Marques Tuiasosopo is BACK 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Mon May 26, 2008 2:56 pm

The Oakland Raiders signed veteran free agent quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo on Thursday, bringing the career backup back to the club that drafted him.

The Raiders originally selected Tuiasosopo in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft. The former University of Washington star spent the 2007 season with the New York Jets, but will come back to Oakland to be backup to JaMarcus Russell.

Tuiasosopo played for the Raiders from 2001-2006 and completed 48 of 88 pass attempts for 550 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. He did not play at all for the Jets last season.

The 29-year-old finished his college career with 5,501 passing yards and 31 touchdown passes. He also rushed for a UW-record 1,374 yards, scoring 20 touchdowns on the ground.

I don't know if he'll stick, Raiders also tried to claim Bruce Gradkowski off waivers.
