ESPN is reporting that Greg Wesley has signed a one year $730,000 deal with the Raiders. Wesley is a former Kansas City Safety who wanted out of K.C. throughout the 2007 season. The Broncos almost traded for Wesley on two separate occasions. The Chiefs got cold feet not wanting to send him to an AFC West Rival back in 2006, the following season they asked too high a price, he was then released back in May. Looks like Wesley did exactly what the Chiefs brass didn’t want by signing in the AFC West, except they weren’t able to secure compensation for their loss albeit to Oakland.
The veteran safety will most likely add depth behind Raider safeties Gibril Wilson and Michael Huff. Greg is reportedly “happy to remain in the AFC West and has looked forward to playing against the Chiefs twice this season.”
