A lot more noise the last day or two that Oakland is in play for trading for Flynn, heh.
Now there is heavy rumors of McCoy possibly being traded to Oakland.
"SportsWorldReport.com mentions the Colt McCoy rumor in an interesting discussion of possible choices for the Oakland Raiders quarterback. Mathew Jussim writes that McCoy could be an option if they decide not to acquire Matt Flynn or draft Geno Smith."

Man,Oakland must be desperate for a QB.McCoy lost his job to Brandon Weeden,who will be battling Jason Campbell,formerly of the Raiders for the starting position in Cleveland.Oakland should see if Nick Foles could be traded for.I wonder if they could lure Ken Stabler or Jim Plunkett out of retirement?![]()
Colt McCoy hasn't impressed me, either in college or as a pro. So, I hope the Raiders sign him.![]()
IF McFadden is healthy, the QB will be the least of your worries about!![]()
McCoy would be cheaper in both cap and in trade value, probably both significant motivating factors. Cutting Palmer and taking on McCoy's contract would probably take up less than $12m of cap space, while Flynn would take more to acquire via trade and increase the combined salary footprint to close to $17m.
Of course then McCoy becomes a free agent next year unless he signs a new deal, so unless they like something about him that move becomes kinda questionable.
Except we hear that EVERY year and he's never healthy enough to last the whole year, which is what they would require to be a playoff contender.
Salsa,
Tell me about Hayward Bay ... he was at the Lions camp and was wondering if he would be a good fit in thier system ?
I liked him alot and was improving...until last year when he took a step back. He is beter suited to be a slot than someone trying to stretch the field. He is as good AS ANY WR when it comes to YAC. Very few defensive players can catch him. IF anyone can get him at $3-$5 million a year, he is a steal!
Twitter lighting up saying a Flynn trade is imminent.
Edit: to Oakland apparently

I saw that. It would be a great move if didn't mean adding MORE the cap.
