The Oakland Raiders have signed free-agent cornerback Carlos Rogers to a one-year contract.

The Raiders announced the signing of the Rogers Monday night via twitter.

Rogers was cut in a cost saving move by the 49ers earlier this month.  He will join former 49ers teammate Tarell Brown, who also signed one-year deal with the Raiders on March 14.  Signing Rogers  is one of several moves made by the Raiders this off season to revamp their defense.
