MCCOWN WINS QUARTERBACK CHALLENGE

To the extent that anyone cares, a reader in the Cayman Islands tells us that Raiders quarterback Josh McCown won the 2007 Quarterback Challenge, which was conducted today at the Cayman Islands International School Park.

McCown was traded to Oakland from Detroit, where he signed as a free agent after his rookie contract with the Cardinals expired. He has 22 career starts in five years.

He might be the starter with the Raiders when the 2007 season begins, but he likely won't be when it ends, given that the team selected JaMarcus Russell with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

But, hey, no one can take away from McCown the fact that he won a meaningless event that won't be televised until August.


Who knows how reliable this info us but just an update.

I thought the Cardinals were in Arizona?

Your reading comprehension is lacking, my friend.

It's saying he was traded to Oakland from Detroit.

You got that. The second part, however is poorly written.

But it says:

After playing out his rookie contract in Arizona, he signed a free agent contract with Detroit.

Arizona->Detroit->Oakland.
