The Raiders continued to add to their secondary this offseason by signing free-agent cornerback Senquez Golson, per a team release. The terms of the deal have yet to be reported.
The Steelers made Golson a second-round pick in 2015 but he never played a down in his career with them. He spent the first two years of his career on injured reserve. He suffered another injury in the 2017 preseason and was waived by the Steelers. He was signed to the Buccaneers’ practice squad but was released shortly after and has yet to appear in a regular-season game.
The Raiders have been busy adding pieces to their secondary this offseason. They signed cornerback Rashaan Melvin to a one-year, $5.5MM deal, safety Marcus Gilchrist to a one-year, $4MM deal, cornerback Leon Hall to a one-year, $1.01MM deal, cornerback Shareece Wright to a one-year, $1.01MM deal and re-signed Reggie Nelson to a one-year deal.
Melvin and Gareon Conley are projected to start at cornerback, with Reggie Nelson and Karl Joseph projected to start at safety. The team parted ways with cornerbacks David Amerson and Sean Smith earlier this offseason.
Probably got hurt signing the contract…
Ruptured flexor tendon
This guy has had the best NFL career ever. He gets hurt, can’t be cut, gets paid all year and has no CTE.
Genius.
Yeh, like he injured himself on purpose just so he can get ‘free’ money.
Do you honestly believe some of the comments that you make? RME.
Josh Miller has talked on multiple occasions how bubble guys fake injuries at the end of camp to “get free money”.
Should I believe his informed knowledge or your uninformed doubt?
I hope that you can stay healthy, Senquez. What could’ve been.
