.
Curry signed with the Giants Friday, giving him another chance in the NFL after what has been a forgettable career. Curry, signed to a six-year, $60 million contract with the Seahawks, lasted little more than two seasons with Seattle before being traded to Oakland on Oct. 12, 2011, for a seventh-round draft pick and a conditional choice last April. The former Wake Forest product played in 13 games for the Raiders before being waived on Nov. 16 after spending most of last season in the physically unable to perform list.
Updating a previous item, free agent LB Aaron Curry stayed at the Giants facility for this weekend's minicamp after his Thursday visit. Coach Tom Coughlin said Curry was still at club headquarters for "a tryout," indicating the team wants to see him perform drills on the field. Curry has battled knee problems in recent years. "We brought him back in this morning and talked to him a little bit," Coughlin said. "We'll see where it goes."
Free agent LB Aaron Curry left his Giants visit without a contract. Curry worked out and took a physical. The Giants were likely just checking out Curry's knees and putting together their emergency list. Curry has worked out for the Bengals, Bears, and Giants since being released by the Raiders last November. Seven teams have reportedly shown interest in him this offseason.
Free agent DL Richard Seymour "definitely" wants to play this season. Seymour is 33 and missed eight games last year due to hamstring woes, but is still a difference-maker when on the field. "I've had a couple of text conversations with Richard, and he definitely wants to play," NFL Network's Steve Wyche said. If that's the case, Seymour is going to have to settle for less money than he's used to. The Falcons have shown interest, but won't be breaking the bank.
Free agent LB Aaron Curry will visit the Giants on Thursday. Curry, the No. 4 overall pick in 2009, appeared in two games for the Raiders last season, making one tackle. He was later released in November and never latched on elsewhere. Curry, 27, is reportedly drawing interest from "several teams," but he's going to have to show he's over his knee issues.
ESPN NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas suggests the Falcons could make a run at free agent DL Richard Seymour after June 1. The Falcons can free up cap space with a Matt Ryan extension, and after June 1 they'll also have $4.5 million more to work with because Tyson Clabo's release was classified as a post-June 1 move. Yasinskas names Seymour as a possible post-June 1 signing, "or an experienced linebacker." (Karlos Dansby?)
The Contra Costa Times projects Mychal Rivera as the Raiders' Week 1 starting tight end. Yikes. Rivera is a sixth-round project out of Tennessee that measured small, slow and weak at the Combine. We doubt he'll be able to hold the starting job through camp. The Raiders' tight end position is going to be a black hole for fantasy owners as David Ausberry is the only other pass-catching option for coach Dennis Allen. No. 172 pick Nick Kasa will also be in the mix to start.
Raiders re-signed LS Nick Guess. Guess, 24, was on Oakland's roster for two weeks last season. Regular deep snapper Jon Condo is one of the best, so Guess is a roster long shot.
Raiders signed K Eddie Carmona. Carmona spent time in Raiders camp last summer. He'll be Sebastian Janikowski's caddie before getting waived.
The San Francisco Chronicle expects No. 42 pick Menelik Watson to be the Raiders' starting right tackle this season. We expect the same. Incumbent RT Khalif Barnes (6-foot-6, 321) started nine games in 2012, and beat writer Vic Tafur thinks the Raiders could kick him inside to right guard. Fifteen-game starter Mike Brisiel (6-foot-5, 300) isn't a fit for the new power-blocking scheme, so he's likely ticketed for a backup role.
Raiders signed Rice WR Sam McGuffie. McGuffie (5-foot-10 1/4, 201) transferred from Michigan after the Rich Rodriguez debacle and wound up converting from tailback to slot receiver. He caught 54 passes for 603 yards (11.2 YPR) and five touchdowns as a senior. A straight-line speedster with an extensive track background, McGuffie ran a 4.36 forty with a 1.49 ten-yard split and 11-foot-2 broad jump at the Owls' Pro Day. McGuffie has a chance to be a space weapon on offense with special teams value.
According to SI's Peter King, "more than one team" was concerned about No. 12 pick CB D.J. Hayden's football future. The Raiders didn't blink in making Hayden the No. 12 overall pick, but other teams were unsure if he'd be able to put his fluke injury behind him. Hayden's college career ended last November after he suffered a torn heart cavity in a freak practice collision. He's now 100 percent, but hasn't taken any live reps since. Hayden doesn't think he'll have an issue moving on. "The chance of it happening again are slim and none," Hayden said. "But I can tell you I think the more reps I get, the more comfortable I will be and the better I will do. I am not worried about it."
Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie cited Tyler Wilson's pocket toughness as a primary strength and reason Oakland targeted Wilson in the fourth round. Wilson had to be one of the nation's toughest quarterbacks behind Arkansas' porous line, and that's a trait that translates well to playing under center in the NFL. (i.e. Blaine Gabbert didn't have it; Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin did.) "We like the way he can move around in the pocket," McKenzie said. "We like his toughness to hang in there and see the field. We think he has a lot of qualities that go into being a good solid quarterback in the NFL."
Raiders signed Boston College OT John Wetzel. Wetzel (6-foot-7, 315) was a two-year starter for the Eagles, playing left tackle as a junior before being kicked to the right side as a senior. A heavy-legged waist bender, Wetzel has very little athleticism and upside. He's a right-tackle only, severely limiting Wetzel's attractiveness as a potential Raiders backup.
Raiders signed Duke WR Conner Vernon. Vernon (6-foot 1/4, 196) was quarterback Sean Renfree's favorite receiver for the Blue Devils, catching 85 balls for 1,074 yards (12.6 YPR) and eight touchdowns as a senior. He ran 4.68 at the Combine with a 32.5-inch vertical, exhibiting little athleticism. Vernon runs pretty routes and has clay hands, so perhaps he'll get a look in the slot.
Raiders selected Missouri Western State DE David Bass with the No. 233 overall pick. Bass (6-foot-3 7/8, 262) started a record 50 games for the Griffons and left MWSU as the school's all-time leader in both sacks (40.5) and tackles for loss (56). A squatty, long-armed (33 1/2") pass rusher, Bass was an East-West Shrine standout before running a 4.84 at the Combine with a 1.67 ten-yard split. Bass faces a large jump in competition and lacks truly explosive edge-rusher tools, but he's good value here for a Raiders team in desperate need of sack production. He'll have a solid chance to make the 53.
Raiders selected San Diego State WR Brice Butler with the No. 209 overall pick. Standing in at 6-foot-3, 214 pounds with 4.37 wheels, Butler has an intriguing size/speed combo, but had trouble producing on the field in college. The Raiders are surely hoping they can mold his considerable natural abilities into a late-blooming deep threat, but Butler simply isn't a natural pass-catcher. Even with the Raiders thin at wideout, Butler will have trouble making the team.
Raiders selected Oklahoma DT Stacy McGee with the No. 205 overall pick. McGee (6-foot-3, 308) is an off-field trainwreck, having been arrested two Februaries ago on marijuana charges and again last December for DUI. He started 15 games for the Sooners and tallied 9.5 career tackles for loss to go with 2.5 sacks. McGee is a former four-star recruit with plenty of talent but far more baggage. In other words, he'll fit right in with the Raiders.
The Oakland Raiders have drafted Butler with their first pick in the seventh round. The Raiders took Butler 209th overall. Butler had 24 catches for 347 yards and four touchdowns last season at San Diego State. He played the previous three years at Southern California before transferring for his senior season.
The Oakland Raiders drafted McGee with their last of four sixth-round picks. Oakland took McGee 205th overall with a compensatory pick. The Raiders previously selected tight ends Nick Kasa and Mychal Rivera and running back Latavius Murray in the sixth round.
Raiders selected Tennessee TE Mychal Rivera with the No. 184 overall pick. Rivera (6-3, 242) caught 36 balls for 562 yards (15.6 YPR) and five TDs in 2012, sharing Tyler Bray's targets with Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson. He ran a 4.81 40-yard dash at the Combine, which is startlingly slow considering his size. He also managed only 17 bench-press reps. He's a project for a Raiders team that's barren at tight end.
Raiders selected Central Florida RB Latavius Murray with the No. 181 overall pick. Murray (6-foot-2 5/8, 223) rushed 198 times for 1,106 yards (5.59 YPC) and 15 touchdowns as a senior. He was a high-scoring back throughout his career, reaching pay dirt on 43 occasions. Also a capable pass catcher, Murray upped his stock with a blistering 4.38 forty and 1.48 ten-yard split at the Knights' Pro Day. He has versatility to be a short-yardage pounder and/or West Coast-type fullback. Murray will compete with Rashad Jennings and Jeremy Stewart behind Darren McFadden in Oakland.
