The Facts:
Despite reports that he was heading to Tampa Bay to join new Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith's staff, Tony Sparano is staying with the Oakland Raiders. The team announced late Friday afternoon that Sparano has signed a two-year contract to remain the Raiders' assistant head coach/offensive line coach.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Heading into the week, only offensive coordinator Greg Olson and linebackers coach Bob Sanders had contracts for 2014 among HC Dennis Allen's assistants. Now, with Sparano getting two years, his contract length and, thus, job security is now the same as Allen's. The obvious positive: Sparano being retained ensures continuity on the offensive line.
