OMFG



General manager Reggie McKenzie has a "really good idea" who his next quarterback will be, but he's not giving away any hints.

NFL Media columnist Michael Silver might have just cracked that code.

The Raiders want Matt Schaub, Silver noted on Thursday. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport previously had reported that the Houston Texans quarterback is on McKenzie's radar.

Schaub is being shopped by the Texans, per Rapoport, but interested teams such as the Raiders, Cleveland Browns and New York Jets are not likely to take action until he's released. That could come as soon as Friday, according to Rapoport, after the Texans formally displaced Schaub with the signing of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Around The League's Marc Sessler recently sent Schaub to Oakland as one of the best remaining fits in free agency. If Schaub ends up reuniting with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in Cleveland, though, McKenzie could turn to Josh Freeman or Mark Sanchez.

Rapoport said Thursday on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that the Browns would be "very interested" if he hits the open market.

We're not sure any of the reclamation projects above will give the Raiders a better chance to win than Terrelle Pryor.

The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down DeSean Jackson trade rumors and tries to figure out who will be next year's Michael Bennett (or Brent Grimes).

another shit qb

I don't see the problem /w a stop-gap at QB, especially if they're taking a QB they have to develop in this draft or next draft. It's not like they're a QB away from being competitive; no QB in the league could carry that roster to the postseason in that division.

If they draft an immobile pocket-passer like Carr or Mettenberger, Schaub would be a good mentor, considering his playing style is the same.

ya we are

we'll give you Christian for a 4th

jump all over this!

Glad you agree. I guess even you have by now put 2 and 2 together with all of these 2-year mediocre FA signings and come to the obvious conclusion that they're just trying to meet the league minimum salary cap in an effort to tank and accrue more, higher draft picks.

They're also showing interest in Carr if you follow pre-draft rumors. Schaub would be a good mentor for Carr.

Here's to hoping he lands in Oakland.

he sucks i rather draft one

Matt Schaub MIA after hearing the raiders want him.

Nothing about signing Schaub prevents you from drafting a QB. In fact, it creates a nicer environment for a rookie QB because it allows him to learn the position for a year.
