Tommy to the Raiders

Great for Tommy! It’s incredibly hard to make it that far.

If Tommy makes it to the practice squad he'll be wearing a new number. Amari Cooper took 19 after Tommy was released. #4 is currently available.

The player who was wearing #4 in camp (Shedrick Jackson) is also reportedly being signed to the Practice Squad. We will see, hopefully not too many Bobcat fans jumped the gun and bought #19 jerseys! I have seen one around town in Bozeman.

Was just coming to post the same. Not sure how connected Silver and Black Pride, which purports to be part of SB Nation is. As of now, I can't find any corroborating articles.

Indeed. I'm glad my secondary notion about all this was probably incorrect.

What was that? That they weren’t giving him a fair shake?

The Raiders drafted 11 players.

Of those, 9 made the 53-man, and the other two FCS developmental picks got signed to the practice squad.

That’s a great hit rate for drafting so many rookies. Kept every one of them.

[Prodigal Cat]

Not sure it’s true.

[Prodigal Cat]

Not signed.

Well, just another reason for me to despise the Raiders.

Exactly. And it's not like the Raiders have a history of making terrible personnel decisions.

No, that they saw some huge flaws and had given up on him. But, as of now, looks like I was right. But this seems liquid.

The guy on Raider Report said he talked to Mellott about being on the practice squad. Said it was the first call he made.

[TomCat88]

Says he "reached out" to him first. Leads segment about practice squad with Mellott. 11:30 in

So now what?

[FA_Q_M]

Raiders are making a bunch of moves, and have 2 guys listed on their 53 that are headed to IR/injury settlements. My bet is they'll move 2 bodies from the PS to the 53 and officially add Tommy to the PS.

Is that likely since he didn't make the initial PS list?

The Raiders haven’t won a playoff game since 2002. So there’s that.
