Raiders make it official: LB Aldon Smith signs; FS Reggie Nelson reportedly visiting

ALAMEDA _ The Raiders and Aldon Smith made good Monday on their promise to reunite at the time of the linebacker’s one-year suspension last November.

The Raiders announced Smith, who can’t play until November at the earliest in 2016 while he remains under suspension for violation of the NFL policy on substance abuse, has signed a contract.

A press release announcing the deal did not include statements from Smith, general manager Reggie McKenzie or coach Jack Del Rio. Smith is not expected to be made available for comment.

Terms were not disclosed, but it was reported by ESPN as a two-year deal.
