Raiders Sign Free Agent CB Lito Sheppard

Discussion in 'Oakland Raiders' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 26, 2011.

  1. The Oakland Raiders announced Friday that they have signed two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard, who played last season with the Vikings. Originally drafted by the Eagles, Sheppard has played for three teams. In 2006, Sheppard became the first player in NFL history to have two interception returns of more than 100 yards. Both returns came against the Cowboys (2004 and 2006).

    I like the signing. We need some much better depth in the DB core, we're so young and frankly I don't trust Chris Johnson at all.

    Damn Lito ended in Oakland..... I remember when he was demanding a new deal from the eagles and they just shipped him out. Guess the FO knew what they were doing even though he did that sick hit on Reggie Bush!!!! Love that hit

    Actually it was both Sheldon and Lito that both wanted a new contract but the FO did not give it to them and both were shipped.
