Rhodes headed to Raiders

[JoseA]

Running back Dominic Rhodes is going from the Super Bowl champions to the team that posted the worst record in the NFL last season, after agreeing Friday to a two-year contract with the Oakland Raiders that could be worth up to $7.5 million.

"I just want to come in and help this team win," Rhodes said. "It's an honor to be here and an awesome experience to play for the Raiders. The whole history of the Raiders, I love it."

Rhodes likely will split time in Oakland with LaMont Jordan, who is staying with the team after agreeing earlier in the week to reduce his roster bonus from $4.75 million to $3 million. Jordan rushed for only 434 yards and two touchdowns before going down with a season-ending knee injury Nov. 19.

Personally I think this is an excellent signing for the Raiders. Rhodes never had the chance to be a star with the Colts, and I think he will shine in Oakland.

Also they didn't really overpay for him, like many other teams have been doing this offseason. Good way for the Raiders to move forward and progress with the future
