Raiders signed LB/DE Grant Irons to a one-year contract.
Irons hasn’t played since injuring his back in the second week of 2006. “He’s really in phenomenal shape for a guy that has not been in an NFL program so we’ll give him a chance,” coach Lane Kiffin said. He’ll fight for a roster spot. LB Shane Simmons, an undrafted rookie out of Western Washington, was cut.
