ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have agreed to acquire linebacker Aaron Curry from Seattle two years after the Seahawks selected him fourth overall in the draft.

Raiders senior executive John Herrera says the deal was agreed to on Wednesday and will be official once the league approves it and Curry passes his physical.

Curry failed to live up to the high expectations of being a high draft pick and lost his starting job earlier this year.

Curry was absent from Seahawks practice on Wednesday and his locker was completely cleaned out. Some of his former Seattle teammates confirmed Curry had come in to the team’s facility Wednesday morning to say his goodbyes.
