Friday is the first time the Raiders’ rookies will take the field. It’s Rookie minicamp and the team is busy ensuring that several of those rookies hit that field with their contract behind them.
Thursday the team made a flurry of moves, signing fourth round cornerback Isaiah Johnson, tight end Foster Moreau, fifth round wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, and seventh round edge rusher Quinton Ball to their 4-year rookie deals. I can just picture the line out the door to get the deals done.
There isn’t really any wiggle room in these contracts, especially the later ones, so there is no reason for a holdup.
