Trading Ryan Switzer and signing Jarell Carter was just the start of the Raiders’ moves today, as the team has signed former Central Missouri and Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Connor Flagel and cut offensive tackle Breno Giacomini. They have also placed WR Griff Whalen on the reserve/injured list.
Giacomini signed with the Raiders this offseason with the expectation of becoming their starter at right tackle, but he was injured a few weeks ago in camp and hasn’t been able to practice or play. With Donald Penn seemingly entrenched at right tackle, Giacomini became expendable for the Raiders.
