Raiders Sign Former Broncos, Release Two Receivers

The Las Vegas Raiders have been actively reshaping their roster under the new regime of head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, seeking significant changes after a disappointing previous season. Recently, the Raiders released veteran wide receiver Kyle Philips and tight end Pat Conroy, signing wide receiver Kawaan Baker and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam to add depth to their offense. Okwuegbunam, a former Denver Broncos fourth-round pick with experience on several teams, brings size and speed but faces stiff competition in a crowded tight end group featuring Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, and Ian Thomas. Separately, the Raiders traded for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV to address instability at the defensive tackle position, while defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers after being released by the Packers. These moves illustrate the Raiders' commitment to revamping both their offense and defense as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season.
