NFL Rumors: Oakland Raiders interested in Josh Freeman, Michael Vick
On Saturday, a report surfaced that Houston Texans’ quarterback Matt Schaub and New York Jets’ quarterback Mark Sanchez topped the list as far as Oakland Raiders’ quarterback targets go.
It appears those are not the only two veterans and former long-time starting quarterbacks the Raiders are looking at.
According to the NFL Network’s Albert Breer, the Raiders are also interested in former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Josh Freeman.
One team with an unresolved QB situation is Oakland. Raiders are looking at ex-Buc Josh Freeman and, if he's cut, Houston's Matt Schaub.

Breer also believes the Raiders have some interest in Michael Vick, but have made the other veterans a priority over Vick.
Based on what I'm hearing, the Raiders would kick the tires on those 2 (Freeman, Schaub) before Mike Vick, who seems unlikely to land there.

Freeman was a disaster last season and the Buccaneers parted ways with him last season after he played in just three games.
He, was, however, a four-year starter before last season. He wound up playing one game for the Vikings before suffering a concussion.
Vick lost his job with the Eagles to Nick Foles, who led the Eagles to a division title and a playoff appearance.
