Libertarian NFL Punter Kluwe Signs with Oakland Raiders

Throughout their history, the Oakland Raiders have seen their share of colorful personalities. And in 2013, they're adding another, signing punter Chris Kluwe on Wednesday. The signing will be formally announced on Thursday.

Kluwe, who was released by the Minnesota Vikings on May 6, will step in for Pro Bowler Shane Lechler, who left Oakland for the Houston Texans via free agency. Kluwe's contract is for one year, and is for the league minimum.

"I'm excited to be an Oakland Raider and be playing in California," Kluwe, who attended high school in Southern California before going to UCLA, told me on Wednesday. "Now, my family can actually come to games."
