Raiders general manager Tom Telesco is still adding to the roster after the NFL Draft.

In preparation for training camp, Tom Telesco continued to hone the Las Vegas Raiders roster on Monday.

Following the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan, it became evident that the Las Vegas Raiders team still need improvement. Tom Telesco did a good job of bringing in quality players and covering certain gaps, but more support was required if the team was going to be a real playoff contender the next year.

Wide receiver was one position that needed additional depth following the NFL Draft, and Telesco has been working to satisfy that need with a few veteran players. Initially, he selected wide receiver Michael Gallup, a former Dallas Cowboys 1,000-yard wide out who might start as the team’s third wide receiver in his debut season in silver and black.

On Monday, Telesco continued to stack talent at the position group, going with a familiar face in Jalen Guyton, who played for Telesco with the Chargers across the last five seasons. He had some good years in that run, but will likely just be a depth guy on the Raiders, who already have Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, Gallup, and Tre Tucker atop the depth chart.

Still, this is a quality veteran at the position who should be able to help the Raiders in some capacity next season.

Andrus Peat

Another strong signing by the Raiders on Monday was Andrus Peat, a versatile offensive lineman that has been named to the Pro Bowl three times. Peat can play up and down the line, giving the Raiders depth at both offensive guard and tackle, as Telesco continues to try and build this roster around both lines.

These two acquisitions are excellent for the Raiders because they provide depth where it is needed and will likely lead to more intense practices. As we approach training camp, Telesco should be able to examine several defensive free agents. He has done an excellent job rebuilding this squad the way he wants it.
