The announcement of RB Darren McFadden’s signing on Friday gives the Raiders more flexibility in their ongoing negotiations about what to do with RB LaMont Jordan, sources say. There was a sense that Oakland needed to hold on to Jordan until a contract with McFadden was in place, ending the threat of a lengthy holdout. Now that the deal is done, the Raiders can move to trade or release Jordan now, with a backfield of McFadden, Justin Fargas and Michael Bush in place. Head coach Lane Kiffin has held Jordan out of practices at minicamp while Oakland pursues trade offers for him.
