The Oakland Raiders have added some great depth to their backfield by picking up veteran fullback Lorenzo Neal and running back Gary Russell. Neal played for the Ravens last season and will now be competing for a spot on the roster with Oren O’Neal and Luke Lawton.
Gary Russell comes from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where last season he played in 12 games carrying the ball 28 times for 77 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Let’s Go Oakland! is a group of A’s fans, business people, labor leaders, and government officials who are committed to keeping the A’s in Oakland.
But it’s about much more than just building a ballpark. As part of a larger plan to build new hotels, restaurants, and cafes, a new destination stadium will attract visitors from all over the region. Like AT&T Park in Mission Bay did for San Francisco, our ballpark will be a catalyst to bring new investment and jobs to Oakland, kick-starting the next phase of our community’s successful economic development.
If you support Oakland — if you support the A’s — we hope you’ll stand with us. Sign our petition, and urge Major League Baseball and team ownership to keep the A’s in Oakland!
