The Las Vegas Raiders ' roster isn't likely to undergo any major changes in the coming weeks, but the team will continue to tinker with smaller moves. With training camp about to start for the whole team, they decided to make a few moves.
The Raiders announced that they have signed wide receiver Deven Thompkins , linebacker Buddy Johnson and defensive end Patrick Johnson. Thompkins was recently with the Buffalo Bills this offseason, but they cut him. He has familiarity with general manager John Spytek, as he was an undrafted free agent signing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022 when he was still in that front office.

Thompkins spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons and has 29-career catches. The Raiders' linebacker corps was very young behind Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker , so they decided to bring in another veteran in Buddy Johnson. He was a fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021. He has bounced around the NFL, and the Raiders will be his seventh team. He has mostly played special teams in his career.
Patrick Johnson was also part of the 2021 draft class, as he was a seventh-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles . He has played 70 games throughout his career, but only got his first sack last season. He's also mostly a special teams player.
