Veteran linebacker signs with Raiders

The Raiders announced the signing of veteran linebacker Edgerton Hartwell on Wednesday.
Hartwell, 29, will have his best chance of making the team if he can prove to be an effective run stopper, a weakness for the Raiders in recent seasons.
Hartwell would have to beat out incumbent Robert Thomas and Sam Williams for a starting spot, as Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard appear entrenched at middle and weak-side linebacker, respectively.
Hartwell looked to be an emerging star playing next to Ray Lewis in Baltimore from 2001 to 2004, but he spent two injury-filled seasons with Atlanta after signing as a free agent in 2005. Hartwell played in 13 games with the Falcons before being released.
He was cut by Cincinnati at the end of training camp last year.
