As players arrived for the first day of the Raiders offseason program, the team took care of some business. Along with adding free agent edge rusher Tashawn Bowers, the Raiders brought back a couple of their own by signing the tenders of Exclusive Rights Free Agent DB Roderic Teamer as well as TE Nick Bowers.
Teamer joined the Raiders last offseason, coming over from the Chargers. He would appear in ten games, starting the final two games as well as the team’s wild card playoff game at safety due in part to the injury to Johnathan Abram.
Bowers signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State prior to the start of the 2020 season. After spending the entire 2020 season on the team’s practice squad, Bowers was called up to the active roster five times last season, seeing a total of 40 snaps on offense and 39 snaps on special teams. He has yet to record a statistic of any kind.
