Raiders Sign Three Players to Reserve/Future Contracts
Just over a week after signing 15 players to reserve/future contracts, the Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they have added three more players to said deals.
The Raiders signed guard Ben Brown, safety Tyreque Jones and running back Tyreik McAllister to reserve/future contracts.
Brown was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022 before the club waived him that August. Just two days later, he was signed by the Seattle Seahawks.
The 25-year-old played only one game for Seattle in 2023, having played but eight offensive snaps and seven special teams snaps. The Seahawks released Brown in November. He was signed to the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad on Jan. 1. but was not signed to a reserve/future contract.
Brown played four years at Mississippi after redshirting his freshman season. After moving from guard, Brown became known as one of the best centers in the nation. His college career unfortunately was cut short when he tore a biceps midway through his final season.
Brown's draft stock tanked as a result, thus causing him to go undrafted.

Jones was another undrafted free agent who was signed by the Tennessee Titans last May. He was waived as part of August roster cuts and picked up two days later by the New York Jets, who signed him to their practice squad. New York released Jones in October.
Less than a week later, Jones was signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad.
Jones played six years at Boise State, where he was named an All-Mountain West Honorable Mention for each of his final two seasons.
McAllister also was an undrafted free agent. He was signed by the Denver Broncos in 2022, but never got an opportunity to play a game for Denver and was released last May.
Last year, McAllister played 16 games for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. He totaled 1,037 rushing yards, 364 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.
The young running back played five seasons at the University of Charleston.
From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.
The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
