The Raiders acquired Matt Schaub from the Houston Texans last month to be their starter,. Second-year quarterback Matt McGloin likely will be the backup — making Pryor expendable, after he started nine games last season.
Tucker points out that Blaine Gabbert, a flop for three years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, brought a sixth-round pick in trade with the San Francisco 49ers last month. Gabbert is expected to be a backup.
So, Pryor should be worth at least that much on the market.
"He has a similar physical skill set to Colin Kaepernick [the 49ers' starter]. He's shown the ability to give his team a chance to win, a team in Oakland that was not very good,'' Tucker said of Pryor. "Blaine Gabbert almost never gave the Jacksonville Jaguars a chance to win.
"That's all you want from a backup quarterback, a guy that gives you a shot to win those games, even if it's unconventional. I don't care,'' he said.
