Raiders sign McFadden for 6 yrs, $60 million



Raiders signed RB Darren McFadden, the No. 4 overall pick, to a six-year, $60 million contract. The deal includes $26 million in guarantees.
This was the only potential holdout we were worried about for fantasy leaguers. His deal represents a 40% increase in guaranteed money over last year's fourth overall pick, Gaines Adams. McFadden is running with the second team at OTAs and impressing with his receiving skills. He is unlikely to start games in his rookie season as long as Justin Fargas is healthy (which may not be for long), but McFadden should end up leading all Raiders RBs in touches.

No first-round holdout this year as Raiders sign McFadden

Great contract for a rookie. I think he will be worth it to.

Well, I personally think it's too much for an unproven tailback. They better hope McFadden lives up to the hype.
