The Raiders effectively swapped outside linebackers with the Dolphins, but doubtless got the cheaper end of the deal.
According to Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times, the Raiders signed linebacker Kevin Burnett Sunday.
That’s the same Kevin Burnett the Dolphins jettisoned so they could throw a five-year, $26 million contract at former Raiders linebacker Philip Wheeler.
The Raiders are revamping the position, after having previously signed Kaluka Maiava and Nick Roach, and now have some solid options to choose from.
