The Raiders have agreed to sign Devontae Booker, according to Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 (Twitter link). On Thursday morning, the deal was also confirmed by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter). 
Booker, formerly of the Broncos, will look to stick as a backup to Josh Jacobs. The Raiders also have third-round rookie Lynn Bowden on hand, so there are no more than two spots up for grabs on their RB depth chart. Jalen Richard and Rod Smith are also vying for their spots.
Booker was drafted in the fourth-round of the 2016 draft and went on to have an inconsistent run with the Broncos. As a rookie, he started in six games and finished out with 31 catches and 877 all-purpose yards. After that, he continued to play a role on passing downs, but his workload fluctuated over time and his carries dwindled. Last year, Booker suited up for all 16 games, but finished out with just two totes and six catches.By comparison, he had 105 catches and 289 carries from 2016-2018.

BOOKER Jon-o !!
Jacobs was used as a pass catching back at bama I wonder why the raiders don’t seem to trust him in that role. Richards and booker are both more pass catching backs than power runners
I don’t think it has anything to do with not trusting him. You need multiple backs. Jacobs can be on the field in any situation. Richard is a good receiver and blocker and a smaller runner. They need a more traditional between the tackles backup to Jacobs as well. This is just camo competition for that role. Doesn’t mean much now. Jacobs will get his
Booker was a major disappointment in Denver, but he does offer a good skill set as a pass blocker and a pass catcher and has been willing to work on special teams. He’s a good piece, provided on he is not relied to stand in long term for a starter. Booker is not as an agile nor does he break enough tackles to run inside consistently, but he is a hard worker and can be used as depth effectively.
