The Raiders have signed veteran cornerback Nevin Lawson, the team announced Wednesday night.
Lawson has played for the Lions since 2014 and joins a young Raiders cornerbacks group led by 23-year-old Gareon Conley and 24-year-old Daryl Worley. Lawson, who turns 28 in April, started 46 of 47 games he played in for the Lions over the last three seasons (46 regular season games and one playoff game).
He registered 18 passes defensed and 152 total tackles while playing both outside cornerback and in the slot, though he’s never intercepted a pass in 63 career games since 2014.
