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.

Asshole or not, the Chiefs could use the guy.

This team needs all the Oline help it can get.

**RealSNR** · 08-25-2014, 09:29 AM

We sure could ****ing use him.

John Dope · 08-25-2014, 09:30 AM

Unrealistic - No owner is going to sign that guy. They want him, and the negative media spotlight he brings to just go away.

BigBeauford · 08-25-2014, 09:30 AM

Reid signed Vick. Just saying.

thabear04 · 08-25-2014, 10:46 AM

So incognito talking with the Bucs.

Why is Tampa visiting with him today then, because they're bored?

What ever happened to the whiny girly man that he "harassed"?

Dorsey please for the love of god plug A hole in this sinking ship. He's got 1 year stopgap need to save my career on the cheap written all over him.

I believe that Jonathan Martin is with the 49ers currently.

I know what happened to everyone else. Incognito went on several tirades that showed he's pretty unstable. And pounceys image keeps getting worse. Martin is too soft but it's clear where the root of the problem is.

Unless you think that Jonathan Martin is more adorable than puppies, Michael Vick disagrees with you.

Bring Incognito in, NOW! Fulton has no business starting and we could use the nasty attitude on game days. Smith won't be a bitch like the rookie Tannehill was to this guy and Reid is far better at handling problem players than Joe Philban is.

LOL, maybe I'll be wrong? Maybe a team will sign him. Either way, KC won't sign him.
