The Oakland Raiders have interest in signing DeSean Jackson, a move that Charles Woodson endorses.

"Bring him in, I think he would look good in the Silver and Black," Woodson told KGMZ-FM last week, per ESPN.com. "Of course I know the business side of it, but I've watched this guy and what he is, is a dynamic football player."

Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

"There is no question in my mind that this is the type of player that Al would bring in," Woodson said. "You hear about the off-field stuff but I don't think Al would concern himself with that too much. I think Al would do his homework. But I think he would take a serious hard look, and if there was an opportunity I think he would bring that guy in.

"DeSean can stretch the field, and we know how much Al loved having guys that can stretch the field. So I don't think there is any question he would bring him in."

An NFL team in Los Angeles remains a far off possibility despite uncertain situations for the Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars.

“We’ve been very open that if we had the right opportunity to be back in Los Angeles with the right formula — meaning a stadium — most importantly,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. “We know there are millions of fans who want a team there. We would love to do that, but it has to be successful.

“We are going to do it right if we are going to do it. There are different proposals out there and different opportunities, but not one that we are focused on and can say that we have the right solution yet. We’re not there.”

Mark Davis, owner of the Raiders, has talked openly about Los Angeles as a possible future home.

The Bills have a stadium lease that runs through 2022, and for the next six years it will cost $400 million to break that lease. But it only costs $28 million to break the least in 2020.

DeSean Jackson and the Oakland Raiders have mutual interest.

The Raiders were Jackson's favorite team growing up and he played collegiately nearby at Cal.

The Kansas City Chiefs are also interested in Jackson.

Maurice Jones-Drew and the Oakland Raiders have agreed upon a three-year deal.

Jones-Drew grew up in the Bay Area.

Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden are expected to share snaps at running back.

Maurice Jones-Drew will meet with the Oakland Raiders on Friday.

Jones-Drew grew up near Oakland and attended De La Salle High School, one of the country's best football programs.

Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden would share carries.

Jared Veldheer disputed the notion proposed by Reggie McKenzie that he didn't want to re-sign with the Oakland Raiders because he "didn't want to play for the Raiders anymore."

McKenzie also made it clear that Veldheer's exit to Arizona "wasn't about finances."

"I appreciate everything that Oakland did for me over the last four years," Veldheer said. "We just couldn't get (a contract) done. It wasn't that I didn't want to be there, because I know that's been said recently. That just wasn't the case."

The Raiders slow-played Veldheer before the start of free agency.

Veldheer said the Arizona Cardinals were "very aggressive" and "made it clear that they wanted me here."

The Oakland Raiders are bullish on the abilities of Matt Schaub, who was acquired this offseason for a late round pick.

"We have a quarterback now that’s on par with the quarterbacks in this division," said Dennis Allen.

Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers and Alex Smith are Schaub's three counterparts in the AFC West.

"The best way to stop those offenses No. 1 is to keep your defense off the field. And I think with some of the things we’ve been able to do up front, both from a protection standpoint, from an ability to run the football, I think those things are going to help us.

"Obviously I think the quarterback’s going to help us."

Schaub struggled badly in 2013 with the Houston Texans.

"Everybody has down seasons. Everybody has down years. It’s not a shame to get knocked down, it’s a shame to not get back up," said Allen.

"This is a guy that’s been a two-time Pro Bowl player, he’s been a top-10 quarterback in the National Football League over the last five years and we believe and he believes that he’s still that."

Terrelle Pryor is seeking a release from the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders acquired Matt Schaub via trade and will be their starter at quarterback.

Mark Davis was asked if fans of the Oakland Raiders should be concerned that the franchise could relocate again to Los Angeles.

"No, not at this time," said Davis after a few awkward moments.

The Raiders are in need of a new stadium.

“We’re not done in Oakland. We’re trying really hard, and we’ll see how that goes,” Davis said. “But Los Angeles is something that I’ve definitely thought about and haven’t pursued. There are other places as well. Until we can find out if Oakland is real, then I’m still staying in Oakland. If we can get something done in Oakland, I will stay in Oakland.”

Matt Schaub has agreed to a restructured contract with the Oakland Raiders.

Schaub agreed to lower his base salary and cap number this season. Schaub can still earn $15 million to $20 million over the next two seasons.

The Raiders acquired Schaub in a trade with the Houston Texans.
