The Oakland Raiders traded quarterback Terrelle Pryor to the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, Pro Football Talk reported Monday.

Terms of the deal were not announced, according to Mike Florio.

A third-round pick in the 2011 supplemental draft, Pryor spent three seasons with the Raiders. He has one year left on his rookie contract.

Fox Sports reported over the weekend that the Raiders would cut Pryor on Monday if they were unable to trade him.

The Raiders have indicated that Pryor does not fit into their future plans. Since he is due $750,000 this season, the team reportedly is looking to get a low-round draft pick for him.

Pryor, a gifted athlete who can run, completed 156 of 272 passes for 1,798 yards with seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 11 games last year. He also ran 83 times for 576 yards with two touchdowns.

Pryor asked to be traded in January. The Raiders signed free agent quarterback Matt Schaub earlier this offseason with the intention of starting him. They also have the No. 5 pick in next month’s draft and may select a quarterback.
