Isaiah Pola-Mao : Back with Raiders
The Raiders re-signed Pola-Mao on Thursday. Pola-Mao has been a significant contributor on special teams for his first two seasons in the league. He also managed the first pick of his career in 2023, though he's not likely to see many defensive snaps in 2024.
Zamir White : Backfield depth added by Las Vegas
Following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs, White is the Raiders' expected starter at running back, with Alexander Mattison likely to serve as his top backup, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Once Jacobs departed, it seemed inevitable that the Raiders would fortify their running back corps, either through free agency, the draft, or both. In Mattison, the team adds a player who made 13 starts for the Vikings last season, but at this stage it appears as though White -- who finished the 2023 regular season strong -- has the inside track to lead Las Vegas' backfield in 2024 while Mattison can spell him on early downs as well as offer a receiving threat in passing situations. In such a scenario, White would maintain fantasy utility, though his upside in that regard could hinge on how much volume he cedes to Mattison. Meanwhile, Ameer Abdullah remains on hand to provide a change-of-pace presence, with Brittain Brown, Sincere McCormick and Tyreik McAllister also in the depth mix.
Alexander Mattison : Set to join Las Vegas backfield
Mattison is in line to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. In 16 games for the Vikings during the 2023 regular season, Mattison had 180 carries for 700 yards and caught 30 of his 44 targets for 192 yards and three receiving TDs. With the Raiders, Mattison -- who turns 26 in June -- is slated to provide the team with needed backfield depth and a complementary option alongside 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs. Assuming White serves as Las Vegas' top RB option, Mattison's weekly upside will be modest, but if White is injured or struggles at all as the 2024 season progresses, Mattison could reenter the fantasy lineup equation.
John Jenkins : Sticking in Las Vegas
Jenkins re-signed with the Raiders on Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Jenkins logged career highs in both tackles (61) and passes defended (four) during his first season with the Raiders last year. The 359-pound defensive tackle spent three of the previous four seasons with the Dolphins, and he was reportedly hosted for a visit by the team last week, per Jackson. But, Jenkins will ultimately head back to the Raiders on a one-year deal worth $3.25 million, according to Amber Wilson of ESPN. Jenkins has played for seven different teams during his 12-year career, and he will enter his age-35 season in 2024.
Adam Butler : Brought back by Las Vegas
The Raiders re-signed Butler on a one-year deal Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The 29-year-old will now remain in Las Vegas after spending last season with the Raiders. Butler appeared in all 17 of the Raiders' games last season, primarily serving as a rotational defensive lineman. He racked up 28 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, while also defending four passes and forcing one fumble. Butler is expected to compete for a similar role on Las Vegas' defense once again this offseason.
Harrison Bryant : Signs one-year deal with Vegas
Bryant has agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Bryant is slated to replace Austin Hooper as the the veteran backup to 2023 second-round draft pick Michael Mayer (toe) in Vegas. After exceeding 200 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons, Bryant had just 81 yards with the Browns in the 2023 regular season despite suiting up for all 17 games. He can make up to $4 million in 2024 with incentives.
Aidan O'Connell : Gets competition for starting gig
O'Connell (finger) looks set to compete with Gardner Minshew, whom the Raiders plan to ink to a two-year, $25 million deal, for the starting quarterback job, Tashan Reed, Larry Holder and Jeff Howe of The Athletic report. O'Connell put together a solid rookie campaign for a fourth-round pick across 11 regular-season appearances (10 starts), completing 213 of 343 pass attempts for 2,218 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Minshew is an established veteran and represents real competition for O'Connell, having thrown for 3,305 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and nine INTs across 13 starts with Indianapolis last season, but the 2023 draft pick out of Purdue could get a real chance to compete this offseason. Of course, things could get murkier if Las Vegas bolsters the QB position in April's draft, and this is an offense that will need to transform after losing Josh Jacobs to Green Bay in free agency.
Zamir White : Stands atop depth chart
White is situated as Las Vegas' top running back entering the new league year with Josh Jacobs slated to ink a four-year, $48 million contract with the Packers, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports. White is facing real opportunity atop the Raiders' depth chart after an impressive end to the 2023 campaign in which he averaged 114.3 yards from scrimmage per game across the team's last four contests with Jacobs sidelined. While Las Vegas still could add significant backfield competition via free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft, White currently has few established names behind him aside from special-teams ace Ameer Abdullah, whom the Raiders opted to re-sign. White's final numbers across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023 came to just 104 rushes for 451 yards and one touchdown, plus 15 catches for 98 yards on 19 targets, but the 2022 fourth-round pick has a clear path to a significantly increased workload looking ahead to the 2024 campaign.
