RAIDERS SHOPPING MICHAEL HUFF
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 24, 2008, 2:59 p.m.
The Oakland Raiders are sniffing around to gauge interest in a potential trade involving safety Michael Huff, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT.
Huff, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, has started all 32 games of his NFL career and would be a solid addition to any team that needs help at safety. Like all Top 10 picks, however, Huff has a hefty contract that would be a factor in any trade.
As Jay Glazer of Fox reported early in the 2007 season (and as PFT noted at the time), the Raiders were calling teams in September and saying most of their defensive players, including Huff, were available via trade. After taking defensive backs in the first round of five of the last seven NFL drafts, the Raiders may feel that they’ve invested too many resources at that position.
The Raiders also reportedly believe Huff hasn’t tapped his potential, so if there’s a team out there that thinks it can tap Huff’s potential, this is a trade that could make sense.