Raiders selected Colorado TE Nick Kasa with the No. 172 overall pick. Kasa (6-foot-5 7/8, 269) was a defensive end until halfway through his junior year. As a senior, he caught 25 passes for 391 yards (15.6 YPR) and three touchdowns before showing good speed (4.71 forty) at the Combine. Kasa is a work in progress, but his size-speed combination gives him long-term upside. The Raiders have little talent at the position, so despite his lack of comfort as a receiver, Kasa has a chance to touch the field as a rookie due to his willingness to block.
The Oakland Raiders have selected Rivera with their third pick in the sixth round of the NFL draft. Oakland took Rivera 184th overall on Saturday with a pick acquired earlier in the day from Houston. The Raiders traded the 176th pick they acquired from Arizona earlier this month for the pick for Rivera and a seventh-rounder. Rivera caught 36 passes for 562 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Volunteers.
The Oakland Raiders have selected Murray with their second pick in the sixth round of the NFL draft. Oakland took Murray 181st overall on Saturday with a pick acquired earlier in the day from Tampa Bay for moving down in the fourth round. Murray rushed for 1,106 yards on 198 carries with 15 touchdowns last season for Central Florida. He also caught 27 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns.
The Oakland Raiders have taken Kasa with the first of their four sixth-round picks. The Raiders took Kasa on Saturday with the 172nd overall pick in the draft. The Raiders lost starting tight end Brandon Myers in free agency and have only David Ausberry and Richard Gordon as experienced players at the position. Kasa had 25 catches for 391 yards and three touchdowns last season for Colorado.
The Oakland Raiders have taken Wilson with their fourth-round pick in the NFL draft. The Raiders traded down 12 spots in the fourth round Saturday before taking Wilson. The pick gives Oakland three quarterbacks on the roster with recently acquired Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor.
Raiders selected Connecticut LB Sio Moore with the No. 66 overall pick. Moore (6-foot 3/4, 245) racked up a team-high 15.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, and 11 pass breakups at outside linebacker for the Huskies last season. An explosive athlete, he ran 4.65 at the Combine with a 38-inch vertical and 10-foot-7 broad jump. Moore is a dangerous pass rusher with plus versatility, capable of playing essentially any linebacker position. The Raiders' linebacker corps is a mess, but Moore should compete for playing time at one of the spots.
Raiders selected Florida State T Menelik Watson with the No. 42 overall pick. Watson (6-foot-5 1/8, 310) began his college career playing hoops at Marist before transferring to JUCO and finally landing at FSU for his senior year. He started 12 games at right tackle for the 'Noles and allowed just one sack. Disappointingly, Watson managed a 5.29 forty at the Combine and a 24.5-inch vertical. He did 19 bench reps at the Florida State Pro Day. A project with inconsistent tape, Watson is not quite as athletic as his billing and needs time in the weight room. Some project Watson to the left side due to perceived athletic upside, but we think his fit will ultimately place him on the right side.
Raiders selected Houston CB D.J. Hayden with the No. 12 overall pick. This is one of two picks the Raiders received from Miami for trading back from No. 3. They used it to get their man, who fills a massive need. Of course, the Raiders have massive needs at essentially every position. One of the draft's true "risers," Hayden (5-foot-11, 191) earned first-team All-CUSA honors as a senior despite being limited to nine games by a torn heart cavity suffered in a fluke practice collision. He was medically cleared this offseason, and buoyed by phenomenal tape. Rated the draft's No. 1 corner by Mike Mayock, Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar, Hayden is blessed with exceptionally quick and sudden feet, plays aggressively on the ball and has extensive experience as a "matchup" cover man, shadowing No. 1 receivers. Also a takeaway specialist, Hayden racked up six picks, six forced fumbles and 11 tackles for loss across 22 college starts.
The Oakland Raiders have selected Hayden with the 12th overall pick after trading down in the NFL draft. General manager Reggie McKenzie traded the third overall pick to Miami on Thursday night for the pick to draft Hayden and the 42nd overall pick. That deal gives Oakland a second-round pick after trading its own previously in the deal for Carson Palmer. It is a remarkable comeback for Hayden, who was moments from death last November after an on-field collision with a teammate tore a blood vessel off the back of his heart. He was taken to a hospital and underwent lifesaving surgery. He ran a 4.33 40-yard dash at Houston's pro day in March and became a first-round pick.
