HENDERSON, Nev. -- Cory Littleton was supposed to be the crown jewel of the Las Vegas Raiders' 2020 free-agent class. Instead, the versatile linebacker, whose sideline-to-sideline coverage skills had been lauded, looked lost most of the season and admitted that he wasn't comfortable in the scheme until, oh, about mid-December.
Some nine months after signing that three-year, $35.25 million deal and ignominiously joining Miles Burris and Tahir Whitehead as the only Raiders linebackers in the past 10 years to play at least 600 snaps in a season and fail to record a sack, an interception, a forced fumble or a recovered fumble, per Associated Press.
