Jaylon Smith’s NFL comeback will continue with Las Vegas.
Smith is signing with the Raiders after the linebacker had a successful veteran tryout at the club’s rookie minicamp this weekend, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Smith, 29, last played one game with the Raiders in 2023, making this his second stint with the team.
Aside from that experience a couple of years ago, Smith played under Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham with the Giants in 2021.

One name who won't be returning is wide receiver Jeff Foreman.
Las Vegas announced that they've waived Foreman with a failed physical designation. He was an undrafted free agent signing of the Raiders last season, but wasn't able to get on the field for a single game despite injuries at the position.

Raiders Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents
May 11th, 2025 at 5:19pm CST by Nikhil Mehta
The Raiders have signed 15 undrafted free agents, bringing their rookie class to 26 players. Here are Las Vegas’ UDFA signings:
Tank Booker, DT (SMU)
Dominic Boyd, OT (Georgia Southern)
Hudson Clark, S (Arkansas)
Parker Clements, OT (Virginia Tech)
Pat Conroy, TE (Old Dominion)
Mello Dotson, CB (Kansas)
Zakhari Franklin, WR (Illinois)
Jarrod Hufford, C (Iowa State)
John Humphrey, CB (USC)
Matt Jones, LB (Baylor)
Jah Joyner, DE (Minnesota)
Treven Ma’ae, DT (Baylor)
Carter Runyon, TE (Towson)
Greedy Vance, CB (USC)
Jailin Walker, LB (Indiana)
Dotson was a four-year starter at Kansas opposite fellow undrafted Jayhawks corner Cobee Bryant. Dotson isn’t an elite athlete but has a natural feel for shadowing receivers and excellent ball skills. He recorded 27 passes defended and nine interceptions in the last two years, including four pick-sixes that showcased his playmaking instincts on and with the ball.
Joyner recorded 12 sacks and 13 tackles for loss for Minnesota in the last two years, though 2024 was his only season as a starter. He has an enticing frame (6-foot-4, 262 pounds) with 34-inch arms that he uses in a variety of ways, most effectively as a run defender setting the edge. He’s a solid but unspectacular athlete who will need to refine his pass-rushing plan and accelerate his processing to NFL speed to earn a roster spot.
The Raiders signed him to a deal that includes $150K guaranteed, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Similarly, Wilson tells us that the team wanted to make sure they landed Clements’ signature and offered him $75K in guarantees to make it happen.
Walker spent three years at James Madison before transferring to Indiana in 2024. Despite facing better competition, he posted career-highs in tackles (82), tackles for loss (10), sacks (2.0), and passes defended (10). He ran a 4.40-second 40-yard dash at his pro day but weighs just 219 pounds. Walker explodes downhill against the run and as a blitzer and could push for a roster spot in Las Vegas as a special teams contributor.

[quote=LayneStaley post_id=1289122]Didn’t know where to post this but we couldn’t sell Wood .1%?[/quote]Remember that we already have Brady as de facto owner, and Seymour in the "former HoF player who's sticking around" role.
Woodson, whose 0.1% stake would be much less than either Brady's 5% or Seymour's 0.5%, would come in third place in that group, and he knows it.

[quote=raiderjohn post_id=1289134]He is from Michigan.....uh okay, not sure what to make of it.[/quote]Nothing? He's a Raider.... always will be. I'm a die hard Buckeyes fan... so, him being from Michigan no longer mattered when he became a Raider... to me. This is just another business decision for him. I'm sure he still loves the Raiders.
