ESPN.com: Raiders take gamble on defensive tackle Washington
Hoping to demonstrate again that one franchise’s draft bust might become an Oakland bonanza, the Raiders on Tuesday signed free agent defensive tackle Donnell Washington, a two-year veteran released by the Green Bay Packers on June 9.
Washington, 25, was Green Bay’s third-round choice in the 2004 draft, but he never played a single snap in a Packers uniform in two seasons with the team. Two different staffs grew frustrated at his chronic weight problems and apparent lack of motivation, and first-year coach Mike McCarthy finally decided to cut ties with the former Clemson star after a minicamp earlier this month.
