NAPA, Calif. — Quarterback Terrelle Pryor agreed to a four-year contract with the Raiders on Thursday, three days after being picked in the third round of the NFL supplemental draft.
Pryor can start practicing with Oakland today. The Raiders play their third exhibition game Sunday against the Saints, and it’s extremely unlikely Pryor will play. The Raiders then will have three practices before the exhibition finale at Seattle on Sept. 2. After that game, Pryor will be ineligible to practice with the Raiders while serving a five-game suspension.
Munchak denies trade talk
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Coach Mike Munchak said the Titans haven’t talked about trading Chris John- son, and the answer would be no if the disgruntled running back asked for such a move.
“We would figure he’s under contract for two years, he’s going to be a Titan and we would hope a longer term than that,” Munchak said. “But I don’t think that’s anything we would even give any consideration to.”
