The Oakland Raiders continued their overhaul with the signing of defensive end C.J. Wilson.

A seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2010, Wilson had just eight tackles in eight games as a reserve last season. However, he did register 3.5 sacks while starting 11 of 42 games over his first three NFL seasons.

The former East Carolina star joins Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley and Antonio Smith as key additions on the Raiders’ defense with the ability to apply pressure on quarterbacks.
