Raiders Sign Veteran Receiver Houshmandzadeh
ALAMEDA (AP) -— The Oakland Raiders have signed wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh to a contract.
The team announced the move Tuesday after watching Houshmandzadeh work out.
The signing gives new quarterback Carson Palmer a receiver he knows extremely well. The two were teammates in Cincinnati for six seasons and both had their greatest NFL success when they were together.
Houshmandzadeh had been out of the league since playing with Baltimore last season but had been working out in Southern California with Palmer before the Raiders acquired the quarterback last month.
The 34-year-old Houshmandzadeh had 30 catches for 398 yards and three touchdowns with the Ravens last season.
