Former Raiders wide receiver Jerry Porter intends to test the free-agent market for a few days to see if any team is interested in paying him more than the Raiders are prepared to pay for his return.
If no knock-his-socks-off offer comes within the first few days of free agency, Porter will sign with the Raiders, a source close to Porter said Monday.
Porter spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with the Raiders. He bolted for the riches of free agency last year, when the Jacksonville Jaguars handed him a huge contract.
The Jaguars released Porter, 30, earlier this month in response to their not receiving the kind of production they expected from Porter last season.
The Raiders are in need of help at receiver, even if Porter is too old and broken down to be a reliable starter. He started only six games last season and battled injuries from the outset.
Oakland’s leading wide receiver last season, Johnnie Lee Higgins, caught only 22 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns — all team-highs among wide receivers.
Porter caught 11 passes for 181 yards and one touchdown in 10 games for the Jaguars. A hamstring injury he sustained in training camp set him back early on, and he never regained the form that once made him a top-tier receiver.

Higgins, Javon Walker and second-year players Chaz Schilens and Arman Shields are the only receivers under contract. Drew Carter and Ashley Lelie will be unrestricted free agents unless they are re-signed between now and the start of free agency Thursday night at 9 PDT. Veteran Ronald Curry was released Friday.

PORTER COMING BACK UNLESS RAIDERS GET OUTBID Raider Beat

[GataRaider35]

wow, if he wants to be in oakland then he should pay us

[LaRaider2010]

Fu*k Porter. I hope its for the minimum salary.

[calilivin7]

someone shoot me. Unless this guy has had a change of heart, people talk about TO being a locker room problem at least he produces. Now we have some dick who does not care at all about the fans coming back great. I will keep my fingers crossed about his attitude.

[LOUISVILLE R8R]

God! This is not good.

[R8rNation]

This would be a mistake of epic proportions. Anyone that thinks this is a good move has a few loose screws. It isn't just about him being arguably an upgrade for us at the Receiver position for a minimal cost.

It is about trying to change the attitude of this Franchise around, and bring in character guys. That is what Tom Cable has been stressing since he landed the job when Kiffin got fired.

You bring in Porter and all that talk is bulls*it.

[Rudimus]

Reading this gives me the same feeling as when I place a bid on ebay, see something else better, then hope someone else outbids my bid.

[The Judge]

"A" class douche bag. Maybe he can play safety again.

[stork44]

Please....NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiefhater]

Are the Raiders aware of his intentions? Or is the whole scenario laid out in his own mind?
