Couple recent Raiders first round picks among NFL cuts

Couple recent Raiders first round picks among NFL cuts

Happy Former Raiders First Rounders Getting Cut Day for all those who celebrate. Today it’s Alex Leatherwood and Johnathan Abram who are getting their walking papers by the team they were hoping to latch on with.

Leatherwood was the Raiders top pick in the 2021 draft. He lasted just one season for the Raiders before being cut. He played four games with the Bears in 2022 and hasn’t seen an NFL snap since. He signed onto the Browns’ practice squad last season and wasn’t brought back. Then signed with the Chargers this past offseason. Now he’s looking for work again.

Abram was taken at 27 overall in the 2019 draft. He was in his fourth season with the Raiders and was released midway through the season. He was claimed by the Packers and cut after two games then signed by the Seahawks where he finished the season. He appeared in nine games with the Saints last season.

The other five first round picks for the Raiders the past five years:

2023 DE Tyree Wilson — Backup for Raiders

2020 WR Henry Ruggs — Prison

2020 CB Damon Arnette — Out of the league

2019 DE Clelin Ferrell — On his third NFL team (Washington)

2019 RB Josh Jacobs — Signed with Green Bay this offseason

Projecting the Chargers’ 17-man practice squad

The Chargers can start constructing their practice squad on Wednesday. Here is who we think will make it.

The Chargers trimmed their roster to 53 on Tuesday, but the work in building the roster is not yet done. More moves will come before the opening of the season, beginning with the construction of LA’s practice squad on Wednesday afternoon.

While the NFL has a limit of 16 players on the practice squad, Los Angeles has an exemption to add defensive lineman CJ Okoye as a 17th player through the International Player Pathway Program. For that reason, this projection includes 17 players.
