The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent wide receiver Chad Jackson, Aaron Wilson of Scout.com reports. Jackson signed with the Omaha Nighthawks this off-season, but he has managed to attract the attention of Raiders head coach Hue Jackson.
Jackson was drafted ahead of players in the 2006 NFL Draft like Greg Jennings, Jason Avant, Brandon Marshall, Domenik Hixon, Devin Aromashodu, Ben Obomanu, David Anderson, and Marques Colston. He is considered one of the worst picks of that draft.
The Raiders also signed wide receiver Shawn Bayes to a one-year contract after he had a tryout with the team today. The Raiders also offered Bayes a contract last season, but he chose to play under Chris Palmer with the UFL's Hartford Colonials. Bayes compares himself to Steve Smith, the Panthers version.
