Here is Friday’s only minor NFL move in the wake of today’s big transaction:
Las Vegas Raiders
- Signed ERFA tender: S Tristin McCollum
After Vegas tendered him as an exclusive rights free agent, McCollum didn’t have much of a choice but to sign in order to play in the 2026 NFL season. In doing so, he returns to provide the Raiders with some solid safety depth and special teams experience. As an undrafted rookie with the Eagles out of Sam Houston State, McCollum only saw specials teams work in two games before getting a chance for playing time on defense in the regular season finale. In Year 2 in Philadelphia, McCollum earned two starts on the defense and saw significant defensive snaps in four more games.
After getting waived at the roster cut deadline last year, McCollum was claimed by the Raiders. He didn’t earn any starts in his third year of play, but he was a core special teamer and saw a significant share of defensive snaps in three games. With the departure of Lonnie Johnson Jr. to Miami in free agency, McCollum has a chance to step into a key third safety role behind Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn in 2026.
