Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times reports that the Raiders' running back core could be shuffled in the offseason, management believes that Darren McFadden is the Raiders "best bargaining chip" to regain the multiple draft picks lost under Al Davis and Hue Jackson. McFadden has two more years left on his rookie contract at $5.65 million in 2012 and $5.86 million in 2013 and we think the team is likely overestimating McFadden's value given his injury history and teams rarely give up a passel of draft picks for a running back, in all likelihood, the Raiders are stuck with McFadden. That doesn't mean that McFadden will be the starter coming off his Lisfranc injury. The Raiders cannot trust McFadden to stay healthy as he has never played more than 13 games in a season, this makes the chance of the team using the franchise tag on Michael Bush better than 50/50.
