Raiders head coach Jon Gruden wanted veterans to help turn his defense around. He added a linebacker and defensive backs aplenty. Then, on Friday night, he reportedly gave the front some help.
Former 49ers defensive lineman Tank Carradine will sign with the Raiders, according to the Sacramento Bee.
A source told NBC Sports Bay Area a pact wasn’t reached yet, but an agreement looked to be in the cards.
He visited the Raiders on Thursday and was in Seattle earlier Friday, but is expected to sign with the Silver and Black.
Carradine could help their transition to a more traditional 4-3 alignment, able to play end in the base defense.
