– Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported the Raiders could be considering dumping Dominic Rhodes. Glazer, the guy who got his hands on the New England videotapes as well as tape of the casino brawl between Levi Jones and Joey Porter, has broken more than his share of stories.
The timing seems strange on this one, however. Rhodes was already paid a $1.5 million signing bonus and is earning just over $765,000 in salary (that includes losing four weeks pay because of a substance abuse suspension), so it's not a cap move. Just outright cutting Rhodes seems unlikely after they went to the trouble of signing him even though they knew he would likely be suspended when they signed him.
With LaMont Jordan hoping to nurse a bad back through the season, the Raiders need another experienced back to go with Fargas just in case.
I've seen stubs like these reported on Yahoo Sports FF section on Rhodes, FOX Sports, KFFL, and ProFootballTalk. PFT doesn't looks more like sensationalism than news, but Yahoo and FOX are more credible.
I'd like Oakland to start using Fargas much more again, as he seemed pretty effective .... and I have him on my FF team. :D