Matt Flynn will open the offseason program as the Raiders' starter. Last year, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Flynn would face competition and he meant it. This year, the Raiders have promised the same "competition," but don't have a Russell Wilson to back it up. Terrelle Pryor is not a real threat and GM Reggie McKenzie has admitted that he doesn't see a true franchise quarterback in the draft. Flynn is going to be under center come Week 1.
The Raiders insist Matt Flynn will face competition for the starting job. Uh-huh. There's an outside chance the Raiders won't gift the No. 1 job to Flynn if they take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, but his $6.5 million salary all but guarantees he'll be under center in Week 1. Terrelle Pryor is going to have to keep waiting for a turn that may never come.
Center Stefen Wisniewski expects Darren McFadden to "thrive" in the Raiders' new running scheme. Instead of running laterally and then making a cut, McFadden is now being asked to get his shoulders square and go. "It's a downhill offense," McFadden said at last week's first minicamp under new OC Greg Olson. "That's one of the things I like about it. I'm the type of guy I like to get going downhill, so I'm looking forward to it." McFadden is a virtual lock to get back over 4.0 yards per carry after recording a woeful 3.27 mark in that category last year.
Raiders LT Jared Veldheer has added five pounds this offseason and "considerable muscle tone" as he prepares for his contract year. Veldheer altered his workout regime and diet, and a self-Twitter pic he recently posted drew comparisons to The Incredible Hulk. Just 25 years old -- he turns 26 in June -- Veldheer graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 9 left tackle in 2012, performing especially well as a pass blocker. The Raiders are going to lock him up next offseason when they come into more salary cap space.
Darren McFadden said he and the Raiders have not talked about a contract extension. "We haven't talked about anything," McFadden said. "I'm a Raider right now and I'm playing football and preparing for the season. That's all I can do." McFadden is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and he's currently the team's highest-paid player at $5.8 million. There have been whispers the Raiders could trade the 25-year-old, but nothing concrete. Oakland doesn't have a viable No. 2.
Terrelle Pryor believes the Raiders' new braintrust is putting an emphasis on finding players with good character. "We don't want guys, like coach says all the time, we don't want guys that are about women, fast cars, cars," Pryor said. "It's all about competing, being a team player first and loving the game of football." It's a laudable sentiment, but teams that focus on character and only character tend to go nowhere fast. GM Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen deserve patience as they rebuild a broken roster, but they've had a questionable offseason, at best.
Raiders WR Jacoby Ford (Lisfranc surgery) says his foot is 100 percent healed. Ford suffered Lisfranc injuries in each of the past two seasons, but finally appears to be 100 percent. The explosive receiver has a career 17.0 YPR average, and anticipates being used on returns this season in addition to being one of the team's top pass catchers. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, it will be important for Ford to show he can remain healthy.
Raiders re-signed exclusive rights free agents RB Jeremy Stewart, C/G Alex Parsons, and DB Brandian Ross. Undrafted last year out of Stanford, 5-foot-11, 218-pound Stewart held his own with 101 yards on 25 carries across four appearances. He averaged a sturdy 4.0 yards per carry behind Oakland's putrid run-blocking line, whereas Darren McFadden's YPC was 3.3. Stewart will battle Rashad Jennings for backup duties.
Raiders WR Jacoby Ford was arrested for DUI last month, but the Oakland district attorney has declined to charge him. Ford was pulled over on March 14 for too-dark window tints and driving 75MPH in a 55MPH zone. Police "noticed the smell of alcohol coming from his car and his breath" when Ford opened his window. The Oakland D.A. provided no reason for dropping the charge other than to confirm it publicly. Ford, 26 in July, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. He missed all of 2012 with a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot. Ford also missed eight games in 2011.
Raiders agreed to terms with RB Rashad Jennings, formerly of the Jaguars. Once viewed as a promising backup, 28-year-old Jennings was a total flop while filling in for injured Maurice Jones-Drew in 2012. He started six games before being benched for ineffectiveness, returning to the lineup and then suffering a shoulder injury and concussion late in the year. Jennings will compete with Marcel Reece and Jeremy Stewart to back up Darren McFadden.
