Raiders Sign Veteran OL Richie Incognito to Contract Extension
By Karl Rasmussen
The Raiders' acquisition of controversial offensive lineman Richie Incognito was met with some scrutiny last offseason, but the 36-year-old showed up and got straight to work -- after serving a two-game suspension.
After not playing in 2018 due to a dispute with the Bills, Incognito was able to latch on with the Raiders over the summer, a decision which has paid dividends for both parties.
Incognito strung together a solid campaign in 2019, and he's been rewarded by the Raiders with a contract extension.
Little player news during all the coaching news, the #raiders and @68INCOGNITO are agreeing to a contract extension.

Incognito started 12 games this season and featured in 100% of the team's offensive snaps when he was active.
It looks like Jon Gruden's previous comments about hoping to keep Incognito until he's 40 weren't too farfetched after all.
