Raiders receiver Jerry Porter's desire to be traded -- again -- and his contentious relationship with new coach Art Shell likely will result in a punitive benching or game-day deactivation, while the team turns to the untapped potential of players such as Johnnie Morant, Ronald Curry and Carlos Francis. Porter said he's prepared if Raiders coaches blackball him. "If that's how they want to spend their money,'' Porter said, "have at it.''

Kerry Collins is scheduled to visit Nashville today and undergo a physical for the Titans, according to an ESPN report Thursday night. An 11-year veteran, Collins played last season with the Raiders and has been the subject of some offseason speculation about possibly joining the Titans.

There is no indication thus far that the Raiders have called the Eagles any time in the last few days about Joey Porter. (It has been reported that Porter was shopped before the draft. Whether the Eagles were involved at that point is possible, but unknown. But if they did get a call, the fact that they took a run at Javon Walker from Green Bay and not Porter should tell you something about what they're thinking.) There is no real idea what the Raiders would want in return if they did call.

Jerry Porter reportedly is having some troubles with new Raiders coach Art Shell. The wide receiver told The San Francisco Chronicle that he has asked the team to trade him. "Yes. Absolutely. I've told them that," Porter told the newspaper. The 2000 second round pick has caught 239 passes in his six NFL seasons for 3,215 yards and has scored 24 touchdowns. Porter told the newspaper that his agent told him that the Raiders have asked for two No. 1 picks in return for him in any deal. The trade request baffles Porter. "Why ... would you ask for a No. 1 for me, or ask for two No. 1s for me, when I wasn't even a No. 1?," he told the newspaper.

Robert Gallery's move back to left tackle was temporarily put on hold Monday when the Raiders placed the third-year offensive lineman on the physically unable to perform list. Gallery, the No. 2 overall pick in 2004, injured a quad muscle working out last week. Though the injury is not thought to be serious, team trainers and coach Art Shell opted to take a cautious approach. "He was working out last weekend and he was trying to get that last oomph in and he strained his quad, so we're going to shut him down a little bit," Shell said.

The Raiders agreed to terms with first-round selection Michael Huff, the first defensive back taken in the 2006 draft, to a five-year deal worth at least $22.5 million. After helping Texas win a national championship alongside Vince Young, Huff is expected to earn a starting spot alongside Stuart Schweigert at safety for Oakland. T The Raiders had a chance to select local quarterback Matt Leinart of Southern California in the first round, but instead took Huff to help a secondary which recorded a league-low five interceptions last season.

Oakland Raiders head coach Art Shell will reward two rookies for their hard work. Shell has named second-round pick outside linebacker Thomas Howard and third-round selection right guard Paul McQuistan as starters for the upcoming season. In the meantime, Raiders first-round pick Michael Huff is fighting for a starting spot at safety. "I want the best football players out there," Shell said. "In this league you can play with young guys if the guy has talent. They're going to make some mistakes, but you can live with them if they make them aggressively."

Former Dolphins linebacker Junior Seau told a friend he has spoken to the Raiders but might retire. Seau played for the Chargers for the majority of his career and would have an opportunity to play his old team twice in 2006.

Randy Moss opened up a fruit-juice franchise this week. "Am I getting paid for doing this today?" Moss said, flashing a smile. "Yeah, we've got minimum wage coming to you," replied Berkley Fuller, executive vice president and chief business development officer of the Fort Collins, Colo., based Inta Juice.
