Raiders and Heyward-Bey Deal Done Adam Schefter of ESPN Future continues to drop some periodic scoops from his Twitter-only (until August 17) existence. Earlier today, Schefter tweeted that the Raiders and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the seventh overall pick in the draft, have agreed to terms. Per PFT.com: UPDATE: A league source tells us that Heyward-Bey's deal, which has not yet been signed, covers only five years. For the first sixteen picks in the draft, the maximum duration is six. Adam Schefter DHB will now make on the practice field for the team's first full-squad workout. This says a lot, as neither DHB or the Raiders waited for A. Smith drafted at #6 nor Monore at #8 to sign first.