Raiders agreed to terms with QB Seneca Wallace. Wallace beat out Tyler Thigpen to join Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor in the Raiders' QB corps. He's being signed for his experience and leadership more than his skills, which have eroded to the point that he was out of the league last season. Wallace will spend camp mentoring Flynn and Pryor, but shouldn't attempt a pass after the preseason. It's possible Wallace won't make the Week 1 roster, but the Raiders have been enamored with the idea of signing a veteran QB, so he most likely will.
Raiders re-signed CB Joselio Hanson. The Raiders signed the slot corner after he was released at final cuts by the Eagles last season, and he went on to play 571 snaps. With Tracy Porter and Mike Jenkins expected to man the outside, Hanson should remain at nickel back in 2013. Going on 32, Hanson graded out positively in Pro Football Focus' ratings last season, and notched two picks and a forced fumble.
Raiders agreed to terms with S Usama Young, formerly of the Browns. The former Brown and Saint is reuniting with coach Dennis Allen, who served as his DBs coach in New Orleans from 2008-10. Young started 11 games for the Browns last season. Young is best suited for a reserve role, but will likely start opposite Tyvon Branch. He notched 53 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three interceptions in 2012, so he may at least provide some big-play ability.
New Raiders CB Mike Jenkins has just one interception over his past 38 games. He has only two picks since 2009. Unlike other frequent burn victims in the secondary, Jenkins isn't even smoothing things over with the occasional big play. Jenkins is penciled in as a starter in Oakland. For his part, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insists Jenkins' Dallas tenure wasn't a failure. "We got starting time out of (him)," Jones bargained. "That's not enough, but (he's not a bust)."
Raiders agreed to terms with DE Andre Carter to a one-year contract. Carter appeared in 12 games as a rotational pass-rushing specialist for the Raiders last year, recording just 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Now entering his age-34 season, there's little reason to expect a bounce-back campaign even if he ends up starting at right end. The Raiders badly need to add more to a pitiful pass rush that ranked 31st in the league in sacks a year ago.
Raiders agreed to terms with CB Mike Jenkins, formerly of the Cowboys, on a one-year contract. Jenkins, 28, was the 25th pick in the 2008 draft. He made the Pro Bowl in 2009 and his career has been spiraling downward ever since. Beset by shoulder injuries in 2011, Jenkins was demoted to dime back in Dallas last year, behind Mo Claiborne, Brandon Carr, and Orlando Scandrick. Pro Football Focus graded Jenkins as the 94th "best" cornerback out of 113 qualifiers. He's now projected to start opposite fellow frequent burn victim Tracy Porter in Oakland.
ESPN's Ed Werder reports the Seahawks are expected to decide between free agents Matt Leinart and Brady Quinn following Monday's QB tryout. Werder tentatively predicts Leinart will get the contract after a workout that also included Tyler Thigpen and Seneca Wallace. Leinart, though, is the least like Russell Wilson without any hint of mobility or athleticism. We would have predicted Thigpen or Wallace getting a deal, but they may have not impressed.
The San Francisco Chronicle confirms second-year WR Rod Streater will have an opportunity to start in 2013. Barring a surprise draft pick, Streater's main competition to start opposite Denarius Moore will come from 2012 fifth-rounder Juron Criner. Undrafted last April, Streater posted 39 catches for 584 yards (15.0 YPR) and three TDs as a rookie. He has versatility, capable of playing both Z receiver and the slot.
Darren McFadden says he is 100 percent healthy and happy about the Raiders' new offense. McFadden missed four games with a high-ankle sprain in a disaster of a 2012 season in ex-OC Greg Knapp's zone-blocking scheme. "I am the type of guy who likes to go downhill, make a cut and go; that's my thing," he said. "We'll mix it up like we used to, and get some zones in there, but for the most part, I will be keeping my shoulders toward the line of scrimmage." The 25-year-old is entering a contract year, and GM Reggie McKenzie is open to extension talks.
Raiders waived ILB Rolando McClain. McClain is owed base salaries of $4.005 million (2013) and $5.805 million (2014), so it's a safe bet that he'll clear waivers. He will generate some interest once he hits the open market. McClain is a two-down inside linebacker with next to no coverage ability and has off-field issues, but he's a serviceable run defender and is only 23 years old. It's perhaps worth noting that new Browns GM Mike Lombardi -- an NFL Network analyst at the time -- compared McClain to former Giants great Pepper Johnson coming out of Alabama in 2010. Cleveland could use competition at the inside linebacker position next to D'Qwell Jackson.
