The Raiders had not one, but two linebacker spots to fill coming into free agency. And almost simultaneously, they filled both starting spots... with his college teammate. The first signing reported, literally by one minute was the addition of former Eagles LB Nakobi Dean. Right on the heels of that were the reports of former Packers LB Quay Walker signing.
The former first round pick out of Georgia has been highly productive over his four years in Green Bay. He's started 57 of 58 games and never had fewer than 100 tackles in a season. Last season he had a career-high 128 tackles.
And just like that, the Raiders go from no starting linebackers to filling both of those spots in their new 3-4 scheme. Combined with their several other moves thus far, it's been a pretty good start to free agency in Las Vegas.
