WEEI in Boston's Jon Meterparel reported Tuesday that the Patriots are close to acquiring Raiders WR Jerry Porter, but other sources including NFL.com's Pat Kirwan have dismissed the claim.

 

Don't call them the New England Raiders just yet. Meterparel hasn't been the most reliable reporter in the past, although the possible deal makes sense on the surface. If Porter is available in your fantasy league, it's a good idea to pick him up in case.

Meter is a joke. He doesn't have much credibility at all.

It would make sense, but he's not as good as Branch.

No it wouldnt make sense. Neither does TO, or Moss or Chad Johnson, or Keyshawn or any other WR in the league with any sort of a ME ME ME image. When was the last time they brought in someone with a history of trouble? (Corey Dillon excluded because of the circumstances of the bengals and is for the most part, a pretty quiet individual.) They stay away from these types of players. Remember what happened with Steve Martin a few years back?
