NFL: Raiders sign sixth-round pick TE Myers
Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a four-year contract with sixth-round pick Brandon Myers.
The tight end from Iowa is the first of Oakland’s seven draft picks to sign a contract. The Raiders already cut ties with one of their picks, releasing defensive end Stryker Sulak last week.
Myers is a blocking tight end, who was brought in to allow starting Zach Miller to spend more time as a downfield receiver.
The Raiders report to training camp in Napa next Tuesday, with practice beginning Thursday.
