Dave Tollefson has agreed to a contract with the Oakland Raiders.

Tollefson, a member of the New York Giants recent Super Bowl team, signed a two-year deal with the Raiders. His contract is worth $2.5 million.

Tollefson was a backup defensive end for the Giants. The Giants were not interested in paying him a lot with Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul signed to multi-million dollar contracts.

Tollefson is the latest Giants player to go to the Bay area. Brandon Jacobs and Mario Manningham signed with the San Francisco 49ers.
