The Raiders haven’t announced their signing of Bruce Irvin yet, but the former Seattle linebacker took to Instagram to pen his farewell to the Seahawks and confirm the move.
“I’m looking forward to my new chapter and helping the city of Oakland bring a ship there!,” Irvin wrote in concluding his Instagram post.
He thanks his fellow members of the 2012 draft class, in which he was a first-round pick and No. 15 overall. He also thanked the city, Seahawks fan base and the team’s ownership while offering some insight into why he took the deal with the Raiders, reportedly a four-year, $37 million deal with $12.
