The Facts:
Still miffed that the Raiders did not offer to extend his six-year rookie contract during the 2004 season -- before he decided to exercise a void of the final year of the deal, Porter told reporters this week, "I owe it to myself to get my market value, if not (sign with) some team that will pay me more than market value. I owe it to myself to find out (what I can get)."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As it stands, Porter's market value is about $20 million over five years, the total of the contract offered by the Raiders last month. Porter, 27, ranked 12th in the NFL last season in receiving touchdowns with nine, and finished with 64 catches for 998 yards, all career highs. After a slow start -- Porter caught only one touchdown in the Raiders' first six games -- the fifth-year veteran blossomed, catching eight touchdowns in the last six games.
