The Facts:
The Raiders cleared some much-needed salary-cap room by restructuring the Gannon's contract on Friday, according to NFL Management Council figures. Gannon, who turns 40 this year, still is recovering from the broken neck vertebra he sustained in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 26. He missed the rest of the season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Some observers believe the Raiders would have preferred Gannon retire rather than try a comeback from a broken neck at age 39, but the feisty veteran signal caller obviously had other ideas. Despite Gannon's return, Kerry Collins is now the established starter.
