The Oakland Raiders could be looking at free agent defensive tackle Sam Adams, according to ESPN.com.

Brandon Marshall was arrested in March for assaulting his girlfriend, but there have been past incidents, according to the Denver Post. The newspaper says they have received reports that Marshall previously "punched his girlfriend, cut her leg with a knife and threw a rock at a car in which she was a passenger."
