Raiders Unlikely To Bring Back QB Bruce Gradkowski

Given the public endorsements for Jason Campbell as the Raiders starting quarterback from both Al Davis and Hue Jackson, it’s no surprise that Bruce Gradkowski was not tendered before Thursday’s deadline and had no talks with the club about a contract for 2011. Asked by beat writer Steve Corkran if he’d received a tender and at what level, Gradkowski said, “No, nothing,â€￾ and said there had been no contact with the Raiders about playing this season. The Raiders could still attempt to sign Gradkowski once a CBA is reached and free agency begins, but it’s more likely he’ll be looking to land a job as a backup somewhere else. The most likely scenario would have the Raiders re-signing free agent Charlie Frye and then looking for a developmental quarterback with Campbell in the last year of his contract.

This is a mistake on our part not to keep him

 

I'd have to agree...at worst, he's a quality back up...

 

This has already been anonsensical baffling offseason for the Raiders, why stop now?

 

I thought this was somewhat normal for them.

 

Keep Chuck Frye, that makes sense.
