Rodger Saffold fails his physical in Oakland; Raiders void his contract
Ex-Rams G/T Rodger Saffold has failed his physical with the Raiders, voiding his five-year, $42.5 million contract. This is a huge blow to Reggie McKenzie who took a major risk by signing a tackle and letting his tackle Jared Veldheer walk.
@BairCSN #Raiders announce Rodger Saffold failed a physical and will not be signing
This is a huge hole now for the Raiders and probably an obvious sign that the team will draft a tackle with the 5th pick in the draft.

@MikeSilver: According to a Raiders source Mark Davis pulled plug on Saffold deal. Could have had surgery and been ready for training camp
