The Oakland Raiders have agreed to terms on a two-year, $14 million contract extension with offensive lineman Richie Incognito, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal contains $6.35 million in guaranteed money.
Jay Glazer of The Athletic first broke the news that the Raiders and Incognito were striking a pact.
Oakland initially signed Incognito to a one-year contract last May. He was suspended the first two games of 2019 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but then returned and assumed his position as a starter along the Raiders' offensive line.
The 36-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Nebraska and the University of Oregon, was originally selected by the St. Louis Rams in the third round (81st pick overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft.
He immediately started all 16 games for the Rams during his rookie campaign and spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career there before being waived midway through the 2009 season. He proceeded to join the Buffalo Bills for three games that year and then signed with the Miami Dolphins in free agency that ensuing offseason.
Incognito spent four seasons with the Dolphins, making one Pro Bowl appearance in 2012. He was then suspended by Miami in 2013 for his conduct toward teammate Jonathan Martin.
The Englewood, N.J. native did not play in the NFL at all in 2014 and eventually linked back up with the Bills in 2015, where he went on to enjoy the best stretch of his career, earning three straight Pro Bowl selections between 2015 and 2017.
Incognito then retired and spent 2018 out of football before signing with the Raiders.
