The agent for running back Darren McFadden told NFL.com's Gil Brandt that he will meet with the Raiders this week to talk about re-signing him. McFadden is scheduled to be a free agent.
It was a month ago when Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said the back would be a free agent, so a change of heart could be in play here from the organization. McFadden has struggled since entering the league with injuries and inconsistency. He has missed 29 games in six seasons and played in only 10 games in 2013, matching his 2012 yards per carry average at 3.3, which is a career-low.
