HENDERSON, Nev. -- Tom Telesco has only been on the job as Las Vegas Raiders general manager for six-plus weeks.
But with NFL free agency beginning next week -- the legal tampering period starts Monday before players can be signed with the onset of the new league year next Wednesday -- and a gaggle of Raiders set to hit the market, he already has a goal in mind.
"I do want to establish a philosophy with the Raiders that we like to re-sign our own," Telesco said at the combine last week.
It's a noble pursuit, but one also fraught with risk.
