After playing in just eight games with the Green Bay Packers last season, free agent DE C.J. Wilson has signed with the Oakland
Raiders.
Wilson gets a fresh start in Oakland after once playing as a starter in Green Bay. Wilson’s most productive season came in 2012 when he had 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 11 games with the Packers.
The addition of Julius Peppers and the resigning of DL/LB Mike Neal helped make Wilson’s value to the Packers diminish even further. The Packers also will count on Mike Daniels, Datone Jones, Jerel Worthy and Josh Boyd.
The Raiders also added another free agent on Friday, signing former Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew to a three-year deal.
