ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders are apparently not playing around in free agency this time around.
And their defense is about to get a little more fierce.
Agreeing to terms with free-agent linebacker Bruce Irvin, who spent the first four years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, gives the Raiders a bookend pass-rusher to go with All-Pro Khalil Mack.
Of course, the signing cannot become official until Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, when the new league year begins.
And we have yet to even think about the Raiders' purported chase of Aldon Smith, who cannot be re-signed until his year-long suspension is up in November.
