In need of downfield speed for their passing offense, the Oakland Raiders reached a one-year agreement with Ashley Lelie.

Lelie, 28, was cut Saturday by the San Francisco 49ers when they decided to go with five receivers instead of six. Though several teams were interested, the Raiders made the convincing argument that allowed him to stay in the Bay Area.

He brings a 17.2 career receiving yard average to a team that had trouble this summer finding receivers who could separate from cornerbacks. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Lelie was a former first-round pick of the Denver Broncos. He played four seasons in Denver and then had one-year stops in Atlanta and San Francisco. He's had 43 starts during his career, but he started only three games for the 49ers last season and caught 10 passes for 115 yards.

His best season was in 1994 when he caught 54 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns for the Broncos. He hopes his return to the AFC West will bring back some of those memories.

He's probably there to help prepare for week 1.

CHANGSTER · 09-01-2008, 12:46 PM

Wow he didn't have to go far. Crazy Al must of passed him at the airport and offered him a job on the spot.

Wes Mantooth · 09-01-2008, 12:50 PM

Apparently, Michael Dean Perry still has not signed with anyone. May help shore up that line.

Meck77 · 09-01-2008, 12:57 PM

What a steal! We all know that ashley is a #1 WR.

summerdenver · 09-01-2008, 01:00 PM

If Raiders were not playing Den opening week, I am pretty sure they would have waited till week 2 to sign him to avoid guaranteeing his salary.

He won't be healthy enough to play in the week one game anyway, so I doubt that had anything to do with it.
