Sat Aug 17 2013 | 08:32 | Raiders fear major injury for CB Porter |
The Raiders fear CB Tracy Porter suffered a severe groin injury in Friday night's preseason game against the Saints. |
Not only do the Raiders have a pathetic starting lineup, they have zero depth. So losing an entrenched top-three cornerback like Porter could force them to put someone like converted running back Taiwan Jones into the lineup. 32-year-old Joselio Hanson would be another candidate for increased snaps. |

Mon Mar 25 2013 | 16:26 | Saints showing interest in Tracy Porter |
The Saints have reportedly shown interest in free agent CB Tracy Porter. |
Porter's market is heating up, as he's reportedly drawn interest from the Raiders, Dolphins, and now the team with which he began his career. Porter spent his first four NFL seasons in New Orleans. When healthy, he's primarily a right cornerback who can drop down to cover slot receivers in the nickel. |

The Raiders have reportedly been "talking to" free agent CB Tracy Porter. |
The Dolphins also recently "made an inquiry" on Porter. The 26-year-old corner played for Raiders head coach Dennis Allen in New Orleans, and Oakland is in dire shape in the secondary. Porter should be amenable to a cheap deal. |

The Dolphins recently "made an inquiry" on free agent CB Tracy Porter. |
Porter's market has been predictably dead after seizures and a concussion ruined his 2012 season. In years prior, Porter's knee was a concern. Still only 26 years old, Porter would be worth bringing to camp to battle for a roster spot. |

Wed Mar 6 2013 | 12:35 | Tracy Porter preparing to hit open market |
Free agent CB Tracy Porter conceded that he "highly doubts" the Broncos will re-sign him. |
The Broncos haven't even reached out to Porter's agent. "They seem to be set on the guys they were playing with last year," he said. "I just kind of got lost in the shuffle. I mean that's the nature of the business. So, I just have to see what else is out there." With his seizure issues behind him, the ex-Saint shouldn't have trouble finding a job. Porter could be a steal for a corner-needy team like the Raiders. |

The Broncos are not expected to re-sign free agent CB Tracy Porter. |
Denver paid Porter $4 million in 2012 to appear in six games and struggle in the rare instances he played. In-house alternatives at right corner are Tony Carter and Omar Bolden, although the Denver Post expects the Broncos to prioritize upgrading this position. Rumors have linked them to Darrelle Revis. |

Thu Feb 14 2013 | 09:17 | Tracy Porter a fit for the Raiders |
ESPN's Bill Williamson believes free agent CB Tracy Porter could be a target for the Raiders. |
The Raiders need help at just about every position, but they have a glaring need at corner. They currently don't have a single natural, starting-caliber corner on their roster. Porter languished behind Champ Bailey, Chris Harris and Tony Carter in Denver last season, so he could be had on the cheap. |

Mon Jan 14 2013 | 08:38 | Tracy Porter: I will be on the field in 2013 |
Impending free agent CB Tracy Porter insists he will be "on the field" in 2013 after missing the majority of the 2012 season due to the after-effects of an August seizure. |
Porter began experiencing light-headedness and a rapid heartbeat in October. He returned in late December, only to go down with a concussion after just one possession. Porter lost his starting job to Chris Harris and had trouble even entering the defensive back rotation. The 26-year-old is a poor bet to re-sign in Denver. |
