Keep up with all of Las Vegas’ UDFA additions
The 2024 NFL draft is almost over, but don’t worry. That doesn’t mean the rookie player addition period is over.
It’s about to get busy all over again. As soon as the draft is over, the race for undrafted free agents will begin for the 32 NFL teams. Really, it has already started. Teams are already discussing UDFA deals with players in case they are not drafted.
The Las Vegas Raiders are, already talking to potential free-agent additions led by first-year general manager Tom Telesco and his staff. The actual signing process starts as soon as the draft is over and will continue for the next several days.
While these players aren’t overly hyped, several undrafted free agents make impacts every year. So, this is an important part of the Raiders’ roster-building process.
Below is our reported Raiders’ undrafted free agent tracker. It will be updated as the news comes in. Remember, nothing is official until the team announces it. Every year, a few players agree to terms with a team and then sign elsewhere because a better deal emerges:
