The Raiders have entered trade negotiations with McCown, ESPN.com's John Clayton reports. Oakland continues to ponder the possibility of using the No. 1 pick on LSU QB JaMarcus Russell, but the team would like to add a reliable veteran before the draft.

The Raiders have only Andrew Walter and Josh Booty as their main quarterback options. McCown fits because he's had starting experience and is mobile in the pocket. Plus, he has a strong arm to be able to throw downfield.

McCown signed with the Lions last season with the idea of being the starter, but he lost his job early to Jon Kitna. Instead of pouting and sulking, McCown was a model teammate. He even helped out when the Lions needed someone to run some wide receiver routes.

McCown is in the final year of a two-year contract. McCown, who is scheduled to earn $2 million this season, is definitely interested in going to the Raiders. If the Raiders acquire McCown, it would take the pressure off playing Russell early in the 2007 season.

A guy who has proven he can be a starting QB in the NFL or a guy with a cannon, but always played poorly against the top tier defenses(with a HUGE upside)...hmmmmm.....
