Disgraced former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith signed a 1-year deal with the team across the bridge, the Oakland Raiders, on Friday. San Francisco let Smith, who has had 3 DUI arrests since 2011, walk after yet another altercation with the law. The deal is worth up to a cool $8 million with roster incentives. Sources say he turned down more money elsewhere because he wished to stay in the Bay Area.
Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie spoke highly of Smith, saying: “We are confident that the Raiders provide an environment where Aldon can thrive through the support, structure, and leadership within the building.”

Since when do the words “thriving” and “Oakland” appear in the same sentence without a cued laugh track following it?
“We are excited to have Aldon here in the Raiders family,” McKenzie finished.
C’mon, it’s like you guys are just begging for the jokes.
