In this morning’s One-Liners, MDS referenced an article that said Al Davis was the only reason Lamont Jordan was still a Raider. Davis must have had an epiphany over his grapefruit this morning because Jordan’s time in silver and black appears to be over.

Lane Kiffin told the running back that the team was moving forward without him and gave Jordan and his agent the okay to start investigating potential new homes. “We have not had any success at this point in doing so because there are many moving pieces to such a trade” agent Alvin Keels said in an e-mail. “However, with new developments going on around the league, maybe something can be done in the coming days.”

Jordan is currently fourth on the depth chart at tailback and, barring an injury, doesn’t figure to move up the ladder. He was due to make $4.7 million with the Raiders this season.  Because June 2 has come and gone, if Jordan leaves via trade the Raiders will be able to spread any salary cap hit over the next two seasons.  The same is true if no trade materializes and the Raiders release him.
