Oakland Raiders lock down Tommy Kelly to long term deal

The Oakland Raiders signed Tommy Kelly to a seven year deal worth up to $50 million and $18.125 million of that is guaranteed. The Raiders needed to lock him down to a long term deal, as he was young and on the rise, but this is a potentially dangerous move for the Raiders as Kelly is coming off of a season ending ACL injury last season. This move should give the franchised cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha confidence that Al Davis will get his deal done, as Asomugha is the Raiders best defender and at a position that Al covets above all.

I don't understand why they would give him that much money! This is crazy!

Why didn't they give the money to Nnamdi. Ta Raider fan's everywhere, Al ain't running this team ya'll.
Some yahoo who don't know what their doing is.

The raiders's signed gibril wilson. Heck we might draft Sedrick Ellison. Or vernon fron Ohio State.