The Oakland Raiders have waived McClain less than three years after drafting him eighth overall. McClain is the third player drafted in the top 10 by late owner Al Davis to be let go so far this offseason by second-year general manager Reggie McKenzie. Defensive back Michael Huff (seventh pick in 2006) and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (seventh pick in `09) were cut last month.
Updating a previous item, Matt Flynn's new Raiders contract is for two years with an $11.5 million base value. The first year is fully guaranteed with a $3.25 million signing bonus and $3.25 million base salary. In 2014, Flynn's salary jumps to $5 million and is not guaranteed. It's essentially a one-year, $6.5 million commitment, although the Raiders would have "dead money" on their 2014 cap if they cut Flynn next offseason. We do not believe Flynn will prove a capable starter in Oakland.
The Raiders are still expected to release LB Rolando McClain at some point. Oakland has overhauled its linebacker corps by signing three new starters, and the team granted McClain's agent permission to seek a trade three weeks ago. Obviously, no team is going to give up a pick for a headcase in McClain who still has $10 million left on his contract. Expect his release before OTAs.
New Raiders CB Tracy Porter calls the seizure that marred his 2012 a "one-time deal." "(They) never found a cause," Porter said. "Might have been the altitude ... I am 100 percent." Porter believes the ordeal affected his market. As long as he stays healthy, Porter will be a starter in Oakland.
Sources tell ESPN that the proposed trade sending Carson Palmer to the Cardinals is expected to be completed within the next 24 hours. Ed Werder's sources are "directly involved in the negotiations." The Raiders will likely secure a late-round pick for Palmer, for whom they gave up first- and second-round picks in the middle of the 2011 season. Palmer, in turn, will accept a drastic paycut on the $13M he's currently owned for 2013 and become the Cardinals' clear-cut starter.
Raiders signed CB Tracy Porter to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Chalk up a quality signing for Oakland. Although Porter fell out of favor in Denver following his strange medical issues, the 26-year-old is a capable right corner that can play the slot in nickel formations. He's made 43 career starts and was a key piece of the Saints' 2009 Super Bowl team. The Raiders still have one of the league's worst secondaries. Their current projected starting corners are Porter and Phillip Adams, with Coye Francies at free safety.
Carson Palmer was in Arizona on Monday night, meeting with Cardinals' executives. The Palmer transaction is complicated due to his $13M 2013 salary. He can either restructure it to facilitate a trade to Arizona, or he can refuse and thereby force the Raiders to cut him. Palmer's presence in the desert suggests that he's choosing the former. Either way, the 2003 No. 1 overall pick that went 8-16 in two seasons with the Raiders is fully expected to eventually land with the Cards.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen acknowledged Monday that Carson Palmer is no longer a part of the team's plans. Said Allen, "I talked to Carson probably Saturday, over the weekend, and kind of explained to him, where we were at, what the process was. He and his representation totally understand where we're at." With Palmer-to-Arizona trade talks hitting a "snag" Monday, perhaps the Raiders will have to end up releasing Palmer rather than securing a late-round pick as compensation.
Upon acquiring Matt Flynn from Seattle, the Raiders increased his 2013 base salary from $5.25 million to $6.5 million and guaranteed all of it. The Raiders also decreased Flynn's 2014 salary from $6.25 million to $5 million, none of which is guaranteed. Escalators and incentives were increased by $200,000. Flynn received $8 million from the Seahawks in 2012 to hold a clipboard. The increase in Flynn's guaranteed money with Oakland ensures his 2013 roster spot, but he's guaranteed nothing behind this year. It's still quite possible that the Raiders will use an early-round pick on a quarterback.
The Colts have agreed to terms with Heyward-Bey. In 2012, Heyward-Bey started 14 games and had 41 receptions for 606 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Heyward-Bey has 140 receptions for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdowns since being selected by Oakland with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft. Over the past four seasons, he led the Raiders in receptions and yards receiving, while finishing second in touchdowns behind Denarius Moore (12).
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Carson Palmer-to-Cardinals trade has "hit a snag." La Canfora is uncertain if the "snag" can be overcome. Oakland and Arizona have worked on a restructured contract for Palmer, and the sides are still pushing toward a deal. Perhaps Palmer isn't cooperating by refusing to take a pay cut to head to the desert. Earlier reports had Palmer "hoping" he could sign with the Bucs, so maybe he's trying to get released to pick his own team. Stay tuned.
