The Oakland Raiders acquired running back Mike Goodson from the Carolina Panthers on Friday in exchange for offensive tackle Bruce Campbell, a trade both teams hope will improve their depth.

Goodson, who ran for 501 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons with Carolina, became expendable after the team signed free agent running back Mike Tolbert earlier this month.

The Raiders needed depth at running back after losing Michael Bush to Chicago in free agency. Starter Darren McFadden has been injury prone, missing 19 games in his four seasons and Taiwan Jones played sparingly as a rookie and is seen as more of a change-of-pace back.

With only five draft picks and none until the end of the third round, new Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie is trying to fill as many holes as he can on the roster through free agency and trades.

In three seasons with the Panthers, Goodson played in 28 games with three starts.

He rushed 125 times for 501 yards and three touchdowns and added 43 receptions for 329 yards. Goodson, 24, had three straight 100-yard rushing games and three touchdowns late in the 2010 season under former coach John Fox in 2010.

Bears sign RB Michael Bush to four-year deal worth $14M

RB Michael Bush agrees to terms with the Bears, per league source. Four years, $14 million.

Fantasy Impact: 

This is not the ideal (or even a good) landing spot for Bush, who has feature back talent but will find himself behind Matt Forte. It also kills the potential value of Kahlil Bell, should he remain in Chicago. The Raiders will feature Darren McFadden, but he has been injury-prone in his career, and at this point Marcel Reece and Taiwan Jones are next in line for touches. If DMC were to go down again, Reece and Jones would likely form a "Thunder & Lightning" combo.

Report: Peyton Hillis has considered retirement

The Browns have decided not to use their franchise tag on running back Peyton Hillis, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Throughout the past season, Hillis has wavered about whether he wants to continue playing football, and even considered joining the CIA, according to team sources.

It is unclear if he actually pursued a career with the CIA.

Hillis told Browns coaches as recently as the end of the season that he was contemplating retirement, though it now looks as if he will continue playing, the sources said.

But Hillis has felt defeated throughout his time in football, whether it was being benched at Arkansas in favor of Felix Jones and Darren McFadden, being traded by the Denver Broncos, or being unable to procure the long-term deal he desired in Cleveland.

It led him to tell Browns coaches that he didn't know whether he wanted to play football anymore.

Now Hillis is about to become a free agent and test his value on the open market.

Browns general manager Tom Heckert told ESPN's Josina Anderson Wednesday that the team would like to keep Hillis if the contract is reasonable.

The CIA?!?

Report: Raiders have "zero intention" of franchising Michael Bush

Raiders beat writer Jerry McDonald on the future of Michael Bush in Oakland:

"The vibe I’m getting is that the Raiders have zero intention of franchising leading rusher Michael Bush, given their commitment to a normal salary structure and the presence of strong safety Tyvon Branch also as an unrestricted free agent. Coach Dennis Allen has talked up Darren McFadden, which means he’s the feature back, and there’s no way the Raiders commit more than $7 million to a complementary back. And that’s probably what Bush is. He did an admirable job taking over when McFadden’s mid-foot sprain derailed his season, with one of the best games any Raiders’ running back (Marcus, Bo, Napoleon Kaufman, you name it) has ever had again the San Diego Chargers. While it’s conceivable Bush numbers tailed off toward the end of the season because the Raiders became more predictable or the line wasn’t blocking as well, the fact is it happened."

Fantasy Impact: 

Bush averaged 3.8 ypc in 2011, while Darren McFadden averaged 5.4 ypc before getting injured. The Raiders place so much emphasis in their running game that it would be surprising if they let Bush walk, especially considering McFadden's injury history. Bush is more than capable of being a workhorse back, and if he lands in a good situation, he should be a productive RB2 in 2012.
