Oakland wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey has agreed to terms on a five-year deal, according to his agent, Ben Dogra. He has not signed the contract but is expected to on Friday when he reports to training camp in Napa Valley, Calif. The Raiders started practice Thursday.

DHB is only the fifth player taken in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft to be expected to sign, as of now.

With all of the draft picks signed from this year’s draft and in camp, (with the exception of Stryker Sulak, who got waived), and DHB ready to sign on Friday, it’s time to roll, Raider Nation.

Thank God we stayed away from Michael Crabtree.
