Link to story Raiders | Cam Miller signs rookie deal Sun May 11, 07:27 AM
Las Vegas Raiders sixth-round draft choice QB Cam Miller signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Thursday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Cam Miller is a player with a ton of moxie to his game. Like most South Dakota State quarterbacks, Miller has experience running a pro scheme and is known as a leader on the field. He's a mobile pocket passer who has a bit of Sam Howell (Vikings) to his game. Miller can read the defense quickly, and he can efficiently work the ball on short-to-intermediate routes. He doesn't have a big arm, and NFL EDGE rushers could feast on his if he's slow to react to the rush. We'll monitor Miller in crazy deep dynasty formats. |

Link to story Raiders | Dont'e Thornton signs deal Sat May 10, 05:11 PM
Las Vegas Raiders fourth-round draft choice WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders opened their rookie minicamp on Friday when Thornton went through his first official NFL practice. The 6-5, 205-pound Thornton, who clocked a 4.3-second 40 time at the NFL Scouting Combine, led Tennessee with 661 yards and six touchdowns on just 26 receptions thanks to an FBS-best six catches of 50-plus yards. Thornton will likely be a project in Las Vegas, as the Raiders' coaching staff will have a development plan for the talented receiver. Thornton has flashed his potential but did so in limited playing time on the collegiate level. |

Link to story Raiders | Las Vegas has high hopes for Tommy Mellott Mon May 5, 03:58 PM
Las Vegas Raiders sixth-round draft choice QB/WR Tommy Mellott is a 'unique guy' who the team views as an 'athlete/receiver,' according to college scouting director Brandon Yeargan.'We view him as a receiver that's going to have a lot of value in the kicking game, potentially as a returner, as a cover player, maybe play some quarterback, too. We're looking (at him) really as an athlete/receiver, but he's a unique guy,' Yeargan said.
| Footballguys view: As Review-Journal staffer Vincent Bonsignore noted, Mellott caught the attention of several NFL scouts and coaches with an electrifying pro day at Montana State on April 4. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, posted a 41-inch vertical jump, and recorded a 10-foot, 4-inch broad jump. He threw passes as a quarterback and then caught them as a receiver. Bonsignore reports the Raiders have a broader vision for Mellott, much like the Patriots did with Julian Edelman when they selected him in the seventh round of the 2009 draft. The former Kent State quarterback became an excellent receiver and the MVP of Super Bowl 53. However, Mellot has much to prove before he's viewed as a potential fantasy asset. |

Link to story Raiders | Collin Johnson headed to Sin City Thu May 1, 01:40 PM
Free-agent WR Collin Johnson (Bears) signed an undisclosed contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, May 1.
| Footballguys view: Coming out of Texas, Johnson was a fifth-round pick for the Jaguars in the 2020 NFL draft, and he's bounced around the league since then. In 2022, Johnson tore his Achilles' and missed the entire season for the Giants. He's spent the last two years with the Bears as a reserve receiver. The Raiders spent draft capital at the receiver position this year, so Johnson will be hard pressed to make the final roster. |
