The Oakland Raiders acquire OLB/DE Kamerion Wimbley from the Browns
The Raiders have acquired 26-year old OLB/DE Kamerion Wimbley from the Cleveland Browns for a 3rd round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Wimbley played in 16 games for the Browns last season in which he made 69 tackles, he had 6.5 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, he forced 1 fumble and he defensed 1 pass. Wimbley has now played in 63 games in his NFL career in which he has made 248 tackles, defensed 4 passes, he has 26.5 sacks, he has forced 7 fumbles and he has a interception. The Raiders are looking to start Wimbley at DE opposite of Richard Seymour. But unless Wimbley adds some weight to his frame (he is 6’3″, 255 pounds) he could have some trouble dealing with tackles. Still a player with the upside of Wimbley was well worth a third round pick.
