Raiders Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 29th, 2023 at 10:47pm CST by Ben Levine

The Raiders cut down their roster to 53 players today. However, in the process, they were forced to move on from a handful of veterans:

Released:

Waived:

DE David Agoha
DT Matthew Butler
G McClendon Curtis
TE Cole Fotheringham
S Jaydon Grant
CB Tyler Hall
CB Azizi Hearn
LB Kana’i Mauga
RB Sincere McCormick
G Netane Muti
DE Adam Plant
TE John Samuel Shenker
DE George Tarlas
LB Drake Thomas
CB Sam Webb

Placed on IR:

OT Dalton Wagner

The Raiders signed Jaquan Johnson early during free agency, and there was hope he’d provide some experienced depth to their secondary. Ultimately, the team decided to go in another direction, but that doesn’t mean the safety won’t quickly find another gig elsewhere. Johnson got into 60 games for the Bills over the past four years, including a 2022 campaign where he finished with a career-high 32 tackles and one interception.

On the other side of the ball, the organization moved on from some notable offensive weapons. Keelan Cole Sr. got into 14 games for the Raiders last season, collecting 10 receptions for 141 yards. Phillip Dorsett II joined Las Vegas this offseason after spending the 2022 campaign with the Texans, where he hauled in 20 catches. Damien Williams has close to 500 touches in the NFL, although he only got into one game for the lowly Falcons last season.

Raiders Add 10 UDFAs

May 13th, 2023 at 12:41pm CST by Ben Levine

The Raiders announced that they’ve added 10 undrafted free agents plus one player from the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program:

DL David Agoha (NFL I.P.P)
G McClendon Curtis (Chattanooga)
S Jaydon Grant (Oregon State)
CB Azizi Hearn (UCLA)
DE Brock Martin (Oklahoma State)
CB Jordan Perryman (Washington)
DE Adam Plant (UNLV)
TE John Shenker (Auburn)
DE George Tarlas (Boise State)
LB Drake Thomas (N.C. State)
OT Dalton Wagner (Arkansas)

The Raiders were busy adding some defensive line help. Brock Martin started 34 of his 62 games at Oklahoma State, compiling 145 tackles, 40 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks. Adam Plant had a career year in 2022 at UNLV, finishing with 62 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, eight sacks, and three forced fumbles in 11 games. George Tarlas had 25 tackles for loss and 19 sacks in 45 career games at Weber State before transferring to Boise State.

The team’s two OL additions got chunks of cash. Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com tweets that McClendon Curtis got $210K in guaranteed money, while Doug Kyed AtoZSports tweets that Dalton Wagner got $225K in guaranteed money. Curtis earned an All-American nod at Chattanooga last year and Wagner was a two-time All-SEC selection.

Jaydon Grant is the most accomplished of the team’s UDFA additions in the secondary, with the Oregon State product compiling nine interceptions in 51 games. Azizi Hearn spent time at Arizona and Wyoming before transferring to UCLA for the 2022 campaign.
