Raiders Expect To Give Terrelle Pryor Some Playing Time Against KC

Found December 12, 2012 on NFL Trade Rumors: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Terrelle Pryor,  Carson Palmer
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen mentioned that he expects QB Terrelle Pryor to see some playing time against the Chiefs this weekend, via the Contra Costa Times. Pryor reportedly has a “set of plays to run” in both of the team’s last two games, but he was never brought into the game. At this point in the season, the Raiders may as well see what the kid can do, given that Carson Palmer is not going to be their long-term solution. Hopefully this time Oakland will actually play him against a pretty easy opponent.

Raiders could end up letting Shane Lechler walk in free agency

Via Pro Football Zone  |  December 12, 2012
There’s a chance the Oakland Raiders could let punter Shane Lechler sign with another this offseason. The reason for this speculation is the fact that  fellow punter Marquette king was placed on injured reserve.
