FOX/PFT: Raiders Defensive Player available for Peanuts?
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Oakland Raiders have been calling teams and offering up any of their defensive players for trade -- with only four of them off of the block.
The guys who won't be traded included defensive end Derrick Burgess, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, linebacker Kirk Morrison, and linebacker Thomas Howard.
Curiously omitted from this list is safety Michael Huff, the No. 7 overall pick in 2006.
On the other side of the ball, Chris Mortensen of ESPN says that rookie quarterback JaMarcus Russell could take the field by Thanksgiving weekend, and that he is progressing well in practice.
