Report: Raiders agree to deal with defensive end Spires

<!-- end page tools --> <!-- begin story body -->

The Oakland Raiders reportedly have found their replacement for Chris Clemons at defensive end.

<!-- INLINE HEADSHOT (BEGIN) -->

The San Francisco Chronicle, citing an unnamed source, reported that the Raiders have agreed to a one-year deal with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Greg Spires.

Spires will be counted on to help fill the void left by Clemons, who signed a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Spires, who spent the last six seasons with the Buccaneers, has 39½ career sacks and also recorded a sack in Tampa Bay's victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII.

He was released by the Buccaneers this offseason in a salary-cap move.

Clemons, who tied for the team high in sacks with eight in 2007, signed a five-year contract with the Eagles in March.
