It’s been nearly a full month since RB LaMont Jordan was told to stay off the practice field and he received permission from Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin to seek out a trade to another club. One month, yet Jordan still sits in limbo, with no takers for his services. The way we hear it, the 29-year-old’s status is unlikely to change any time soon. Sources in Oakland say teams are waiting out the Raiders, knowing that Jordan will be cut before long if no trade materializes. The most likely scenario has Jordan being released sometime before or during camp and then joining a team that has felt the injury bug bite in their backfield. There’s still an outside chance the Raiders could work a deal that brings them a low draft pick, if another team becomes desperate enough. However, by handling Jordan’s situation with such transparency, his trade value has been greatly diminished.
