Raiders sign Derek Hagan

For some reason the Oakland Raiders have really been stocking up on wide receivers. Earlier we learned that the Raiders had signed wide receivers Chad Jackson and Shawn Bayes. Now the team has announced that they have signed former New York Giants wide receiver Derek Hagan.

Hagan has primarily been a special teams contributor in the NFL, but the Giants injuries at wide receiver last season opened up four games for Hagan to start at his natural position. Like his new teammate Chad Jackson, Hagan was a big bust in the 2006 NFL Draft.

The Raiders also announced that they signed fullback Bryson Kelly. Kelly is an undrafted rookie out of Central Washington. Last year he ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns in a game, so he does offer some versitlity as a runner.
