Thoughts on Raiders re-signing C.J. Wilson

The NFL’s most active team in free agency ended a week of no activity by bringing back a familiar name.

Versatile defensive lineman C.J. Wilson announced on Twitter Wednesday night he is re-signing with the Oakland Raiders. The team has not officially announced it, but there are reports he signed for two years.

Wilson is the 11th free agent Oakland has secured in the 16-day-old free-agency period. He is the first in-house player Oakland has retained since free agency opened and just the second the Raiders have re-signed this offseason. Safety Charles Woodson re-upped in January.

Wilson wasn’t a priority signing for Oakland, but he is a good value player. Signed as a free agent from Green Bay last year, Wilson had 23 tackles and two sacks in 2014. Wilson, who turns 28 Monday, started seven games for the Raiders last season.

He can play all four spots on the defensive line and should continue to be a solid rotational player for Oakland.
