Raiders sign veterans Sparks & Green to 1-year deals
ESPN.com - NFL - Raiders ink vets Starks, Green to one-year deals
Quote:
Never shy about adding older players, the Oakland Raiders have bolstered their depth with a pair of unrestricted free agent acquisitions, signing cornerback Duane Starks and offensive tackle Cornell Green to one-year contracts.
Both players will receive the minimum base salaries for veterans of their seniority.
Starks, 32, appeared in three games with the Raiders in 2006, then became a free agent last month. Green, 30, appeared in 14 games, all as a reserve, with Tampa Bay.
A nine-year veteran, and regarded earlier in his career as one of the league's top coverage corners, Starks has suffered through injuries the last several seasons, and appeared in just 10 games the past two years and 25 games over the past four seasons. He adds experience to a very young cornerbacks corps in which none of the other four members has played in the NFL for more than four seasons.
In fact, the aggregate experience of the other four cornerbacks on the roster in just one year more than Starks' nine seasons.
