Mike Gillislee will participate in his third known workout for a team this year. The Raiders are set to audition the former Dolphins, Bills, Patriots and Saints running back, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
The 28-year-old back worked out for the Lions and Jaguars earlier this year. He has not been able to replicate his take-notice work with the 2016 Bills, for whom he scored nine touchdowns and averaged 5.7 yards per carry as LeSean McCoy‘s backup.
After a three-touchdown opening night with the 2017 Pats, Gillislee has not been given many opportunities. He saw his New England role reduced as 2017 wore on and received just 16 carries in four games with New Orleans last season.
The Raiders re-signed Doug Martin and gave Jalen Richard a second-round tender. Those two represent Oakland’s top depth pieces behind assumed starter Josh Jacobs. Reggie McKenzie-era draft pick DeAndre Washington remains on the roster as well.

He was pretty sought after then he just fell off the map
