The Las Vegas Raiders continue to rebuild and retool their roster, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
On Saturday, the Raiders added veteran running back Theo Riddick to their roster. And in a corresponding move, the team released former CFL star William Stanback, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
