The Oakland Raiders are looking to move on from quarterback Terrelle Pryor and all indications are that the feeling is very mutual. While Pryor has talked to his agent about asking for a release, it appears the Raiders are looking to trade him if they can before a release becomes necessary.

As far as Pryor’s future with the team, there really is none. With the acquisition of Matt Schaub from the Houston Texans to the team touting Matt McGloin as their backup as well as scouting draft prospects at the position, Pryor has no place with the Raider anymore and teams who may want him are well aware of this.

If nothing happens by April, cutting Pryor seems to be the only option. They can’t keep him on roster and he doesn’t want to be the third or fourth fiddle on the team. Pryor may still have an NFL future somewhere, it just most definitely won’t be in Oakland.
