Denzelle Good apparently made a good impression during his late-season run with the Raiders. Adam Caplan reports (via Twitter) that the offensive lineman has signed a one-year extension with the organization. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweets that the deal is worth $1.8MM and could hit a maximum value of $3MM.
The 2015 seventh-round pick spent the first three-plus seasons of his career with the Colts, including a 2016 campaign where he started 10 games. However, the 6-foot-5 offensive tackle could never establish a role in Indy, and the team ended up waiving him this past December.
The 27-year-old was subsequently claimed by the Raiders. When Gabe Jackson went down with an injury, Good filled in at right guard for his new team, earning three starts down the stretch. While he didn’t earn enough snaps to qualify for Pro Football Focus‘ rankings, he did receive relatively solid marks for his run blocking.
Good might not have another opportunity to start in 2019, but he should provide the Raiders with solid depth. The team only has several linemen hitting free agency, including Chaz Green and Jon Feliciano, and T.J. Clemmings, meaning there will surely be competitions on the offensive line come training camp.
GOOD move
Good pun
