Charley Casserly of CBS reports that the Oakland Raiders are willing to trade either Justin Fargas or Michael Bush.
With Darren McFadden proving to be a legitimate NFL player, the Raiders don’t need three tailbacks.
Casserly says that Bush is the more likely to be moved.
Bush and Fargas are both under contract through 2010. Fargas has higher base salaries, given that he has been in the league for more years. Bush is in his second season. He was considered to have first-round talent until he suffered a broken leg in the first game of his senior season at Louisville.

Don’t do it Al! We need to keep the Triangle of Death, trade Justin Griffith if a back has to go!

I always thought M Bush would work out better than R Bush.

I hope the Packers trade for Michael Bush. They need a powerful back. We are the worst team in the league for converting 3rd and short plays. Absolute worst because we don’t have anyone who can convert those tough yards.

This begs the question:
Why even draft McFadden if you are the Raiders?

As a Raider fan, I’d rather see Fargas go than Bush. Bush provides a nice alternative to McFadden’s style, at his age they could be a nice “Thunder and Lightning” combination.

It would be stupid to trade either one of them.

I bet Chris “crater face/professional liar” Mortensen told Casserly about this rumor…..lol…Fargas just signed a new contract….salary cap acceleration precludes this trade….Bush is just hitting his stride in his first full year and is an Al favorite…..
Standard “trade deadline” garbage….NEVER HAPPEN.

Griffith is a FB and the only REAL FB we have.
