J.P. Losman, last seen leading the Las Vegas Locomotives to the UFL championship, has agreed to terms to join the Raiders, reports Mike Florio.
The report was confirmed by NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi.
Bruce Gradkowski, who had started four games for the Raiders this season, missed the second half of his team's 34-13 loss to the Washington Redskins with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee and a partially torn MCL in his right knee. A second opinion Tuesday confirmed that result. On Monday, Raiders coach Tom Cable said that wasn't quite ready to elevate former No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell back into the starting role, and that he wouldn't rule out third-stringer Charlie Frye as an option if Gradkowski couldn't play. A decision on the team's starting quarterback for Week 15 is expected Wednesday.
That's Charlie Frye, who has played in just three games in the last four seasons. Russell has gone from No. 1 overall draft pick to now fighting it out with Charlie Frye and J.P. Losman. Yep.

when JP was in buffalo he was not that good though it was not his fault as a bills fan i liked him when he was drafted, he had a raw talent that need to be coached to become a nfl passer,he did not have that in buffalo 3 different head coaches 3 different systems,plus broke his leg in training camp.also playing behind a terrable O line didnt help,hes a smart kid with a rocket arm and i wish him all the luck in oakland.but going from a bad team to an even worse team does not look to good for him
