Huff To Test Market Due To Rule

May 17, 2014 7:58 AM

Raiders safety Michael Huff's contract is expected to allow him to become a free agent. A little-known rule prevented Oakland from re-signing Huff this past season, as much as they would have liked to, according to an NFL source. Any player whose salary escalated at a higher rate than 30 percent from 2009 to 2010, as Huff's and other players' did, was precluded from signing a contract extension with his team.

Murphy Arrested For Possessing Viagra, Resisting Arrest

Sep 30, 2014 9:59 AM

Raiders wide receiver Louis Murphy was arrested in Gainesville early Sunday morning and charged with possession of a drug without a valid prescription, failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. Murphy was taken into custody shortly after midnight after a Gainesville police officer tried to pull him over because his Cadillac Escalade's stereo volume was loud. A search of Murphy's car turned up a "non-labeled prescription bottle containing 11 individual pills later identified as Viagra." Murphy could not provide a prescription for the pills, allegedly telling the officer that he had peeled the label off of the bottle "because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for it."
