Oakland Raiders Form Nasty Pass Rush Duo With Signing of Bruce Irvin

One of the top free agent pass rushers is off the market as former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin has come to a deal with the Oakland Raiders. Irvin was drafted by the Seahawks with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and recorded 22 sacks during his four seasons in the Pacific Northwest.

In joining the Raiders, Irvin will team with Khalil Mack to form one of the most dynamic pass rushing duos in the NFL. After being used mostly in coverage in 2015, he will be allowed more freedom to rush the passer in Oakland which should help take the double and triple teams away from Mack.
