Happy Friday, everyone. The Raiders wrapped up some business before the weekend, signing round four pick CB Jakorian Bennett to his rookie contract.
The former Maryland star cornerback was selected at pick 104 in the early part of the fourth round of April’s draft. He signs a four-year, $4.67 million deal. It carries a cap amount of $956K for this season which falls below the top 51 and thus doesn’t count against this year’s cap.
With Bennett’s signing, the Raiders have no locked in their entire rookie class. Here is that class:
Round 1, pick 7 ED Tyree Wilson
Round 2, pick 35 TE Michael Mayer
Round 3, pick 70 DT Byron Young
Round 3, pick 100 WR Tre Tucker
Round 4, pick 104 CB Jakorian Bennett
Round 4, pick 135 QB Aidan O’Connell
Round 5, pick 170 S Christopher Smith II
Round 6, pick 203 LB Amari Burney
Round 7, pick 231 DT Nesta Jade Silvera
Of these signings, only Wilson, Mayer, and Young at picks 7, 35, and 70 will earn enough this season to count against the 2023 salary cap. They will count a combined $7.3 million against the cap.