The Raiders acquired Seattle backup Matt Flynn on Monday for draft picks, bringing an end to Carson Palmer's brief tenure as starter in Oakland even before they are done paying the steep price they dealt to acquire him. Flynn, a backup in college at LSU to former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, has started just two games in five seasons as a pro. But it's those brief appearances that intrigue many NFL teams. He threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns in a loss at New England in place of an injured Aaron Rodgers late in the 2010 season. He then started the regular-season finale the following season, going 31 for 44 for 480 yards and six touchdown passes in a 45-41 win over D
Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson stated on ESPN's Football Today podcast that he expects Carson Palmer to be a strong system fit in Arizona. At age 33, there is some debate about how much arm strength Palmer has left. Williamson believes he can still throw the football vertically. "Palmer will be a very good Bruce Arians throw-the-ball-downfield, aggressive, old-school, Don Coryell type of quarterback," Williamson said. "He's not what he used to be, but he's a lot better than what they've played with in Arizona of late. ... Protecting him is gonna be a totally different issue." The Cards can begin "protecting" Palmer by using the seventh overall pick on an offensive lineman.
Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie said Monday that newly acquired Matt Flynn will compete with Terrelle Pryor for the team's starting quarterback job in camp. There is "organizational skepticism" about Pryor's quarterback future, but it sounds like he'll at least split reps with Flynn. "We're going to let him compete and battle, and see what happens," McKenzie said of Flynn. Although Flynn is the favorite, it's worth remembering that he couldn't beat out another athletic third-round pick in Seahawks camp last year. Russell Wilson is obviously miles ahead of Pryor -- he simply throws the football better -- but we'd stop short of markering Flynn into the Week 1 starter's job.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Seahawks will consider free agent Matt Leinart as Russell Wilson's backup. It's the first we've heard of Leinart since the Raiders decided to move on at backup quarterback, and likely doesn't have a very strong possibility of happening. The Seahawks have also been connected to Tyler Thigpen, who would be a much better fit for their evolving read-option offense. Leinart was passed over by Terrelle Pryor for a Week 17 start, and has time and again failed to make the most of his generous amount of opportunities.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora is "hearing" Carson Palmer will make $8 million with the Cardinals. Even though it would be a $5 million pay-cut, it would be a big win for Palmer, who likely wouldn't approach $8 million on the open market. It speaks to what the Cardinals think of their current QB crop despite their recent hyping of Drew Stanton. Palmer could essentially veto any trade by refusing to renegotiate. It appears he's applying his leverage wisely.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Bucs are interested in Carson Palmer. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Palmer - who is on the verge of being traded to Arizona - had been "hoping" to land with the Bucs. We now know the interest is mutual. The Bucs have looked into almost every available quarterback this offseason, making it loud and clear their faith in Josh Freeman as a franchise QB is on life support.
FOX's Jay Glazer reports the Raiders are "trying to finalize" sending Carson Palmer to the Cardinals for a "late" pick.
Raiders acquired QB Matt Flynn from the Seahawks in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2014 and a "conditional" late-round pick in 2015. Per FOX's Jay Glazer, the Raiders are "trying to finalize" trading Carson Palmer to the Cardinals for a "late pick" in a corresponding move. The Flynn terms still represent a steep price for a team with no chance of competing in 2013, and is all but bereft of premium picks in this month's draft, with just three selections in the Top 171. The Raiders can ill-afford to flip future selections. Flynn may well prove capable of managing games at half the price of Palmer, but he lacks even average arm talent and his "track record" consists of lighting up a Lions team that had already clinched a playoff spot in Week 17 of 2011. The Raiders are going to need Flynn to vastly exceed expectations for the move to be worth it. GM Reggie McKenzie's vision has proven muddled through 1 1/2 offseasons on the job.
SI's Peter King believes it's "inevitable" that Carson Palmer ends up with the Cardinals. The choking smoke should soon turn to fire despite noise about Palmer willing to be a backup for a winning team. King expects the Cardinals to surrender a fourth- or fifth-round pick, and for the sides to agree to an extension "commensurate" with Palmer's recent performance. Palmer's nonexistent mobility makes him a dubious fit behind Arizona's in-progress offensive line, but he can still throw the ball downfield and is a better option than Drew Stanton.
