The Raiders are reportedly interested in free agent OTs Marvel Smith and Khalif Barnes.

Mario Henderson is still raw at left tackle and incumbent RT Cornell Green is no great shakes on the strong side. The Raiders want to sign one veteran free agent tackle and possibly add another in the draft.

Free agent OT Khalif Barnes is visiting the Raiders on Wednesday.

Similar to Oakland’s opening-day left tackle in 2008, Kwame Harris, Barnes is poor in pass protection. He may be viewed as a right tackle in Oakland.

Free agent OT Khalif Barnes remains in Napa Valley Thursday and the Raiders are hoping to sign him today.

The Raiders could turn their attention to Terrell Owens once they get Barnes signed. He’d be a candidate to start at left or right tackle in Oakland.

Despite reports to the contrary, Khalif Barnes’ agent now says his client will not sign with the Raiders.

Nor will he sign with the 49ers. The agent said that Barnes will sign with “one of two other teams,” so it sounds like he has multiple suitors outside the Bay area. The Raiders are doing a lot of wining and dining but very little actual signing.

Free agent OT Khalif Barnes is expected to sign a “multi-year deal” with the Raiders, according to the National Football Post.

He drew no interest elsewhere after the Saints re-signed Jon Stinchcomb. Barnes, 27, figures to get a better deal than Oakland gave Kwame Harris last year. Harris’ “three-year” contract basically voided after one season.

Raiders RG Cooper Carlisle has slipped in each of the last two years, according to beat writer Jerry McDonald.

The Raiders are likely hoping that Khalif Barnes or project rookie Bruce Campbell will beat out Carlisle, but we don’t see it happening. Carlisle, entering his age-33 season, will get the chance to stave off his decline.

Raiders re-signed OT Khalif Barnes.

Jacksonville’s former longtime left tackle started all 16 games on the right side in Oakland last year. The 30-year-old graded out poorly as both a run and pass blocker by Pro Football Focus, however. Barnes will face competition for the job in training camp, but Oakland’s new zone-blocking scheme may help him.

The Contra Costa Times expects Khalif Barnes to be the Raiders’ starting right tackle.

Barnes wasn’t a shoo-in to keep his job when he re-signed in March, but the Raiders didn’t draft any tackles. Barnes struggled mightily last season and is an odd fit for Oakland’s new zone-blocking scheme. Joseph Barksdale might get a look, but he’s another blocker with heavy feet and poor system fit. Right tackle could be a major trouble spot for the Raiders this year.
