The Oakland Raiders have allocated five players overseas to participate in the 2007 NFL Europa season - LB Ricardo Dickerson, WR Rich Parson, DB Levonne Rowan, DE Dave Tollefson, and WR Lauren Williams. These players were signed by the Raiders as free agents earlier this year.

He joined the Redskins in 2005 as an un-drafted free agent and signed with the Raiders in January of 2007.
Rowan, a 6'1", 190-pound Erie, Pa.,-native played in 46 career games while at the University of Wisconsin. He recorded 86 tackles and two interceptions and was also a member of the track team where he ran the 100-meters. He will be playing for the Frankfurt Galaxy during this NFL Europa season as a cornerback.
Tollefson, a 6'4", 265-pound Bay Area-native, attended Northwest Missouri State and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 2006 in the seventh round. He will be playing for the Frankfurt Galaxy.
Williams, a 6'3", 195-pound wide receiver, was signed by the Raiders in January of 2007 and will be playing for the Rhein Fire. While attending Liberty University, he had 70 receptions for 1,391 yards and eight touchdowns.