CSN Bay Area believes the 49ers are unlikely to sign Carson Palmer if/when he's released by the Raiders. San Francisco is reportedly "atop" Palmer's wish list, but the 49ers have little cap room to maneuver, and Palmer's style of play is the polar opposite of Colin Kaepernick's. Palmer will only end up as the 49ers' clipboard holder if he's willing to play for a bargain-basement salary, and even then it's unlikely.
Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix reports the Cardinals are "looking into" trading for Carson Palmer. Getting any compensation for a 33-year-old quarterback with a $13M salary would be quite the coup for Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie. Per Jurecki, the Cards would need Palmer to rework his contract and the only picks they're willing to surrender would be "conditional," based on play time and performance. A late-Friday tweet from the Arizona Republic's Kent Somers also indicated the Cardinals might be willing to part with "late pick(s), conditional" for the two-time Pro Bowler.
The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers insists "there will be interest" from the Cardinals once Carson Palmer is released. The question has now become whether that interest will be mutual. Somers concedes Arizona would be "doubtful" to have interest in Palmer were he traded, although it's difficult to imagine Palmer being traded without a massive restructuring of his contract. There are now several conflicting reports about Palmer's 2013 landing spot. All we know is he won't be playing for the Raiders.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it would be "a real surprise" to people around the league if Carson Palmer landed in Arizona. Schefter's report runs in direct contracts to previous ones by Scout.com's Aaron Wilson and CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora. While Palmer remains on the fast track out of Oakland, it appears he'd be more willing to target a backup job than become a starter, since Arizona is the only team to whom he's been linked that needs a first-string quarterback. Palmer is 33 years old. It's possible he wants to finish out his NFL career as a clipboard toter.
USA Today's Mike Garafolo reports Carson Palmer has placed the 49ers and Cardinals "atop the list" of his preferred suitors once he's cut. Garafolo also confirms Palmer "will continue to resist overtures" from the Raiders, who still want to renegotiate his contract. Palmer has "no desire to return to Oakland," where he's gone 8-16 as a starter the past two seasons. He'll resist "even a minimal pay cut," preferring his outright release. Palmer, obviously, would be Colin Kaepernick's backup in San Francisco. If Palmer wants to be a starter in 2013, he'll sign with the Arizona Cardinals.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms the Raiders are in "deep talks" with the Seahawks regarding a Matt Flynn trade, but will make "a final run" at reworking Carson Palmer's contract first. So there's still a small chance the Flynn trade could fall through. The Raiders would prefer to keep Palmer at a price lower than his $13 million base salary, but it's no secret the feeling lacks mutuality. Palmer wants out of Oakland. We ultimately expect Palmer to land on his feet as the Cardinals' starter.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, "multiple people around the league" believe Carson Palmer will never play another snap for the Raiders. It's yet another indication Palmer will be released just before or after April's draft. We could even see Palmer being released on the second day of the draft, if the Raiders select West Virginia's Geno Smith. The Raiders do not have a second-round pick, so they're all in at No. 3 and it would be shocking if they didn't come away with a quarterback. Palmer is done in Oakland.
According to Yahoo's Mike Silver, there is "much organizational skepticism" about Raiders third-year QB Terrelle Pryor. Pryor is big and athletic, but doesn't throw the football with velocity or accuracy -- and that's a big problem for NFL quarterbacks. In an in-depth Raiders column citing a variety of sources, Silver suggests the club may still keep Pryor around on an athletic quarterback depth chart that could potentially add free agent Vince Young and West Virginia's Geno Smith to a three-way training camp battle.
A source tells Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports that Carson Palmer's refusal to take a pay cut is based on a sense that he no longer wants to play for the Raiders. The Raiders offered him a relatively minor cut from $13 million to $10 million, but Palmer's "preference" is to be given his outright release. Silver suggests Palmer would even prefer to be a backup elsewhere than play another down in Oakland. Silver does acknowledge the Cardinals are Palmer's "most logical suitor" once he's almost-inevitably released. If Palmer were to stay with the Raiders, "the quarterback suspects he is set up for failure." Said one source, "The fans hate the (2011 Palmer) trade and take it out on him. He's probably thinking that he'll get his ass kicked, physically and mentally." Per Silver, there's an "increasing sense" from both sides that a divorce is imminent.
