The 32-year-old signed with Oakland over the summer after a tumultuous season with the Giants in 2017. He was suspended indefinitely after several heated arguments with former head coach Ben McAdoo during Week 5 against the Chargers. The suspension only lasted a week, but the Giants ultimately released him in March.

Rodgers-Cromartie tallied 160 tackles, 11 interceptions, one touchdowns and three forced fumbles over 61 games with the Giants. His best year in New York came in 2016 when he recorded six INTs and a sack. He made six tackles and forced a fumble with the Raiders this season.

The two-time Pro Bowler was drafted No. 16 overall by the Cardinals in 2008, and played three seasons in Arizona while making stops in Philadelphia and Denver before signing a five-year, $39 million deal with the Giants in 2014.
