<p style="background-color:transparent;">NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders agreed to terms with SLB Bruce Irvin, formerly of the Seahawks,


Being dubbed a "pass rusher" by the media, Irvin has just 22 career sacks through four full seasons. He's more of a run-stopping strong-side linebacker and should greatly improve that area of Oakland's defense. He could also be asked to play defensive end after Justin Tuck retired, Aldon Smith got suspended, and Mario Edwards suffered what's believed to be a potentially career-threatening neck injury as a 2015 rookie. Irvin's signing reunites him with DC Ken Norton, who coached LBs in Seattle through the 2014 season. The Raiders had a boat load of money to spend, and have now landed LT Kelechi Osemele and Irvin as free agents.
