Throughout their history, the Raiders have gained a reputation as a welcoming place for players who have worn out their welcome elsewhere in the NFL.

Guard Richie Incognito fits the bill after being suspended in 2013 and castigated in Ted Wells’ investigation for the way he treated Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin. Incognito recently got out of treatment for mental health issues and told Michael Silver of NFL.com that he’s open to the idea of continuing his NFL career in Oakland.

“I’m 100 percent into that,” Incognito said. “I think that would fit my personality the best. It makes so much sense. I know [offensive coordinator Greg] Olson and [offensive line coach Tony] Sparano, and I’m a loyal guy, and I’d love to play for them again. And, of course, the Raiders have that aura.”

Incognito played for Olson in St. Louis and Sparano in Miami, but there probably aren’t too many places he wouldn’t want to play right now. He said earlier this week and reiterated to Silver that he would like a chance to return to the Dolphins, but the shadow of last year, the Wells report and Incognito’s mental health concerns make him a tough sell to anyone.

Complicating matters in Oakland is the presence of defensive lineman Antonio Smith, who was suspended for two preseason games and a regular season game after an altercation with Incognito in the preseason last year. Incognito shrugged off any concerns on that front and called Smith a friend, although that may not be enough to open up the door to a job in Oakland.

:banderas: fukk it, just sign him just so we can play him against the Niners, and Jonathan Martin will be having bad memories and flashbacks just looking across the sidelines could give the Raiders an edge. :mjpls:

Pryor also didn't have great mechanics/footwork, didn't trust his ability to pass...and attempted to reckless things that he would've gotten away with at Ohio St. playing against inferior athletes.

having a shytty O line only made things worse.... i don't think ANY QB could've done well with that O Line.

You and I seen it since O$U, I remember the games when Pryor would go up against THE GRET USC and it was the same issues that he has now. My problem with the coaching staff is I don't think they've done enough to invest in Pryor either because that isn't their guy or because they don't realize what an athlete like that with QB skills could do for this team. Which is surprising since reggie comes from GB and the time A-Rod spent behind Favre was used to reconstruct his mechanics and sharpen them. I don't see why the same won't be done for TP. I was on record saying he should've stayed on the bench, I let it go when he found some success but we had no business puttin him out there if we were smart. I wouldn't of cared if we kept Flynn and won 2 games tops, coaching up an athlete like Pryor should of been a priority you can't tell me the Raiders can't find a good QB coach, or Allen couldn't encourage Pryor to seek extra help if he wants to be a starter? Wasting a top pick on QB this year would be foolish, and these FAs at QB are stop gaps for this team.
