ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Raiders agreed Saturday on a two-year deal to keep free-agent safety Usama Young after an injury-shortened first year in Oakland. Agent Andy Simms said on Twitter that Young will sign the deal to stay in Oakland. The Raiders have not made an announcement because the contract has not yet been signed. Oakland also formally announced that running back Darren McFadden signed his one-year contract to return to the team. Young joined Oakland last season on a one-year deal with expectations to become the starting free safety. But a little more than a month after signing Young, the Raiders signed Charles Woodson to a one-year deal to fill that spot. Young moved into a backup role and played well when he got his chance on defence and special teams. He started once in his 12 games before being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury in December. With Woodson a free agent and uncertain to return to Oakland, Young could get another chance to start this season. The 29-year-old Young had one interception, three passes defenced and 2 1/2 sacks last season with the Raiders, playing about one-quarter of the defensive snaps when healthy. Young spent his first four seasons in New Orleans when Oakland coach Dennis Allen ran the secondary for the Saints. The two won a Super Bowl in New Orleans following the 2009 season. Young then played two years in Cleveland before joining Oakland. He has eight interceptions, five sacks and 25 passes defenced in 2013 career games. Young is the fifth defensive player signed so far in free agency by the Raiders, joining defensive linemen Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley and Antonio Smith and cornerback Tarell Brown. While Oakland is a rebuilding process following 11 straight non-winning seasons and two years of being severely hampered by the salary cap, their moves so far on defence have been mostly short-term fixes. All five players signed are at least 29 years old. But the Raiders had plenty of holes they needed to fill on defence. Starting defensive linemen LaMarr Houston and Vance Walker have already left as free agents, while Pat Sims and Jason Hunter are still on the market. Cornerback Tracy Porter signed with Washington and fellow starter Mike Jenkins and Woodson are still free agents. Bringing back Young will give some stability to a unit that likely will have new starters at all four defensive line spots, as well as both cornerback positions. The Raiders showed signs of progress on defence early last season before wilting late in the year and allowing the second-most points per game (28.3) in franchise history. Oakland has had two of the three highest-scoring seasons allowed in coach Allens first two years with the franchise. McFadden has struggled to stay healthy since being picked fourth overall out of Arkansas in 2008, missing 29 games in six seasons. McFadden had his biggest success in two years with Hue Jackson calling plays, averaging more than 5 yards per carry in 2010 and 11. But he has averaged just 3.3 yards per carry the past two seasons, second-worst in the NFL in that span to the recently retired Rashard Mendenhall. A move from a zone-blocking to a power scheme was supposed to spark McFadden last season but he rushed for just 379 yards and averaged 3.3 yards per carry in 10 games. But he gets a chance return on a one-year deal that guarantees him only $100,000 and could reach a maximum of $4 million. "There is no place Id rather be," he said. "I want to prove to the team that drafted me that I am a top running back in this league, and I really want to help this team win. Im happy to be back in Oakland." Wholesale Salomon Shoes .

Cheap Salomon Shoes .C. -- Only two Syracuse teams have won their first 20 games, and C.As a start to a new career goes it is difficult to imagine anyone matching former champion Flat jockey Joseph OBriens four-timer from seven runners on his first day as a fully-fledged trainer. Justice Frederick got the ball rolling by winning the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Gowran Park, which was swiftly followed up when Mai Fitzs Jack strolled home in the John B. Keane (C & G) Maiden Hurdle at Listowel.The third success came back on the level with OBriens brother, Donnacha, who also rode Justice Frederick, coming from nearly last on Zig Zag in the Gowran Park Golf Club Handicap. OBriens sister, Sarah, meanwhile, merely had to point Oathkeeper in the right direction to take the concluding bumper at Listowel, the pair bolting up in the colours of JP McManus.Multiple Classic winner OBrien has been overseeing a team of horses at his familys Piltown yard, but until he completed all his training modules they were competing under the name of his father, Aidan.To prove how seriously he is taking his new venture the fledgling trainer was sourcing new horses at the sales rather than watching any of his current ones run in person.Justice Frederick had been an odds-on favourite in the morning with a newcomer from OBrien seniors Ballydoyle base, Leo Minor, easily backable.However, right on the off there was a huge shift in momentum which saw Leo Minor go off favourite at 6/5 and Justice Frederick sent off at 6/4.Leo Minor came with a challenge but looked green on his debut and was beaten a length and a half, with the success coming 23 years after Aidan OBrien saddled his first winner, Wandering Thoughts, at Tralee.Donnacha OBrien said: He learned from the first day, and the step up to seven furlongs suited him.Annemarie OBrien, Josephs mother, added: The plan is to go for the Chesham at Royal Ascot.Mai Fitzs Jack won as an odds-on shot should. Made the 4/9 favourite on the strength of a second-place finish last time out, the result hardly looked in any doubt.Brian OConnell never had to exert himself and just had to keep his wits about him as his mount got in slightly too close to the final flight.Aidan OBrien was at Listowel, where he said: Straight away I got put in my place!It was great in Gowran and our own horse (runner-up Leo Minor) maybe got a little tired. I underestimated the strength of Josephs horse, obviously.His (Josephs winner Justice Frederick) first run was over five (furlongs) and is a horse that will get seven and further.This horse (Mai Fitzs Jack) was unlucky the last day when he made a mistake at the last two and I think the winner was a decent horse.dddddddddddd.Im not sure, but Id imagine hell (Joseph) keep him busy over the summer.He went on: Its a massive day for us and its great to get a win both over jumps and on the Flat.I couldnt believe when someone said to me that it was 23 years ago to the meeting (then at Tralee) that I had my first winner with Wandering Thoughts - I couldnt believe that, it is some coincidence.Joseph loves it (training) - he loved riding but it was tough for him for a long time (with weight); doing 9st every morning was very hard.Hes a big man now, hes well over 11st and he doesnt look heavy.No one will get more pleasure than me, but Ill have to keep my eye on the ball now!Zig Zag (7/1) weaved through nearly the whole field for his success, with Annemarie OBrien saying: Its been a great day for Joseph, and its nice to get a bracket for this horse. Hell go for something similar again.Oathkeeper could not have done it any easier as the 11/8 favourite, coming home with nine lengths in hand of Bel Sas.Aidan OBrien said: Its very exciting and great also for JP. It (Josephs career) is something to look forward to and he looks a fair horse.I think he might be going jumping now, but Joseph will discuss that with Frank (Berry, McManus racing manager).It has been an incredible day - how can you improve on that?OBrien swiftly registered his first double when Mai Fitzs Jack strolled home in the John B. Keane (C & G) Maiden Hurdle at Listowel.Sent off the 4/9 favourite on the strength of a second-place finish last time out, the result hardly looked in any doubt.Brian OConnell never had to exert himself and just had to keep his wits about him as his mount got in slightly too close to the final flight.OBrien says his team will be split roughly 50/50 between Flat horses and jumpers. OBriens day got even better later on when Donnacha OBrien gave 7/1 chance Zig Zag a tremendous ride as they got up to take the Gowran Park Golf Club Handicap, beating Phebes Dream by a neck.And it was four when OBriens sister Sarah merely had to point 11/8 favourite Oathkeeper in the right direction for a most impressive victory in the bumper back at Listowel, absolutely bolting up in the JP McManus colours.
