Raiders sign Frye to be sixth QB on roster

By Joe Zedalis

The Oakland Raiders have added a sixth quarterback to their roster — journeyman Charlie Frye —  according to Raiderbeat.com.

Frye, 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, played for the Seattle Seahawks last season as a backup to Matt Hasselbeck(notes) and Seneca Wallace(notes).

Frye, 27, worked out for the Raiders in March but wasn't offered a contract at the time. He joins starter JaMarcus Russell(notes), backup Jeff Garcia(notes), Bruce Gradkowski(notes), Andrew Walter(notes) and Danny Southwick on the roster, according to the report.

Raiderbeat.com believes Frye's signing is yet another strong signal that Walter's days are numbered wearing a silver-and-black uniform. Walter is in the final year of his contract with the Raiders and has made it clear that he isn't happy being kept around any longer.

Walter hasn't attended any offseason workouts other than the mandatory mini camp in early May. Signing Frye makes it more likely that the Raiders have had enough with Walter's attitude and are about to dump him, assuming they can't find a team willing to trade for him, according to the report.

    Charlie Fry is still in the league? How the Raider can avoid having the worst record in the AFC is completely beyond me...unless maybe Fry Cook's old pals in Cleveland somehow get the job done and finish 2-14.

    You would think outta 6 QB's, ONE of them would be somewhat good.

    The really don't have 6, but 5. Crybaby Walter is done and they are simply getting the most competition for the #3 spot. Jamarcus and Garcia are two solid starters.

    You guys do realize that it's June, and they haven't gotten anywhere near training camp? By the time preseason starts, at least two of these guys are gonna be cut...

    You got to have someone to chuck the ball in training camp. Russell can't throw all the balls. Walters won't show up, gradowski sucks, and who in the world is Danny Southwick? Might as well give Frye the rock when Russell and Garcia are tired. Competition baby.
