But hey, practices should be interesting with him and Antonio Brown on the same team.

What is with the Raiders? Seems like every guy with a checkered history ends up in the Raiders' orbit. And it's not like the strategy has worked for them. But they continue down this road despite numerous coaching, front office, and regime changes (and even ownership changes). The only rationale that I can think of is that they know the bad boy image plays well to their fan base and, since the NFL is after all just a business, it generates tremendous profits even if the on-the-field product isn't all that great.
