The Facts:
Porter, a five-year veteran who would have been among the top unrestricted players at his position, has reached agreement on a multi-year contract extension that will keep him with the Raiders. Financial details of the contract, which Porter likely will sign Tuesday afternoon, were not immediately available. It is expected, however, that Porter will receive $8 million-$10 million in guarantees.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Porter, who posted career bests in receptions (64) and receiving yards (998) and tied his career high with nine touchdown catches last season, is a big part of the Raiders' vertical passing game, a player who starting quarterback Kerry Collins had urged the franchise to keep. Porter's solid '04 totals came despite a slow start -- he only scored one TD in the first 10 games and due in part to the rapport he developed with Collins, an excellent deep thrower.
