RAIDERS, RAVENS LOOKING AT MARVEL SMITH
Steelers left tackle Marvel Smith has been hampered by a back problem for an extended period of time. After two surgeries in two years, he's now a free agent at the age of 30.
And though it remains to be seen whether he receives the type of offer that goes to a high-end left tackle who makes it to free agency, multiple franchises already are interested, according to Albert Breer of SportingNews.com.
The two interested teams are the Raiders and the Ravens.
In Oakland, Kwame Harris recently was released, so Smith makes sense. In Baltimore, Smith could result in the displacement of Willie Anderson, who was signed after being dumped in the final preseason roster cuts by the Bengals.
