Oakland Raiders Rumors: LaMont Jordan to become a Detroit Lion

In the ongoing saga of the Oakland Raiders trying to get something more than a six pack of Icehouse in return for LaMont Jordan , there are reports that he has a visit coming up with the Detroit Lions.

Lets just get rid of him and move on with our new young team! We have three good runningbacks and hopefully we can get something in return for him!

lamont jordans career is over. it was done a few years ago. he had a couple good seasons and i admit, i thought he was going to be a good RB.

What??? He was having his best year last year until he got hurt....you are way off..I'll admit he is getting up there in age...but if he can stay healthy he has a couple more good years left in him...he didn't have a ton of playing in the first part of his career so he still has young legs...

Agreed. When healthy, Jordan is everything you want in a RB. He should be around for a couple of more years. Even if he plays 10 out of 16 for some team, he will make a difference in the win column.

Warren Sapp was quoted as calling LaMont Jordan as the 'worse offseason workout guy i have ever seen". I can believe it. Jordan ran his heart out to try to make some money but got hurt cuz hes never in any kind of football shape. Good riddance i say.

I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of Sapps mouth...He talks so much garbage you can't believe it....Lamont was having a great year until he got hurt....So I won't judge him for , he left it all on the field. I wish him well where ever he goes.

Maybe Sapp was trying to motivate Jordan in some way or felt Jordan could be the best with a little more effort in the off-season. Regardless, with current set of RBs, the Raiders can part with his contract and talent. He will be a good pick-up for some team. It seems Detroit could use his talents and Jordan could use the opportunity.

I don't believe anything Warren Sapp says. I think Jordan will be a good fit in Detroit. I just wonder what we would get in exchange for him...

With Jordan it will all depend on how good the O-Line is...he could stay healthy with a good O-Line...I hope he does well...
