Source: Raiders, edge rusher Benson Mayowa agree to terms on contract

The Raiders need help rushing off the edge and turned to an old friend to aid the effort.

Benson Mayowa agreed Friday on terms of a contract that will bring him back to the Silver and Black, a league source told NBC Sports California.

Mayowa’s one-year contract could exceed $3 million if he hits certain marks.

The defensive end played for Oakland in 2014 and 2015 largely as a reserve. He had a career-high six sacks for Dallas in 2016, and had four with Arizona last season.

Adding Mayowa will help with depth at defensive end, though the Raiders still need more at the position.
