Raiders signed LB Nakobe Dean, formerly of the Eagles, to a three-year, $36 million contract.

Dean gets $20 million in guaranteed money. The oft-injured linebacker has performed well when on the field for the Eagles after being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft but has missed 21 games over the previous three seasons. He’ll get a fresh start with the Raiders, a team that has gone out of their way to revitalize their defense in the first six hours of legal tampering ahead of the 2026 season. Dean is borderline elite against the run but has largely struggled in coverage throughout his career.
