Raiders Trim Roster To 53

By Sam Robinson | at August 31, 2021 4:56 pm

Some of the Raiders’ cuts became known earlier Tuesday, with the team parting ways with Karl Joseph and John Brown. Here are the rest of the moves Las Vegas made to reach the 53-man roster limit:

Released:

Waived:

LB Asmar Bilal (waived/injured)
TE Matt Bushman
G Lester Cotton
DT Matt Dickerson
WR Keelan Doss
TE Alex Ellis (waived/injured)
RB B.J. Emmons
DE Gerri Green
RB Garrett Groshek
OT Devery Hamilton
CB Isaiah Johnson
OL Jaryd Jones-Smith
S Dallin Leavitt
C Jimmy Morrissey
OL Jeremiah Poutasi
RB Trey Ragas
LB Max Richardson
DT Niles Scott
WR Dillon Stoner
WR DJ Turner
DE Kendal Vickers

Several of these players will be invited to stick around on Las Vegas’ practice squad, with the NFL greenlighting a second year of 16-man taxi squads. The Raiders’ cutting Brown and Doss keeps Willie Snead and Zay Jones on their active roster. Johnson played a part-time role on the Raiders’ defense last season, while Carrier has been with the team for the past four years. The Raiders re-signed him in March. Wreh-Wilson was aiming to catch on for a ninth NFL season, and while the former Titans and Falcons cornerback may do so, the Raiders halted his effort to land on their initial 53-man roster.

Raiders Sign TE Alex Ellis

By Ben Levine | at June 2, 2021 9:03 pm

Journeyman Alex Ellis is joining his seventh organization. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports (via Twitter) that the veteran tight end is signing with the Raiders.

The 2016 undrafted free agent out of Tennessee has bounced around the NFL over the past four-plus years, spending time with the Titans, Jaguars, Saints, Chiefs, Eagles, and (phew) Patriots. The tight end saw time on a career-high 124 snaps with Jacksonville in 2016, a season in which he started three games.

The 28-year-old’s last appearance in a regular season game was in 2019, when he saw time in three games for Philly. He caught on with the Patriots last August but was let go before the regular season.

Ellis will be joining a crowded depth chart is Las Vegas. Behind starter Darren Waller, the team is also rostering tight ends Foster Moreau, Derek Carrier, Nick Bowers, Matt Bushman, and Carson Williams. While Ellis has more NFL experience than a handful of those players, it’s no guarantee he ends up making the roster.
