Raiders Sign Jeremy Chinn, Replace Moehrig with $16 Million Deal

The Las Vegas Raiders have lost key defensive players Tre'von Moehrig and Robert Spillane to free agency, with Moehrig signing a lucrative three-year deal with the Carolina Panthers worth $51 million. In response, the Raiders quickly secured former Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Chinn on a two-year contract valued at over $16 million, which is 75% guaranteed. Chinn, who had a standout year with 117 tackles last season, is expected to fill Moehrig's role, although he doesn't possess the same upside. The Raiders now have two potential starting safeties in Chinn and Isaiah Pola-Mao following these changes. While Chinn's performance in coverage raised concerns, he has shown strength against the run, aligning him well with the Raiders' defensive strategy. The team's new regime under head coach Pete Carroll is focused on rebuilding the defense after losing its homegrown talent.
