The Oakland Raiders have signed defensive tackle John Henderson to a two-year contract extension, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Henderson's deal is worth $8 million.
The 6-7, 335-pound former first-round pick out of Tennessee joined the Raiders on a one-year, $1.025 million deal last June following his release by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Henderson started two of nine games. Henderson was credited with 30 tackles and three passes defensed.
Henderson spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with the Jaguars, starting 119 of 123 games, totaling 423 tackles and 29 quarterback sacks, and going to a pair of Pro Bowls.
Re-signing Henderson continues what's been a very busy stretch for the Raiders, who have re-signed Richard Seymour to a two-year, $30 million contract, Stanford Routt to a three-year, $31.5 million extension, and used the franchise tag on outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley.
