Sources tell ESPNNewYork.com that the Jets have checked on JaMarcus Russell and have interest in the former first overall pick. The Jets are looking to acquire a veteran quarterback before training camp and, while league sources maintain that free agent Mark Brunell remains the odds-on favorite, Mike Tannenbaum isn't ignoring other options.

Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha will give Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis 50 cents towards the new contract he desires. Revis wants to be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. Asomugha currently holds that distinction. "I can give Darrelle the 50 cents if he wants it," Asomugha joked with ESPN "First Take" host Dana Jacobson on Friday.

Richard Seymour signed his $12.4 million exclusive franchise tag tender with the Oakland Raiders on Saturday. By placing the tag on Seymour in February, the Raiders guaranteed Seymour a salary for next season of at least $12.398 million, which was the average salary earned last year by the five highest-paid defensive ends in the league. Seymour, 31, was not allowed to negotiate with other teams so it was inevitable that he would return to the Raiders.

The Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL could sign JaMarcus Russell, according to a report from ProFootballTalk. A month ago NFL.com reported Russell had no intention to sign with a team in the AFL or CFL. Russell has presumably been waiting for an NFL job, but he could opt for the chance to actually take snaps. A source tells ProFootballTalk that Russell remains uninterested in signing with any team outside of the NFL.

Raiders coach Tom Cable realizes that he doesn't have an elite running back on his roster, which means he'll likely use a tandem system this season. Cable was hoping to identify a lead back, but Darren McFadden and Michael Bush have been neck-and-neck in workouts. "I think they're both doing something exciting each day, whether it's running the ball or pass protecting," Cable said. "Each one of them has their own strength but they both show up every time we come out here. I actually think their both (No. 1s) and I think it's a great deal we got going here."

Former Jaguars DT John Henderson reached agreement Friday with the Raiders on a one-year deal.

Raiders coach Tom Cable?s postseason stance until Wednesday was he was hoping to identify a lead back which could upgrade a running game which sagged in 2009. ?I think they?re both doing something exciting each day, whether it?s running the ball or pass protecting,? Cable said. ?Each one of them has their own strength but they both show up every time we come out here. I actually think their both (No. 1s) and I think it?s a great deal we got going here.?

The Raiders have been forced to cancel the final two days of their offseason program. The league and players union announced Wednesday that they had resolved a dispute about the team's workouts. A release said the team would cancel organized team activities scheduled for June 16 and 17.

San Francisco, Oakland and even Los Angeles area interests are ready and waiting with stadium possibilities for the 49ers if Measure J goes down in Santa Clara, which would be an upset given polls showing a majority of likely voters favor building a $937 million stadium on a parking lot adjacent to Great America theme park. San Francisco and Oakland officials in particular appear to be vying for the 49ers' attentions, both certain they offer the best locations and financial prospects for a new stadium even if Santa Clara voters approve the stadium measure. "If this doesn't pass," said former 49ers President Carmen Policy, who is consulting for the developer of a proposed commercial and residential project at San Francisco's Hunters Point that includes a stadium, "they have to look elsewhere. And we are the logical place for them to look." Advocates of luring the 49ers to Oakland, possibly in a two-team sharing arrangement with the Oakland Raiders, say San Francisco cannot match the East Bay's Advertisement transit-friendly location. Niners President Jed York has said in recent months that he would consider Oakland as an option if the Santa Clara project falls through, and Raiders CEO Amy Trask has told the Mercury News that her franchise could work with the 49ers as both teams try to replace two of the oldest stadiums in the league. "I really believe the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is the best location for a stadium for the Raiders and the 49ers," said Oakland City Councilman Ignacio de la Fuente, co-chair of the region's Coliseum Authority. York is quick to dismiss such speculation, insisting the team is focused entirely on winning the election in Santa Clara and moving forward with the planned 68,500-seat stadium that would open for the 2014 season. And if Measure J fails and the 49ers need to turn to Plan B? "There's nothing active," York said. "If the vote isn't successful in Santa Clara, we're going to do everything we can to build a new stadium in Northern California."
