Oakland Raider wide receiver Louis Murphy was arrested in Gainesville, Fla.  Sunday morning he was charged with possession of a drug without a valid prescription, failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest without violence.

Louis Murphy  was taken into custody shortly after midnight after a Gainesville police officer tried to pull him over because his Cadillac Escalade’s stereo volume was loud.  Murphy drove on to a city parking lot and he and his passengers exited the SUV and walked away.

Officer Thomas Harrison ordered Murphy and his passengers to stop, butMurphy refused to show identification. When the officer tried to place him in handcuffs.   Murphy resisted and the police said three officers were required to take him into custody.

A search of Murphy’s car turned up a “non-labeled prescription bottle containing 11 individual pills later identified as Viagra.”  Murphy could not provide a prescription for the pills.  He allegedly telling the officer that he had peeled the label off of the bottle “because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for it.”

Louis Murphy is from St. Petersburg, Fla., and played collegiately at Florida.   He caught 41 passes for 609 yards and two touchdowns last season after making 31 receptions for 521 yards and four scores as a rookie.

Offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchiaan from New England Patriots conducted positional drills at Hairston Pro Day.

Chris Hairston has drawn grades ranging from the third to fifth round.

The 6-foot-6, 323-pounder posted a 27 1/2 inch vertical leap and an 8-6 broad jump at his Pro Day workout as well as a 7.64 in the three-cone drill and a 4.74 short shuttle.

Hairston was a three-year starter at left tackle and starting 36 games. He can also bench press 405 pounds.

Culliver has been projected as a fourth-round draft pick, but also Culliver has also drawn third-round grades from several teams.

He is a 6-foot, 200-pound cornerback who has also played safety.   Culliver ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.

Culliver registered a 1.50 10-yard split, a 38 1/2 inch vertical leap, and a 10-03 broad jump. He also posted a 4.08 20-yard shuttle and a 6.08 three-cone drill.

Al Davis already wants to sign him!

The court documents said he suffers from bipolar disorder.  He was on probation for a 2005 fracas in Miami Beach during which Robbins fought with police officers and was shot and wounded.  Robbins was a Pro Bowl center for the Oakland Raiders.  He missed 2003 Super Bowl against Tampa Bay after disappearing several days before the game and then showing up incoherent the night before.

The Oakland  Raiders released him in 2004 for steroid use.

“The fact that I’ve had the chance to be in defensive meetings with Chuck and watch him lead the defensive staff made it an easy decision to name him our defensive coordinator,” said Oakland Raiders Head Coach Hue Jackson. “I am impressed with his passion, attention to detail and energy. This staff gives us the opportunity to have one of the top defenses in the NFL.”

Bresnahan coached Raiders defensive backs (1998-99), then became defensive coordinator for the Silver and Black (2000-03). Under Bresnahan in 2002 when the Silver and Black represented the AFC in the Super Bowl, the Raiders defense ranked among the league leaders in least points allowed per game, least rushing yards per attempt and fewest rushing yards allowed per game.

“This is an incredible opportunity for me to come back to the Raiders and work again where we had so many great years,” said Bresnahan. “It’s so exciting to be reunited with Hue Jackson because of the passion and energy that he brings. I’m also thrilled to be a part of this talented staff, many of whom I’ve shared previous success with.”

As four-year veterans, Zach Miller and Michael  Bush would have been restricted free agents under the rules in place last season. If that is still the case after a new collective bargaining agreement is reached, the Oakland Raiders will have seven days to match any offer sheet the players receive from another team or get a first- and third-round pick as compensation.

Los Angeles district attorney’s spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says a judge Friday postponed arraignment for the 43-year-old Smith and two other suspects until March 17.

Smith, 41-year-old Charles Eric Honest and 32-year-old Dewann Wesley White were charged last month with one count of murder in the killing of Maurilio Ponce in Lancaster. They were arrested this week and are being held on $1 million bail.

Anthony Smith played for the Los Angeles and Oakland Raiders from 1991 to 1998.

Gallery said, “With the end of the league year coming today, and the few conversations I’ve had with the Raiders and Mr. Davis, we’ve come to a mutual agreement that it’s time for me to move on with my career,” Gallery said Thursday from his home in the Oakland area. “I appreciate the start that they and Mr. Davis gave me and I truly have enjoyed my time wearing the silver and black. I wish them well, I thank the fans and I take away great memories of my time in Oakland.”

The Raiders are expected to turn to Bruce Campbell replace Gallery on the offensive line.  Campbell was last year’s fourth round pick.

The Oakland Raiders also reached a long-term deal with cornerback Stanford Routt and an agreement with defensive tackle John Henderson on a two-year, $8 million contract, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Raiders originally hoped to use a $3.5 million buyback option to keep Wimbley under contract for next season for just over $4 million.

But Wimbley’s agent, Joe Linta, said the NFL determined that deal violated rules prohibiting base salaries rising more than 30 percent in a year. That led to the Raiders decision to use the franchise tag, which is projected to be worth about $10 million.

“Kamerion is a great young talent and he and the Raiders are excited about him continuing his career as a member of the Silver and Black,” coach Hue Jackson said.

Kamerion Wimbley led Oakland with nine sacks last season after coming over from Cleveland in a trade for a third-round pick. Keeping him was a key priority this offseason for owner Al Davis.

“We look forward to working with Mr. Davis on a long-term deal,” Linta said.

Among the other key potential free agents for Oakland are tight end Zach Miller, running back Michael Bush, safety Michael Huff, and offensive lineman Robert Gallery.

The Oakland Raiders also re-signed running back and key special teams contributor Rock Cartwright before he could become a free agent.
