The same day Gruden said the Raiders would be bringing in linebackers to work out for the team Surprise! They apparently already did because they’re signing one. They’re adding rookie linebacker Dakota Allen off the Rams practice squad according to multiple reports.
Allen was a seventh round pick by the Rams last April out of Texas Tech. He had 249 combined tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, and 4 interceptions in three seasons with the Red Raiders.
This may not be the only linebacker the Raiders add to the roster, although it would appear Brandon Marshall will not be one of them.
