Terrelle Pryor, Oakland Raiders Agree On Four-Year Deal, According To Report
Because of the unique terms of Pryor’s eligibility in the supplemental draft, he will be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season. However, Pryor does have an opportunity to get one game under his belt before his punishment begins.
Pryor will be able to practice immediately after signing and play in the remaining two exhibition games. But he will not be eligible to practice with or play for Oakland during the regular season until the team’s sixth game after being handed a five-game suspension by the NFL.
While suspended, Pryor can do individual work with the Raiders’ coaching staff, but cannot practice with the team. He also won’t be paid for the first five weeks of the season.
