The Raiders have added some depth to their offensive line, announcing today in a press release that they’ve signed veteran tackle J’Marcus Webb.
Webb, 26, has 44 NFL starts under his belt, with most of those coming during his first three years in the league in Chicago. A seventh-round pick in 2010, Webb played for the Bears through 2012 before joining the Vikings for the 2013 campaign. Over the last two years, he has played just nine games, and has been unable to consistently hang on to a roster spot.
By joining the Raiders, Webb reunites with a pair of coaches. He played under former Vikings offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave in Minnesota and former Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice in Chicago. Both men are now in Oakland, with Musgrave running the team’s offense and Tice coaching the offensive line.
