Raiders' Kareem Are: Signs with Oakland

Are signed a contract with the Raiders on Friday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Are, who went undrafted out of Florida State this offseason, practiced with the Raiders on a tryout basis earlier in the spring. He's now set to report to training camp with the rest of Oakland's rookie crop July 24 before full-team practices begin July 29, when the 23-year-old will need to prove his worth as a reserve lineman in order to make the 53-man roster come September.
