Oakland allowed the fewest passing yards in the NFL last season, and its passing defense got a boost when it signed former Jacksonville safety Donovin Darius (http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/OAK/10252609). "He will bring us strong competition and he gives us added flexibility in our secondary," Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin said. "Donovin exemplifies hard work and dedication to the game." Jacksonville valued Darius so much that it designated him its franchise players three years in a row. But the move comes with a risk -- a torn knee ligament limited him to two games in 2005, and a broken leg cost him the final six games of the 2006 season. Darius will turn 32 on Aug. 12.
