News: The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent punter Chris Kluwe as a possible replacement for the departed Shane Lechler. General manager Reggie McKenzie announced the deal with the eight-year veteran on Friday. [+]
Impact: Kluwe played in 127 games for the Minnesota Vikings with a 44.4 yard career average. He ranks second all-time in Minnesota history with a 37.3 net average. Kluwe has been one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, taking up very public fights for gay marriage and against drunken driving this past season so he fits in well in the progressive East Bay. ( STATS - Fri. May 17, 2013) |
News: Kluwe has signed a one-year contract with Oakland, FoxSports.com reports. [+]
Impact: Kluwe was recently released by the Vikings after they used a 2013 fifth-round draft pick on punter Jeff Locke. ( RotoWire - Thu. May 16, 2013) |
News: The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent kick returner Josh Cribbs to a one-year contract. Cribbs' agent, John Rickert, confirmed the deal when reached by phone Wednesday. He declined to disclose financial terms. [+]
Impact: Cribbs, who turns 30 next month, had been with the Cleveland Browns since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State in 2005. He averaged 27.4 yards on kick returns and 12 yards per punt return last season but did not have a touchdown. He also had seven receptions for 63 yards. ( STATS - Wed. May 15, 2013) | |

News: Williams has restructured his contract with the Panthers, ESPN.com reports. [+]
Impact: Players tweak their deals fairly often, but in the case of Williams, it is notable since there had been whispers that his previous contract could lead to the Panthers potentially dangling him in trade talks. His restructuring frees up $3.2 million in salary cap space this year, while also lowering his future cap hits. In any case, the move ensures that Williams will stick around in Carolina to share the team's backfield with Jonathan Stewart and fullback Mike Tolbert. ( RotoWire - Wed. May 15, 2013) |
News: A person familiar with the situation says the Panthers have restructured Williams' contract, a move that will ensure Carolina's all-time leading rusher will be back this season. [+]
Impact: The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the move has not been publically announced. Yahoo.com first reported the new deal Tuesday. The new contract saves Carolina $3.2 million under the NFL salary cap in both 2013 and 2014, and $3.867 million in 2015. Two years were added on to the deal, but it's designed to expire after the 2015 season. ( STATS - Wed. May 15, 2013) |
News: Beason (knee) expects to have a big impact on the Panthers' defense this season, the Charlotte Observer reports. [+]
Impact: Beason, who has missed all but five games over the past two seasons, appears to have recovered from knee and shoulder complications that ruled him out last season. The former Pro-Bowler will move to outside linebacker this season, with reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Luke Kuechly starting in the middle. The duo figures to benefit from having rookie defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short up front, so Beason could be in store for a bounce-back season if he can remain healthy.
