Richie Incognito is back in the NFL.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the
Oakland Raiders are signing the free-agent guard to a one-year contract, per sources informed of the deal. Incognito's agent Ken Sarnoff
later confirmed the signing.
Incognito last played for the
Buffalo Bills in 2017. He sat out last season after he retired, came out of retirement, and then was released by the
Bills.
The 35-year-old visited Oakland earlier this month but left without a deal.
Incognito started all 16 games in each of the three seasons he played in Buffalo from 2015-2017 and was named to the
Pro Bowl each of those campaigns.
The offensive lineman has dealt with a litany of off-field issues, including pleading guilty to disorderly conduct last month following an arrest at an Arizona funeral home after his father's death. The
Raiders, however, seem to be comfortable enough with the situation to add Incognito to their interior.
