Porter seen pumping fist, laughing as Brooks is sacked

OAKLAND, Calif. -- When Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss said of his team, "things are crazy around here," he wasn't kidding.

Porter's role on the team has greatly diminished after he clashed with new coach Art Shell in the offseason over his offseason workout plans. Porter demanded a trade at the start of training camp, but the Raiders have declined to grant his wish.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported on its Web site that disgruntled receiver Jerry Porter who was inactive for the 27-0 drugging the Raiders absorbed from the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, was seen laughing and pumping his fist on the sidelines when Raiders teammate Aaron Brooks was sacked for the seventh time.

Porter was slowed by a calf injury early in training camp but was healthy for the final three preseason games and was not listed on the team's injury report leading up to the game. He was on the sideline in street clothes for this game.

"As far as Jerry Porter is concerned, I really don't know where he stands, what the organization has in store for him," Moss told Fox Sports Radio last week. "So the only thing I can do is worry about the guys they're putting on the field."

Porter led the Raiders with 76 catches last season and had 942 yards receiving and five touchdown receptions in 2005.

He has not been listed as a starter all of training camp, even after the Raiders traded starter Doug Gabriel to New England on Sept. 2.

Time for the Raiders to dump him.

That doesn't sound good, Porter celebrating after his own QB is sacked, but I'll just take it for what it's worth... Some writer could be trying to put his own spin on things...Hard for me to believe someone would do that, espeicaly when it's your own team mate.

OMG

the Raiders are just awful.
I think they would lose to Green Bay.
Randy is going to be really dissatisfied pretty quick.
They don't even know how to use him.
Maybe the best receiver in the NFL and they don't know how to get him the ball.

Nah Porter would be a headache on our team. We should have grabbed Stallworth or Branch (too expensive?) when we had the chance. Overall, we are ok @ WR. Childress had no big name guys when he was in Philly (Before TO) & they got to the NFC title game 3 times (before TO). But we should consider Q Morgan. Billy McMullen had a good catch in the game. We may see more of him
