Kamerion Wimbley signs big extension with the Oakland Raiders

The Raiders have re-signed defensive end/linebacker Kamerion Wimbley.

Earlier in the year, Wimbley signed a one-year $11.3 million franchise tender to remain with the team.  In addition to that one year, he has gained an extension of four years, in which he will make an additional $36.7 million and $17.7 million in guaranteed money.

Overal,l between the extension and franchise tender, Wimbley essentially has a five-year deal worth $48 million with $29 million in guaranteed money.

He was the first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2006 and came to the Raiders prior to last season via a trade which sent a third-round pick in the 2010 draft to Cleveland.  The defensive end/linebacker hybrid is coming off of a nine sack season for the Raiders.  The nine sacks are the second best totals for his career, and he has 35.5 total sacks throughout the course of his five seasons in the league.

Wimbley has been a solid starter in all five of his NFL seasons, only missing one game in five years and starting in 78 of a possible 79 games.
