Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor joins PFT (Almost) Live today, via an interview that was taped earlier this morning.

He says during the interview that he hadn’t heard at all from the Raiders before the supplemental draft, and that he was thinking of a couple of other teams as the process unfolded.

“I thought Miami or maybe the Redskins,” Pryor said. “I talked to Miami a bunch of times. That’s where I thought I was gonna end up going, but I’m happy where I’m at right now. I couldn’t be happier, and I definitely appreciate the opportunity to play for the Oakland Raiders.”

Though Pryor continues to say that he’ll move to a new position if asked, he prefers not to think about that possibility until it happens. Asked to identify his biggest strength if he stays at quarterback, Pryor said, “I don’t think it’s a question of ‘If I stay.’ I will stay.”

So what can Raiders fans expect from their newest member, who’ll fly to Oakland once his contract is finalized?

“A lot of wins,” Pryor said. “Just win baby. That’s what Al Davis says and that’s all I want to do. . . . I just want to be the best, and I just want to win.”

Pryor has been saying all the right things. If he can do all the right things on the field, he’ll get those wins.
