Raiders Sign Former Commanders 4th Round Pick

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed offensive lineman Braeden Daniels, who was once a fourth round pick by the Commanders.

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed former Washington Commanders offensive lineman Braeden Daniels, according to a Wednesday announcement. Despite spending only three seasons in the league, Daniels has played for seven different teams, most recently the Miami Dolphins. At 25 years old, Daniels' early career has been marked by challenges.

He missed his rookie season due to a torn rotator cuff in August 2023 and was released by the Commanders a year later. Since then, he has bounced around between practice squads in pursuit of a role. The Raiders may provide that opportunity, with Trey Zuhn III tackling the right tackle position, potentially creating a backup spot for Daniels.

Daniels will compete for that role alongside rookie third-round pick Caleb Rogers and potentially former Patriots fifth-round pick Antonio Mafi, who currently holds the second-string left guard position.
