Especially with Brandon Facyson getting placed on injured reserve, the Las Vegas Raiders needed a veteran presence at cornerback after cutdown day. So, Tom Telesco brought in someone familiar with Patrick Graham’s system by signing Darnay Holmes, who played for Graham during his first two seasons with the New York Giants.
The Giants cut Holmes at the end of training camp, but he can be a solid depth piece on the Raiders’ roster this season. The four-year pro has primarily been a slot corner during his career, and Las Vegas needs a backup at that spot.
