Raiders Team Report
(Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:00:45 PDT)
The Raiders made their first significant move of the postseason in acquiring linebacker Kamerion Wimbley from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third-round draft pick.
That Wimbley will start is a given—the only question is where he'll play and what the fallout will be elsewhere along the defensive front seven.
Wimbley arrived for the first day of the Raiders' offseason conditioning program, which is primarily about cardiovascular training and weight lifting rather than putting together a defense.
"I've been running around knocking physicals out of the way and getting to meet some the players on the squad, reuniting with guys I played with in the past," Wimbley told Raiders.com.
