The Raiders have signed Dominic Rhodes to a 2 year contract.  It’s likely that Rhodes will split carries with Lamont Jordan and that could give the Raiders a solid running game if they get blocking up front.  Rhodes played in all 16 games last season for the Colts and he carried the ball 187 times for 641 yards (3.4 ypc) with 5 TD runs.  He also caught 36 passes for 251 yards (7.0 avg).  The Raiders also put language in Rhodes’ contract to protect them in case he gets suspended by the NFL for the DUI he got earlier this year.  This was a good signing for the Raiders.
