From KFFL.com and Inside Bay Area Blog, the Raiders traded wide receiver Doug Gabriel to the New England Patriots. What they received has not been made public yet.

One would think Porter will start now.

heck i would have thought so even before this

makes me think the Pats are moving on from Branch, looks like he just lost over $1 million

Yep, my thinking too, simon. Branch is a goner with Gabriel in the fold. The only question is, where to? And for what? Okay, okay, that's two questions... sorry about that!

Branch will find suitable employment...Gabriel is a UCF grad (Go Kinghts!)...I like him he has potential...that opens a spot for Jerry Porter back in Oakland does it not?

why not give him the T.O. - Keyshawn treatment ?

they wont get anything in trade to help them this year, so sit him without pay
