Shell Says Jerry Porter Is Free To Leave

Contra Costa Times - Disgruntled wide receiver Jerry Porter "has lost his way" and is free to leave according to Raiders managing general partner Al Davis.

Porter has been unhappy with his standing since a face-to-face meeting with coach Art Shell in February that ended with Shell berating Porter and kicking him out of his office.

Porter demanded a trade, but he has four years left on the five-year extension that he signed before last season. No problem, the Raiders said.

That is, as long as Porter pays back the $4 million bonus he received for this season, and his agent, Joel Segal, is able to find a team willing to give the Raiders suitable compensation, be it in the form of draft picks or established players, Davis said. [READ]
