Maurice Jones-Drew Visits Raiders Tonight

Free agent running back Maurice Jones-Drew will fly to Oakland tonight to meet with the Raiders. According to mainstream media outlets, the two parties could make a deal quickly.

 

Up to this point, the Steelers are the only team the running back has visited with. Though, it was reported last week that his representation was going to be meeting with teams at the owners meetings in Florida.

Over the course of the last couple days, it has been reported that the Patriots and Dolphins are not interested in him, making the Steelers and the Jets the only two teams known to be “in the hunt”. Jones-Drew grew up a Raiders fan and still keeps residence in the area. He even mowed John Madden’s lawn as a kid.

The Raiders have over $14 Mil in cap space as of this writing. The Steelers, around $1.4 Mil. I think the dots connect themselves.
