Raiders open to Richie Incognito deal

[Johnnydollaz89]

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis said Monday he would "have to think about" signing former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito, and also that he has no current plans to move the franchise out of Oakland if progress can be made toward a new stadium.
Davis made his comments after a morning session at the NFL's owners meetings.

Incognito, a free agent in the wake of Ted Wells' report on the Dolphins' bullying scandal, has said he hopes to return to the NFL. Two of the teams he's mentioned publicly as potential landing spots are Miami and Oakland.
Dolphins officials have said that Incognito will not return to the team.
When asked about the possibility of Incognito signing with his team, Davis said "Ask Reggie," referring to Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie.
Davis also was asked what his reaction would be if McKenzie or coach Dennis Allen came to him to broach the subject of signing Incognito.
"I'd have to think about that," Davis said.
Davis also touched on the Raiders' attempts to get a new stadium in Oakland. He'd told CSNBayArea.com on Sunday that a potential return to Los Angeles if a new stadium isn't in the offing was "something that I've definitely thought about."
Davis was asked Monday if the team's fans should be worried about a move, and he said his focus currently is getting a deal done in Oakland.
"I don't know how to answer that," Davis said initially.
When asked if Raiders fans should be worried specifically about a move to Los Angeles, Davis repeated that his priority was keeping the team in Oakland.
"No, not at this time," he said. "We're trying to get something done in Oakland. We'll see what happens there. If Oakland doesn't happen, then we'll go from there."
The team signed a one-year extension to its stadium lease in Oakland for the 2014 season.

Perfect fit. It's a short drive across the Bay so Richie can hang out with his best friend after practice, too.

 

[NEhomer]

Is Richie OK with their uniforms being black?

If I was a Raider fan I would be jumping up and down for the franchise to sign him, perfect fit and would be a great addition.....

He'd be perfect in Philly. Fit right in ,throwing snowballs at and harassing Santa. City of brotherly love

I am sure they have some good Ferrari dealerships there in Oakland. I wouldn't have it any other way. The Black Hole, makes perfect sense. In fact I think Al Davis stipulated it in his will.

Were you even alive when "snowballs where thrown at the drunk Santa?"

I think you should go to Seattle Ritchie, you could hang out with the Cable Guy. realistically I think we've made enough moves on the offense of line in free agency this year already, there are a couple young studs in the draft vs another player that's definitely on the downside of his career.

Missed that one Mcnabb but imo the Jets fans have everyone beat. They will harass a pregnant woman if she is wearing the wrong jersey, or knock her over in a beer line
