Raiders Could Decide to Trade McFadden

Found January 25, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darren McFadden,  Michael Bush,  Taiwan Jones
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders

Darren-mcfadden
According to Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times,  the best way for the Oakland Raiders to accumulate more draft picks might be for general manager Reggie McKenzie to trade running back Darren McFadden. It would make a lot of sense to deal McFadden away,  since he’s had trouble staying healthy and the Raiders already have Michael Bush who can easily be their lead back along with Taiwan Jones as their change of pace back. Bush is a free agent and there’s a good chance that the Raiders will place the franchise tag on him.

I guess Lane Kiffin‘s stint with the Oakland Raiders was memorable. As much as I want to act like SportsNation made a mistake, I’d prefer to think this was a blatant insult to the terrible coaching job Kiffin did in the NFL. Either way, the guy is a cheesedick. Cheers mate.
