The Oakland Raiders have agreed on a two-year deal to keep free-agent safety Usama Young.

Agent Andy Simms said on Twitter on Saturday that Young will sign the deal to stay in Oakland. The Raiders have not made an announcement because the contract has not yet been signed.

Young joined the Raiders last season and played 12 games, mostly as a backup and on special teams, before being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury in December.

The 29-year-old Young had one interception, three passes defensed and 2 1/2 sacks with the Raiders.

Young spent his first four seasons in New Orleans when Oakland coach Dennis Allen ran the secondary for the Saints. He then played two years in Cleveland before joining Oakland.
