In order to bolster the offensive line the Raiders were faced with the tough choice to sign Richie Incognito last week. The always-in-trouble offensive lineman is set to compete for the starting left guard position along with Denzelle Good who was added late last season. Incognito brings a considerable amount of off-field and lockerroom concerns and suggests the lack of depth on the offensive line was a serious enough problem for the Raiders to even consider adding the lineman.
Purely from an on-field perspective, however, Incognito’s addition does make sense.
