  "account": "The Oakland Raiders surprised many by holding a staggering 16-player workout session this week. This suggested they were far from finished with roster adjustments. The workouts featured players at various positions, including wide receiver Ronnie Bell, tight end Josh Kattus, and two defensive linemen, Colby Sorsdal and David Blay. However, only three players were eventually signed by the team after the workout: wide receiver Ronnie Bell, guard Evan Neal, and edge rusher Azeez Ojulari. The workouts highlighted a clear lack of depth at the edge rusher and cornerback positions, with three players each showing interest from the Raiders. Cornerback cornerback Darrell Luter was added via waivers, while Decamerion Richardson was waived and claimed off waivers by the Saints.",
  "summary": "The Raiders were busy on Thursday, hosting an eye-popping 16 players for workouts and signing three of them.",
