    Darius has been signed by Oak!

    This is from Profootballtalk.com:

    RAIDERS SIGN DARIUS
    The Oakland Raiders have announced the acquisition of free-agent safety Donovin Darius. A first round pick of the Jaguars in the 1998 draft, Darius was cut on June 14 by the team with which he spent nine seasons.
    "We are extremely excited about adding Donovin to the Raiders," Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said. "He will bring us immediate competition in our secondary. Donovin exemplifies hard work and dedication to the game. Working with Donovin at Jacksonville, I was able to see what a phenomenal competitor he is. He will fit great into our team philosophy."
    Darius visited the Raiders last month. He likely will play strong safety, allowing the team to move current strong safety Michael Huff to free safety, and current free safety Stuart Schweigert to the bench.

      When did Lane Kiffin ever work in Jacksonville? Didn't he come straight out of USC with no NFL experience?

        Kiffin, 30, was the defensive quality control coach for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars in 2000 (he worked with the secondary).

          Oh well. Unless we did something crazy like move Whitner to CB, I think his only real value to us would have been as depth. but he wouldn't have been happy here on the bench, and I'd have been annoyed if we signed him and sent Ko to the pine.
          Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

              The Bills found out he couldn't help at the 1 gap DT position

                I agree, I couldnt see a clear reason to go after him.

                    This would have been a bad signing for the Bills, at least when we signed Lawyer he wasnt injury prone, Donovan would have been a great signing 3 yrs ago, but his age and mileage would have been a waste of money and it would have hurt the development of our young safties

                      It's obvious why he signed with the Raiders...at best, we probably told him he'd have to compete for a job....
                      Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.
