Former Packer Brandon Underwood Signs With The Raiders

by Brandon on Feb 16, 2012 7:00 PM CST in Green Bay Packers News

Mac's Football Blog: Raiders Sign CB Brandon Underwood. The former Green Bay Packers defensive back hasn't played in the NFL since the team released him before the start of last season. New Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie certainly knew him from their time together in Green Bay, and he apparently thought he might have something to offer.

He was the top candidate to take over as the nickel back in 2010, but a poor preseason game against the Browns (and a subsequent injury) doomed his chances. Mike McCarthy had spoken well of his progress, but a 2010 police investigation, and his 2011 arrest on a domestic violence charge, didn't help him.

He had shown some potential so he still might make something of his NFL career.

Well

Underwood’s tenure with the Packers was marred by a pair of off-field arrests, one for having non-marital sexual intercourse in an act of prostitution during an incident at a charity golf event in June of 2010. Underwood was fined $379 for that incident and the record will be expunged within a year.

Last year, Underwood was charged with domestic disorderly conduct after allegedly ripping a necklace of his estranged wife’s neck after the Packers’ Super Bowl ring ceremony. Underwood was fined a little over $700 for that incident.

The day LeBron James wins an NBA championship will be the day I stop watching NBA basketball. Needless to say, it looks like I'll be watching for quite a few more years.

Are you saying it was a foregone conclusion that he'd play for the Raiders?

Low Rish High Reward...

Underwood has talent there isn’t alot of doubt about that. If he can harness his talent and get his off-field life in order he could pay off in a big way!

There's a difference between a minor typo

and the garbled nonsense that you usually type.

Taking pride in how easy it is to get you to "bite"

Which shows how much of a dweeb you are to think every tiny error of others needs correcting.I was joking with the Typing Policeman but you actually are and more than willing to accept the role…Bravo..you are officially an internet twerp.
Moving on and literally forgeting you exist.
Have a happy errorless life.LMFAO at you.

Good job on calling me out & congratulating yourself on getting me to respond after using my name

I don’t correct every tiny error, believe me. If I did, I’d never talk about football.

Look, your ideas are usually extremely idiotic after I’ve slogged through the abortions you give to the English language nearly every time, so I’ll just stop reading them entirely…
