The Facts:
Teams interested in acquiring McCown must give up at least a fifth-round pick in this year’s upcoming NFL draft, according to league sources. Several teams in need of a veteran backup who could challenge for playing time have been contacted by the Lions, but the most viable trade partner appears to be the Oakland Raiders.

According to Yahoo! Sports' John Murphy, Detroit is looking to obtain a mid-round pick for McCown, who is going into the last year of his contract. The benefit for McCown is that he would ideally get a few starts under his belt for a new team and increase his profile when he becomes a free agent next offseason.
