It made some waves because of Incognito’s checkered past that had him suspended for the entire 2014 season and ensured no team signed him all of last season. Approaching 36, Incognito is hoping to play again this season after a year away. The Raiders have a need and offensive line coach Tom Cable seems to think the volatile Incognito could fill it. He worked out for the team today, but reportedly left without a deal, though one could still be struck.One sticking point could be possible league discipline for Incognito the moment he tries to play again. Gruden should be leery of signing players with pending suspensions. Just last year the Raiders traded for Martavis Bryant who they would waive in the final roster cuts knowing a suspension was coming. That suspension came down at midseason and caused Jon Gruden plenty of headaches with how often he missed practice with migraines. Incognito brings a different kind of headache to the locker room that doesn’t fit with the team’s new emphasis on strong character. Whether they reach a deal will tell us whether they are willing to forgive his checkered past and potentially toxic presence in the locker room in favor of filling a need on the field.Follow @LeviDamien Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell tore his Achilles earlier this week and the team formally ended his season on Friday by placing him on injured reserve.In between those two developments, the Raiders re-signed veteran running back Doug Martin to join first-round pick Josh Jacobs Womens Derek Carr Jersey , Jalen Richard, DeAndre Washington and Chris Warren as options in the backfield. Gruden talked up all of the backs, including the role Martin can play as Jacobs learns the ropes as a professional.“Doug will be able to come in here and be a great mentor to Jacobs,” Gruden said, via NBCSportsBayArea.com. “He knows the system. He has produced in the system. in this league. He’ll be a great resource to our young back Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , and he can still play. We’re happy to have Doug back and disappointed for Isaiah.”Gruden also referred to Martin as a three-down back, which, as Josh Dubow of the points out, is a bit curious given the fact that he only played 21 snaps on third down last season. Richard had 155 snaps in that role and the presence of all the backs in Oakland means there’s going to be some experimenting to do before making any calls about who is doing what in September.
