Earlier in the week the Raiders released veteran linebacker, Derrick Johnson after only six games. In a corresponding move they promoted undrafted free agent linebacker, Jason Cabinda.
Cabinda, played four years as a Penn State Nittany Lion, starting in 36 of 43 games. As a senior he received second team all Big 10 honors. Cabinda made a name for himself in Happy Valley with his toughness and leadership qualities.
Some of the strengths of Cabinda’s game are his ability to take on and shed blocks and his aggressive play.
