Interested - Ravens?, Raiders
Feb. 15 - Kevin Johnson's decision to opt out of his deal in Baltimore could help the Ravens afford to go after Porter in free agency, according to the Baltimore Sun. Porter recently rejected a five-year, $25 million offer to re-sign with the Raiders and plans to test the market.
"I owe it to myself to get my market value, if not (sign with) some team that will pay me more than market value. I owe it to myself to find out (what I can get)," Porter told The San Francisco Chronicle.
Porter, who caught 64 passes for nearly 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns (12th best in the NFL) last season, is still upset Oakland did not offer an extension of his six-year rookie contract in 2004. The 26-year-old WR voided the final year of the deal, according to the newspaper.
