Bruce Irvin, one of most intriguing free agents, is expected to sign with the Oakland Raiders when the new league year starts Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, filling their need for an edge-rush presence opposite All-Pro defender Khalil Mack.
Irvin was one of the surprises of the 2012 draft as the Seattle Seahawks nabbed him No. 15 overall without much fanfare. The undersized rusher stepped right into a situational role for the Seahawks, picking up 11 sacks, 12 quarterback hits and 24 hurries on 393 rushes as a rookie in 2012, per Pro Football Focus grading.
