ESPN.com reported Saturday that the Raiders have signed ex-Jaguar offensive tackle Khaif Barnes to a one-year contract. The only other outside free agent that the Raiders have signed this year is offensive tackle Erik Pears.
Khalif Barnes is 26 years old and is expected to fill the hole at left tackle and help protect the blindside of JaMarcus Russell. Head Coach Tom Cable said he likes Barnes because he can start on both sides of the line and has experience in the zone-blocking scheme.
