The Oakland Raiders have a lot of work to do in terms of their roster heading into next season, but they started to make things happen this past Thursday. On Thursday, they placed an original round tender on Erik Harris, and on Friday, they inked him to a two-year extension, giving him some financial stability.
The story of Harris is quite remarkable, and it is one of triumph in the hardest of circumstances. Years ago, when he and his wife were just dating, they were involved in a terrible car crash, one that they luckily survived, though not without his now-wife, Theresa, suffering brain injuries.
