Raiders Signing CB David Long Jr.

HENDERSON, Nev.--While the Las Vegas Raiders refuse to call their overhaul of the roster a "rebuild," Coach Josh McDaniels and General Manager Dave Ziegler added a solid piece to that effort when they agreed to terms with former Michigan Wolverine standout cornerback David Long Jr. on a deal.

They needed another cornerback, and they seem to have filled the void with cornerback Brandon Facyson and now Long.

Jordan Schultz first reported the story:
