The Facts: Given the public endorsements for Jason Campbell as the Raiders starting QB from both Al Davis and Hue Jackson, it’s no surprise that Gradkowski was not tendered before Thursday’s deadline and had no talks with the club about a contract for 2011. Asked if he’d received a tender and at what level, Gradkowski said, “No, nothing,” and said there had been no contact with the Raiders about playing this season.

Diehards Line:A year ago, the Raiders gave Gradkowski a second-round tender which paid him just under $1.8 million last year. Gradkowski started eight games for the Raiders over two seasons, winning three. But on Jan. 18, Davis, when talking about the QB position, made reference to Gradkowski’s inability to remain healthy. ... According to Tribune staffer Jerry McDonald, the Raiders could still attempt to sign Gradkowski once a CBA is reached and free agency begins, but it’s more likely he’ll be looking to land a job as a backup somewhere else. The most likely scenario would have the Raiders re-signing free agent Charlie Frye and then looking for a developmental QB with Campbell in the last year of his contract. Kyle Boller, the backup to Campbell when Gradkowski went down, is also a free agent.
