Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson has agreed to terms with the Oakland Raiders, a source confirmed to ESPN's Dan Graziano.

The move was first reported by NFL Network.

The Chiefs announced on Feb. 13 that they would not re-sign Johnson, who spent 13 seasons with the team. Johnson said in a statement that he plans "on playing for several more years."

He would have been a decent addition to bolster our linebackers.

Brian Cushing cancelled his visit once DJohnson signed with OAK

He would be a great add to help LVE along

Off topic, but the introduction of Cushing made me look up his career.

LVE and Cushing had a similar combine in regards to agility and speed.
40 time:4.65 vs 4.64
10 yd split: 1.56 vs 1.53
3 cone: 6.88 vs 6.84
20 yard split: 2.69 vs 2.62
Broad: 124 inch vs 120
vert: 39.5 vs 35

Big difference was the bench, where LVE repped 20, but Cushing hit 30.

Maybe cause he was on the juice/hgh, but Cushing had a monster rookie year. Completely forgot about his 2009 season.
133 tackles and added 4 sacks, 10 pass deflections, 4 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles
Would be nice if LVE could come close to those numbers.

Will Cushing play special teams? The lb's at the end of the Cowboys roster prob have to do that.
