Free-agent offensive lineman Richie Incognito visited with the Oakland Raiders on Monday, but he left without a deal, according to Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Bair notes that a deal could still happen, and when Incognito first met with the Raiders, it was reported that the two sides had “mutual interest.” It was also reported that Incognito seemed to be in great shape when he worked out for Oakland on Monday.
Of course, there is still the impending discipline that Incognito could face from the NFL, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network stating that could be the main holdup in the deal.
Last month, Incognito pled guilty to disorderly conduct from an incident last August that occurred at a funeral home following his father's death. He did not play in the NFL at all in 2018, so it may take some time for the league to ultimately make a decision.
The 35-year-old last appeared in 2017, when he started all 16 games for the Buffalo Bills and made the Pro Bowl.
Incognito, 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 spent the first three-plus seasons of his career with the Rams before being waived nine games into the 2009 campaign. He then joined the Bills for three games before signing with the Miami Dolphins that summer.
Incognito resided in South Beach for three and a half seasons before being suspended midway through the 2013 campaign due to conduct detrimental to the team. He made one Pro Bowl in Miami.
After being out of the NFL in 2014, Incognito rejoined Buffalo in 2015 and went on to make three straight Pro Bowl appearances with the club. He then said he was retiring following the 2017 campaign, but had a change of heart and demanded to be released from the Bills. Buffalo ultimately released him in May 2018.
