Richie Incognito: “I’m 100 percent into” playing for Raiders

Throughout their history, the Raiders have gained a reputation as a welcoming place for players who have worn out their welcome elsewhere in the NFL.

Guard Richie Incognito fits the bill after being suspended in 2013 and castigated in Ted Wells’ investigation for the way he treated Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin. Incognito recently got out of treatment for mental health issues and told Michael Silver of NFL.com that he’s open to the idea of continuing his NFL career in Oakland.

“I’m 100 percent into that,” Incognito said. “I think that would fit my personality the best. It makes so much sense. I know [offensive coordinator Greg] Olson and [offensive line coach Tony] Sparano, and I’m a loyal guy, and I’d love to play for them again. And, of course, the Raiders have that aura.”

Incognito played for Olson in St. Louis and Sparano in Miami, but there probably aren’t too many places he wouldn’t want to play right now. He said earlier this week and reiterated to Silver that he would like a chance to return to the Dolphins, but the shadow of last year, the Wells report and Incognito’s mental health concerns make him a tough sell to anyone.

Complicating matters in Oakland is the presence of defensive lineman Antonio Smith, who was suspended for two preseason games and a regular season game after an altercation with Incognito in the preseason last year. Incognito shrugged off any concerns on that front and called Smith a friend, although that may not be enough to open up the door to a job in Oakland.

I would have said no way prior to watching these bums try to block on Sat.
I'd be all for it now.

Wait so he was a perfect trashy player that would fit the mold of a Raider but now some of you are saying he should visit the Chiefs?

Any def line is licking their chops when playing the Chiefs this year!

He's injured.

Which is precisely why we need him on this team.

I would've had to hold my nose a bit, but I thought we should've brought him in months ago.

Experienced, mean spirited, physical... all things this line desperately needs.

Speaking of raiders....I can't post the link, but there was a survey on espn that said they polled 100 NFL players and 23% of them said they wouldn't play for Oakland unless they doubled their salary. Oakland was followed up by Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Green Bay.

This is a league that gives second chances to just about anybody.....
Chiefs? I don't think so...

we sure as hell could use the attitude adjustment, even if it's only for a year.

especially if it's only for a year

Too late now, Lovie Smith was smart enough to give him a shot.

Of all the awful lines we've had since Vermeil left town, this one is surely the worst.

A great match.

Green Bay surprises me. They've been the only team that's been relevant over the last 20 years in that division.

So what if it's -20*F for one or two games a season. Global Warming will fix that shit RIGHT up.

That is surprising. I'm also surprised that Miami isn't better, seeing as how so many players love to be there.

Cause it's Florida with hurricanes and criminally insane people running free as can be at a higher rate than usual. Plus the franchises there haven't been so good for a while.

Much better to be in Texas or Washington.

I don't think I'd want to be in Texas either.
