fingfootball Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 link ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders agreed to terms on a one-year contract with former Kansas City Chiefs safety Greg Wesley on Tuesday, adding depth to the position on the eve of training camp. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Wesley was happy to remain in the AFC West and looked forward to playing against the Chiefs twice this season. Wesley gives the Raiders depth at safety behind starters Gibril Wilson and Michael Huff. Wilson signed a $39 million, six-year contract that included about $16 million in guaranteed money after winning the Super Bowl last season with the New York Giants. Huff, Oakland's first-round pick in 2006, is moving to his more natural free safety position after playing his first two seasons at strong safety. Wesley will compete with fourth-round pick Tyvon Branch, special teams star Jarrod Cooper and Hiram Eugene for a backup spot with the Raiders. The Raiders had been seeking better tacklers at safety after allowing a league-worst 4.8 yards per carry last season. Wesley, a third-round pick out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff in 2000, was released last week by the Chiefs. He was a starter for his first seven seasons before being relegated to a backup role last season. Kansas City had little need for Wesley after drafting North Carolina State safety DaJuan Morgan in the third round in April and he had asked the Chiefs to be traded or released.

Hat Trick Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey Greg, the Chiefs look forward to playing agianst YOU too It'll be fun watching you run to the sideline and throw your shoulder at a offensive player as they bounce off you and run into the EZ. Or how about watching you run like heck to cover the WR that has blown past you in your blown coverage. Be careful what you wish for Greg.

polksalet Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 He is one of my fav players. I hate he is now in the minor leagues. He was on local radio a few years back and they asked him about Bettis and tackling some of the bigger backs. He said only one player in the league scared him, Alge Crumpler. He said any db in the league that claimed to not be scared of Crumpler is a liar lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Looks like he came to his senses, realized he was in Kansas City for farks sake, and got to Oakland as soon as possible to wash that stank off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
