Starks was released by the Patriots on Feb. 25 after his lone season with New England ended in injury. He was placed on injured reserve Nov. 10 with a shoulder injury.
The Patriots acquired the 31-year-old Starks in an offseason trade with Arizona last year.
...yep, Alice is working his magic on the FA wire.

Dude is an excellent addition to the secondary along with poole. I wouldnt be surprised to see one or both of them in the safety positions helping our badass young corners to be in the right spots at the right time.
The veteran leadership they bring is sorely needed and a welcome sight.
Fucking RACK it.

They "held their own" because everybody and their brother knew the way to beat the Raiders last year was to ram the ball down their weak ass throats. Let me know when the Raiders are ranked in the top say .... 80 PERCENT of the NFL in rushing defense and THEN you can start to tell me how good their pass defense is.Raydah James wrote:Much like your fuckjuice soaked chin, Aso and Washington MORE than held thier own against the oppositions balls being thrown thier way.

Gimme some of that warm and fuzzy Raider-Aid, I'm having a bad day.
Poole hasn't played in two years due to his "injuries". Starks got burnt so much last year that they invented an injury to put him on IR. Good luck with those two Raider Fan.....

Raiders sign Starks; Woodson meeting with Bucs
By Bill Soliday, STAFF WRITER
In hopes of finding a replacement for versatile Renaldo Hill, lost in free agency this week to the Miami Dolphins, the Oakland Raiders signed former Baltimore Pro Bowl cornerback Duane Starks to a free-agent contract Thursday.
Starks, a former first-round pick taken No.10 overall in 1999, played for New England last season but for the third time in four seasons, had his season cut short by injuries.
Groin, knee and leg injuries limited him to 10 games in 2002 with Arizona. An ACL tear ended his 2003 season in August. Coincidentally, he was replaced in Arizona by Hill, who played in nickel and dime coverage for Oakland last year before being moved to strong safety as a starter.
Last year, a shoulder injury landed Starks on injured reserve in New England, and he appeared in only seven games, starting six. He was released in late February.

the regular season for touchdowns. He also returned an interception for a touchdown for Baltimore in the Ravens' 34-7 win over the New York Giants and Kerry Collins in Super Bowl XXXV.
Starks, 31, is believed to have agreed to a contract calling for the veteran minimum.
Meanwhile, former Oakland franchise cornerback Charles Woodson, whose name has been notably absent from free-agency speculation the past month, was in Tampa on Thursday night for a visit with the Bucs and his former coach, Jon Gruden.
Because the Bucs have both their starting cornerbacks under contract, they could be interested in shifting the 29-year-old Woodson to free safety.

TAMPA - The Bucs don't appear to be in need of a starting-caliber cornerback, but one of that ilk apparently is headed their way.
The agent for four-time Pro Bowl corner Charles Woodson confirmed that Woodson arrived in Tampa late Thursday for a meeting with the Bucs today.
Woodson, 29, had his best years while playing under Bucs coach Jon Gruden in Oakland, making the Pro Bowl in each of his first four seasons. Since 2002, however, Woodson has struggled to stay healthy and play up to the level of some enormous contracts.
Woodson made $10.5 million after being named the Raiders' franchise player for the second consecutive year last season, but for the fourth consecutive year he failed to turn in a complete season, missing the final 10 games because of a broken leg.
The Bucs appear set at corner, with starters Ronde Barber and Brian Kelly and backup Juran Bolden, who recently was re-signed to a multiyear contract. They are, however, in need of an experienced free safety, so the Bucs may plan to ask Woodson to consider a move there.
"Charles will do anything, including selling popcorn, if it's going to help his team win," said Woodson's agent, Carl Poston. "The good thing is Jon and [Bucs general manager] Bruce [Allen] know what they're getting with this kid. But [economics] will obviously be a determining factor."
The news regarding Woodson, who also plans to visit Green Bay and Seattle, came shortly after the Bucs learned they'd lost out in bidding for former Patriots free-agent tackle Tom Ashworth, who agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the Seahawks.
The Bucs targeted Ashworth as a possible replacement for Kenyatta Walker, but according to agent Tom Mills, Ashworth received a more lucrative offer from the Seahawks and felt more comfortable about playing in Seattle.
"[Tom] really hit it off with the Seattle [offensive line] coach and felt like their offense suits his talents very well," Mills wrote in an e-mail. "The compensation package is very fair for a starter.
"Tampa was very creative throughout the [negotiating] process and made a sincere effort to complete the deal within their cap space."
Complete details of Ashworth's contract were not available, but it is believed to include a payout of $4.5 million in the first year. Mills said previously that the Bucs offered only to pay backup rates for Ashworth, mostly a regular with the Patriots the past three seasons.
The Bucs have also expressed interest in signing free-agent tackles Brad Hopkins and Mike Pearson, and the agent for Walker has said in recent weeks that the Bucs remain interested in retaining Walker as well.
The Bucs also continued their efforts to add depth to their receiving corps. They continued negotiating with the agent for Giants free agent Tim Carter, and according to one of his representatives, Chiefs free agent Marc Boerigter still was contemplating joining the Bucs.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Times Picayune reported that the Bucs have scheduled an interview with receiver/return specialist Michael Lewis.
Also, a representative for Broncos free-agent linebacker and special teams standout Patrick Chukwurah said Chukwurah is trying to decide between signing with the Bucs or returning to Denver.

Anyhow let CWood and his injury prone body be someone elses problem. Gruden's signings of ex Raiders have worked out well havent they?
If he can stay healthy he'll be a good fit at safety. But thats a big if.
