The Raiders have signed defensive lineman Malcolm Taylor to a four-year contract that will pay an average of $325,000 per year, said Taylor’s agent, Neal Allen, Tuesday.

Taylor, 6 feet 5 inches, 285 pounds, from Tennessee State, was a fifth-round draft selection by the Houston Oilers in 1982. He was signed by the Raiders as a free agent last year after being released by the Oilers. His 1987 Raider salary was $90,000, Allen said.
