http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/9686/porter-in-oakland-makes-some-sense Tuna is tight with Al Davis and did work the Satele trade last yr, heck I'd take Johnnie Lee Higgins or Mike Huff for JP and swap draft postion for the #2 and #4 pick.
I do Huff is more of part time player in Oakland, he can't beat out Tyvon Branch and if we cut Jason Allen we need a sort of Db/ST type.
good find Pad, I mean this, like we were saying before might be our hope of something decent in a trade happening....Oakland defies all logic, and I could see this.....I wouldn't put anything past Oakland included them taking Tebow at 2 or wherever they are in the draft order...
If they can pull off a trade, that'd be great. Although, I think I'd prefer a pick to any player. That said, I just don't see anyone trading for Porter. I think teams know that the likelihood of Porter being cut before his roster bonus is due is pretty high. IMO, I think it's an almost certainty. In that case, why trade when you can pick him up for free?
JP was listing teams and included SF and AZ. As for who will trade for JP...he works cheap and is still productive.
Lets be honest...you really dont know anything about a player that has only played in Oakland. Its like when a player is drafted by Oakland or is traded to Oakland then are sucked into a black hole of horrible play. I personally dont care where we trade Porter as long as he doesn't end up with the Jets or Pats. No way can we release him to FA because they are going to pick him up in a second.
Raiders RB McFadden is the answer: Years:2 Age:22 Born:1987-08-27 Height:6-2 Weight:210 College:Arkansas for the PorterMan & all his problems
Porter to Oakland makes A LOT of sense if you're the Phins. They would be showing Porter the place to stick it, and we get some high draft picks too!
His contract is just to big and his injury problems are to frequent. Michael Bush, Zach Miller, but I doubt wherever he winds up it will be for a draft pick more than likely, there are a few Raiders players I'd like but they would probably take a draft choice.
The Raiders sure as hell aren't trading Darren McFadden for Porter. I would be surprised if we got anything higher than a 4th, and if we did, it would be a steal for us.
Tyvon Branch played well last year. He played very well in the box and I believe even got two All-Pro votes as a strong safety.
He is probably the most ignorant person to ever play on this team........I wish he could just shut his mouth and let us trade him before he has absolutely no trade value at all. Every time he talks we lose leverage in a trade...
Don't think that is the case this time JS, imho it all comes down to financials with him, if a team feels he is worth the 4.8 millie, then they pull the trigger no matter what he says. It would not be illogical to think Porter may agree to a pay cut as long as he stays in a set range like 4 million even.
On Tuesday, Porter attempted to dictate where he'll go. The 33-year-old informed Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he wants to play for a team in his home state of California that utilizes the 3-4 defensive scheme. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/02/joey-porter-wants-to-play-in-california/
I've given this some reflection and a couple of things have stood out to me from the past year concerning Joey Porter: -Porter at TC saying about how he was not naive about Competition -JT dropping the not so subtle jab by saying "I stopped going out and drinking, my play was suffering because of it" -Porter hanging out with Ted Ginn before the proposed race with Chris Johnson -the reasons why Cam Wake was not playing more often, we all wondered why he was not playing more, now it is clear..JP would have retreated further away from everyone on the team -JT saying "I'm going to go play golf while they figure out what they want to do and where they would play me' -JT also said "there is a business side to this that was kind of pushed off to the side last year" -Channing Crowder saying out of the blue "I will never ask for my release from the Miami Dolphins" -The supposed argument between JT and JP about Porter griping about being rotated in and out of games, JT is saying that was a lie, but I think it is sort of a NFL lie meaning he had to say it no matter what the facts. Lost in all of this is JT also had an interview today, archived on QAM no doubt, where he said out of the blue "anyone who says I talked bad about Joey is just offbase" or something very similar. I'd suppose one could see this coming, but the one guy no one has heard from is Akin Ayodele..
Darren McFadden for Porter & a forth round draft choice. doable. or GinnJr. & Porter for McFadden ... better yet!
My thoughts from yesterday might have hit. I see that he isn't interested in being a Phin no more. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
Depends on what they run. I know they like to run a lot of nickel and dime packages, which they feature Huff quite a bit.
Sums up why Wake did not get much time on the field. All in all its probably a good thing we now have Nolan as DC not if but when Joey walks it will only help Nolan make the changes needed easier. The young players won't miss a beat you can count on that.
McFadden is a once in a decade phenomenon @ RB: 1) had no such injury problem throughout his high school & college career & has sustained no major injuries in the NFL 2) is playing behind a terrible offensive line w/ no passing game 3) has been public in his discontent w/ the Raiders & Al Davis 4) would be the definitive answer & future to our running game 5) expensive? you usually get what you pay for... however, his price tag diminishes considerably if we can unload Porter and/or GinnJr. on Al Davis. been calling on this one since the beginning of the season it could just happen
Friend StringerBell: it's because that all this is true they will trade him plus BillParcells, plus Al is in love w/ speed (GinnJr.) & loud, attention grabbers w/ nasty dispositions (Porter) he'll go for it because he is Al Davis mark the post, he'll be a Dolphin Darren McFadden:
If we get McFadden we should also trade for Reggie Bush and draft Tim Tebow so we can have Ginn, McFadden, Bush, Pat White and Tim Tebow on the team. We'd set the record for most guys who were supposed to single-handedly revolutionize the game of football and then flamed out.
sarcasm so often sours the milk of human kindness, Friends Phinomia & Gish may seem like a long shot right now, but I've been watching this one his entire career also have a pretty good average @ guessing unsuspected acquisitions: 1) w/ first on to Cameron Wake & predicted the FrontOffice would make him a Dolphin 2) w/ first on this forum presenting & predicting the acquisition of our newly acquired offensive guard, Tsoumpas (also from the Canadian league) 3) & I'll make one more prediction: McFadden will be a Dolphin. just remember I was first to come up with it when it happens, the time is @ hand.
