Breaking News: Donald Penn finalizing terms with Raiders
After a deleted tweet from Oakland Raiders offensive lineman by day (NFL insider by night) Menelik Watson, that hinted towards the return of Donald Penn, it looks like that news will be made official soon.
Penn’s wife posted the following picture on her Instagram account. Notice the hashtag.

This is amazing news for the Raiders, who will boast arguably the best offensive lineman in the NFL.
Presumably, Penn will remain at left tackle. There is a chance Osemele could play LT and Penn could slide over to RT, but that is probably the less likely scenario.
No contract terms are yet known, but that information will likely come out during regular hours of the day.
