You can't seem to keep Mike Nugent out of the league.
After 13 seasons in the NFL, Nugent has a chance to win a roster spot once again as the Raiders signed the former Buckeye to compete with rookie Eddy Pineiro this preseason.
We have signed K Mike Nugent.

The move was somewhat unexpected, as the Raiders released Giorgio Tavecchio, who was expected to compete for the starting spot along with Pineiro.
Last season, Nugent appeared in a total of eight games for two different, serving as a replacement kicker in both Dallas and Chicago, and he put up some of the best numbers of his career, drilling 85 percent of his field goals and hitting a 55-yarder, tying a career long.
Nugent turned 36 in March and is nearing retirement age, but it seems like he's not ready to call it quits just yet.
