The Oakland Raiders have signed former Houston Texans linebacker Jay Foreman to a free-agent contract. Foreman had 79 tackles last season despite missing five games with a sprained left ankle. The Raiders were looking to improve their linebacking corps after trading Napoleon Harris to Minnesota in a deal for Randy Moss in March. Foreman came to Houston in a trade with Buffalo in 2002 and started for three seasons. He made a career-high 141 tackles in 2002 and had 135 the next season.
