Raiders Re-Sign Ameer Abdullah to One-Year Deal

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah will be staying for another season.

The club signed Abdullah to a one-year contract, according to a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on Thursday.

Abdullah played in all 17 games for the Silver and Black last season, finishing with 211 yards on 25 receptions.

His best game of the season came in Week 12 when he posted 39 receiving yards against the Seattle Seahawks, including an 18-yard touchdown catch to put the Raiders on the board in the first quarter.

The veteran running back was brought on by Las Vegas as a free agent almost one year ago after spending the 2021 season with the Minnesota Vikings and the Carolina Panthers.

Drafted by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Abdullah spent three-plus seasons in Detroit, where he totaled 1,251 rushing yards and 420 receiving yards.

Abdullah would finish the 2018 season in Minnesota, where he resided before being released in October of 2021. He was picked up by the Panthers two days later.

All in all, Abdullah has registered 1,594 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, along with 1,076 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns in his 10-year NFL career.
