The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent linebacker Danny Clark. The 6'2", 250-pound Clark has played in 61 league games with 28 starts in four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He leaves the Jaguars ranked second in team history in special teams tackles with 55.
Last year, the versatile Clark played in all 16 league games with nine starts for Jacksonville. During his four NFL seasons, Clark has played inside and outside linebacker as well as on all special teams units. He posted 73 tackles with an additional 11 stops on special teams for Jacksonville in 2003.

Clark started all 16 league games for the Jaguars in 2002 and was the team's second-leading tackler with a career-high 152, with two sacks and an interception. He opened the season at strongside linebacker, then, registered a career-high 16 stops in his first game following a move to the weakside.

Clark originally entered the NFL as a seventh round pick by Jacksonville in 2000 out of Illinois. As a rookie, he led the Jaguars and tied a team record for special teams tackles with 25. In 2002, the Blue Island, Illinois native ranked second on the Jaguars in special teams tackles with 17.

Clark was a four-year starter at Illinois and left ranked sixth on school's career tackles list with 384, just past Pro Football Hall of Famer Dick Butkus (who had 374 from 1962-64).

If Parella stays healthy - the DLine has a chance to be good again. Brayton is a stud.
