The Facts: Reece, an exclusive rights free agent, wants a long-term contract from the Raiders and it's believed his absence from early-offseason activities was related to that. On Monday, Reece caved and signed his one-year tender, the Raiders announced. He'll earn $540,000 in 2012, and be eligible for restricted free agency in 2013.
Diehards Line:We tend to agree with PFT's Evan Silva, who characterized Reece as "one of the more underrated players in the game today." The convered wide receiver runs in the low-4.4s at 6-3 and 240 pounds. He excels in the passing game and Silva believes the veteran fullback could take on a larger offensive role this season with Michael Bush gone to Chicago.
