The Raiders are bringing one of their key backups to Vegas. They reached an agreement to re-sign Jordan Devey on Thursday, Mike Garafolo tweets.
Devey agreed to a one-year, $880K deal to head to Oakland last year. Coming off a season marred by a torn pectoral muscle, Devey likely agreed to similar terms with the now-Las Vegas Raiders.
Starting for the injured Gabe Jackson in each of the Raiders’ four September games, Devey went down in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season. Devey, 32, played 17 games with the Chiefs from 2016-18. His most notable starting experience came with the 2015 49ers, who used him as a starter in nine games.
This will be another continuity-based step for the Raiders. They are set to bring back their entire starting offensive line — a unit that ranked sixth both in Football Outsiders’ adjusted line yards and adjusted sack rate — and now will have Devey back in the fold as a swing man. Fellow backup interior lineman Denzelle Good remains on the team as well, being signed through 2020.
