Thomas Howard re-signs with Oakland; Rey on the radar?
Outside linebacker Thomas Howard signed his one-year tender offer with the Oakland Raiders.
The speedy defender is expected to make $1.759 million in 2010.
Oakland could deal one of their linebackers as draft time approaches. Trevor Scott, a player that came on strong in 2009 after his transition from defensive end, could snag Howard’s position along the linebacker corps. Kamerion Wimbley is expected to start at the opposite end, with Ricky Brown and Kirk Morrison dueling for the top spot in the middle of the formation.
No player on the unit except for Wimbley should feel secure about their roster spot in 2010 as a member of the Silver & Black.
Duke University linebacker Vincent Rey has visited with the Raiders according to a report on the National Football Post. He’s projected as a 4th round selection or later in next week’s draft.
