The Raiders announced that they've officially signed former Redskins running back Roy Helu Jr.
It was previously reported by ESPN's Adam Caplan that Helu agreed to a two-year, $4 million deal. Helu was selected by the Redskins in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL draft. During his time in Washington, he ran for 1,132 yards and seven touchdowns and totaled 1,152 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.
Helu will likely be used as a third-down back behind Latavius Murray.
