Raiders sign 3rd-round pick Bergstrom

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders signed third-round draft pick Tony Bergstrom on Saturday, two days before the team holds its first practice of training camp.

The former Utah guard was selected 95th overall.

That leaves rookie wide receiver Juron Criner as the Raiders’ only draft pick not under contract. The fifth-round pick is apparently holding out for a bigger signing bonus.

Bergstrom was among a few dozen players who arrived at the team’s facilities near the base of picturesque Napa Valley following a lengthy bus ride from the Bay Area that took nearly twice as long due to traffic.

Veterans such as Sebastian Janikowski didn’t have to take the bus. The Pro Bowl kicker Janikowski drove up on his own and showed up holding a suitcase in one hand with a golf bag draped over his right shoulder.
