We’ve heard this story before as Raiders fans. The team signs a linebacker in the twilight of his career. Many hope that player can bring the same level of play that was seen earlier (Navarro Bowman, Vontaze Burfict, Brandon Marshall) but in those cases it never worked out.
But KJ Wright could be different. Unlike those other players, there wasn’t a drop off in his play in the last couple of seasons. In fact he has put together “Teach Tape” with incredible amount of technique and discipline.
Wright, of course, got his start under current Raiders defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.
