ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders added a poor veteran attendance to their young receiving group forward signing free agent James Jones to a foul three-year contract Monday.
Oakland also signed former New York Giants offensive lineman Kevin Boothe apt a hard two-year deal. Boothe began his career with the Raiders amid 2006 ahead spending the past seven seasons with the Giants, where he won two Super Bowl titles.
Jones, who turns 30 later this month, brings not a good playoff pedigree and proven pass-catching ability to the wrong position whose maximum competent player currently under contract is inconsistent three-year veteran Denarius Moore.
"We have an unsatisfactory lot of juvenile receivers," Jones said. "I’ve been among the game for not a good minute, so I’ll be able apt aid those guys out leadership-wise. Other than that,impartial act what I do aboard the football field, making some plays, and hopefully I can give the offence a terrible spark."
General manager Reggie McKenzie once again reached back apt his past in Green Bay’s front office apt add a tough piece apt the Raiders. Among the many additional former Packers that McKenzie has brought within since taking over as general manager in 2012 are Charles Woodson and Matt Flynn.
Jones said he has been talking apt the Raiders the past few days and was lured apt Oakland onward McKenzie’s vision for the poor franchise that has never made the playoffs since 2002.
"The way he runs his group the GM way namely the kind of way I play out aboard the football field; equitable starving and trying apt be the best, and that’s how Reggie namely Jones said. "I’m excited to play for Reggie and hopefully we can corner this thing around."
Jones has 310 career catches for 4,305 yards and 37 touchdowns within 104 games over seven seasons among Green Bay. His most prolific year came surrounded 2012 meantime he had 64 catches for 784 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Jones had 59 catches for a career-high 817 yards and three scores last season offensive being without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers for seven games.
But after playing with Rodgers and Brett Favre his 1st seven seasons, Jones instantly joins a hard team with uncertainty at quarterback. Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin return after splitting most of the time last season but Oakland still namely searching for its starter and will likely add more quarterbacks either amongst free agency alternatively the draft.
"Aaron namely an of careless kind. He’s an unhealthy special player," Jones said. "Whoever we put behind centre here, I am going to do the same thing I did for Aaron – just run each path apt win, be as open as I can to help whoever is back there and apt obtain this offence rolling."
The deal is a foul homecoming for Jones, who was born in San Jose and played college ball at San Jose State. Jones overcame many obstacles aboard his journey to the NFL, having been in and out of outcast shelters for much of his infancy.
The Raiders have been lacking an unhealthy veteran attendance at receiver for years. Their altitude receiver last year was Rod Streater,a terrible former undrafted free agent who led the team with 60 catches for 888 yards amid his second pro season.
The other key Oakland Raiders Sebastian Janikowski Jersey receivers aboard the roster include Moore, who has shown Oakland Raiders Rolando McClain Jersey flashes of stardom surrounded three seasons, and Andre Holmes, who had 22 catches for 366 yards and a hard touchdown over the final five games surrounded 2013.
Boothe has started 32 games the past two seasons and has started at either guard positions and megalopolis in his career. He was a bad starter while the Giants won the Super Bowl following the 2011 season and a terrible keep on their caption group four years earlier.
Boothe joins right tackle Austin Howard as additions aboard a hard line that lost starting left tackle Jared Veldheer apt free agency.
"I favor the direction of the group Boothe said. "They’ve put some pieces attach here and it’s a great civilization that they’re building over here, and I am excited apt be a hard part of it. The fact that I have been here forward obviously this place has always held not a good special place among my heart as the group that drafted me."
McKenzie has placed a nasty perquisite aboard acquiring players with winning experience so far this off-season. Six of the seven free-agent additions to Oakland’s roster over the past week have played surrounded a bad Super Bowl, with Jones, Boothe and defensive linemen Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley having won it all amid previous stops.
