After a below average year from the tight end position, the Oakland Raiders appear to be entertaining the idea of Martellus Bennett as a possible free agent signee.
When Lee Smith went down with a broken leg, it forced Clive Walford to change his role for the entire year, and it also elevated Mychal Rivera to be an active roster member. The two combined for 51 receptions for 551 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Not exactly eye-popping numbers.
It was recently reported by Vic Tafur of SF Chronicle that the Raiders are concerned about Walford ever being the same player he once was because of the ATV accident that he was in about a year ago.
