NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the Oakland Raiders have
traded the quarterback to the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source
involved with the process. The Raiders announced they received a 2014
seventh-round draft pick in return.
The San Francisco 49ers and the Seahawks were both pursuing Pryor, Rapoport
reported.
ProFootballTalk first reported news of the move.
"Terrelle is an incredibly explosive athlete and we're excited for him to
come in and compete," said Seahawks general manager John Schneider.
The trade comes one day before Oakland begins offseason workouts. The Raiders
were reportedly prepared to release Pryor if they didn't find a trade partner
by the start of workouts, but the 49ers' interest prompted Seattle to part
with a low draft pick rather that take a chance on waiting. The team is
comfortable with Matt McGloin as the backup behind new starter Matt Schaub,
who was acquired last month in a trade with the Houston Texans.
General manager Reggie McKenzie told reporters at the NFL Annual Meeting last
month that Pryor asked to be let go. "Terrelle wants to start so bad,"
McKenzie said. "I'll visit with him. We'll talk to him."
Citing Raiders sources, however, Rapoport reported on Monday that "The Tebow
Effect" was one reason for the team letting Pryor go. He was popular with
fans but not on the field much, thus becoming divisive through no fault of
his own.
Pryor gets his wish for a fresh start, but he won't be any closer to a
starting job. Russell Wilson is entrenched as the starter in Seattle, and
Tarvaris Jackson just signed a guaranteed deal to remain Wilson's backup.
Pryor will likely battle with B.J. Daniels for the No. 3 spot.

Strange but true: Seahawks now have 2 QBs on roster scheduled to make more
money next season than Russell Wilson (T. Jackson, T. Pryor).
