ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders spent this offseason getting rid of almost all of the remaining high-profile players brought in by the previous regime.
One of the few still around in Oakland is running back Darren McFadden. McFadden is entering the final season of his rookie contract hoping a new offense that better suits his talents will help revive his game after a disappointing 2012 season.
General manager Reggie McKenzie cut three former top 10 picks this offseason when he let go of defensive back Michael Huff, receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and linebacker Rolando McClain. But he remains confident McFadden can regain the game-breaking ability he showed when healthy in 2010 and ’11 under former coach Hue Jackson’s offense.
