HOUSTON - Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh #84 of the Seattle Seahawks is upended by strong safety Dominique Barber #34 of the Houston Texans as he attempts to make a catch at Reliant Stadium on December 13, 2009 in Houston, Texas. The Seattle Seahawks, who the Raiders defeated 27-24 in their final preseason game on Thursday, are looking to trade or release wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Houshmandzadeh, who spent eight of his nine years in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, caught 79 passes for 911 yards and 3 touchdowns last season for the Seahawks. That's more than any receiver on the Raiders has had probably since Jerry Rice.
I don't think Houshmandzadeh will bring back the days of Rice and Brown to the Raiders receiving corps, but I think he'd be a productive addition to this season's young group of Raiders receivers. And personally, I'd enjoy barking out the name HOOSH-MAN-ZADDAH at home games.
HOOSH is 32 years old and can still produce. You can't argue with experience, durability and production:

Hoosh could and should be A RAIDDDAH!
-Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer on Hoosh: T. J.'s a physical guy; a physical blocker, physical when he gets the ball. He's like (the Pittsburgh Steelers') Hines Ward."[4]
