LOL at thinking ANY team would want Clausen.

If the Raiders sent an offer to Josh Mccown then they'll gladly take Clausen.

ugh, it's not about this year...there won't be any trades.

I would love to unload Clausen to the Raiders but let's face facts,it.s not going to happen.

The latest word out is that the Raiders have reached out to free agent QB David Garrard after Jason Campbell suffered a broken collarbone in Sunday's victory.

It was said that Garrard and his agent, Al Irby, plan to discuss the situation and get back to the Raiders on Monday afternoon.Free agent Josh McCown also has been contacted by Oakland.

clausen doesnt have any trade value. id rather keep him and develop him as a backup quarterback. he is progressing, just not as quickly as newton.

Clausen is white and has no speed. Raiders aren't interested.

this. who the hell would want him after our disaster of a season last year.

the raidahs want a veteran qb who they can plug immediately and trust not to fug up (much the way campbell had been doing). clausen doesn't provide that. garrard/palmer is who they should be eyeing

[X-Clown]

If i'm not mistaken, the Raiders don't even have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round pick in the upcoming draft anyway.

What brand of glue are you huffing?

And to answer my own original question, no personally I wouldn't trade for Clausen. Howver, the Raiders are known to do things other franchises wouldn't. And beyond that, they are trying to win this year.

My original point is that the Raiders are desperately looking into QB options and the Panthers have a QB in Clausen that could potentially play but has no future here.

After this season, Clausen has no trade value with the available QB's coming out. Only time Panthers might get anything for him is now.

If they can't or won't trade him thinking he's better served being a backup, fine. However, he's never active and probably won't be barring injury either this year or maybe again ever here. I just think if I'm the Panthers FO it's something that should be put out there.

And I'm not some bandwagon or Johnny-come-lately fan. I've been a PSL holder since 2004 and have endured the whole of Panther football, good and bad.

We have a true franchise QB now and need to do everything in our power to fill the holes in the team around him. If we can get extra draft picks, great.

If Cam got hurt and we had to go back to Jimmy, we're screwed anyway. Investing much in a backup in pointless in today's NFL. If you lose your #1 QB, your season's shot anyway...
