More injuries in the Raiders backfield... they are paper thing at RB and in need of a couple of them.

Maybe we can eek a 4th rounder out of Gruden for Riddick?

Not sure what Riddick offers over Richard.

I don't think Riddick is worth a 6th

He's probably not... but supply and demand. There are not a lot of dual purpose backs available and the Raiders are in need.

The more need you have, the higher the price when supply is low.

I would be happy just to save his cap hit

Im pretty sure the lions would take a bag of popcorn to save his cap hit. Im pretty sure theyre ok with riding it out with Josh Jacobs and having Richard as a back up.

he's not a dual purpose back. He is only a pass catcher.

I feel like signing someone that can actually carry the ball regularly, like Ajayi, would be a more likely scenario than losing assets for a RB that hasn't proven he can do more than catch the ball full time.

*edit* Looks like they signed Doug Martin.
