Pryor, who was chosen in the third round in the 2011 supplemental draft by the Raiders, threw for 1,798 yards, seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 11 games last year with Oakland. The Raiders traded Pryor to the Seahawks in the offseason for a seventh-round pick in last May's draft.

The St. Louis Rams might have interest in Pryor after losing starting QB Sam Bradford to a season-ending knee injury. The Rams will start Shaun Hill under center but might pick up Pryor as a backup.
