Oakland re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes, one of the Raiders’ 17 unrestricted free agents, to a contract on Wednesday, the team announced.

Barnes has played in 47 games in four years with the Raiders and started 30, including 25 at right tackle. He missed seven games last season because of a groin injury.

A second-round draft pick by Jacksonville in 2005, Barnes has re-signed with the Raiders each year since he came to Oakland as a free agent in 2009.
