The Facts:
Al Davis backed the way Art Shell has handled disgruntled receiver Porter and didn't believe Porter's trade demand or problems with Shell would hinder the team. "If you think the locker room is that important, I don't," Davis said. "But we're talking about one guy. And I don't think he'll make any impression whatsoever. He's a good guy, but he just lost his way a little bit."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Davis said he told Porter and his agent that the Raiders would be willing to trade him -- for equal value in players or draft picks and if Porter gives back the $4 million bonus he received this year. Porter has declined to talk to the media since making his demand public last week.
