The Las Vegas Raiders entered free agency desperately needing help at the running back position after a disastrous year and finishing at the bottom in every major category. Las Vegas finished 31st in attempts, last in rushing yards, 28th in rushing touchdowns, and last in yards per attempt. The Raiders’ top three leading rushers were Alexander Mattison (free agent) with 420 yards and four touchdowns, Ameer Abdullah (free agent) with 311 yards and two touchdowns, and Zamir White with 183 yards and one touchdown.

According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the Raiders signed running back Raheem Mostert to a one-year, $2.1 million contract. The Pro Bowler reunites with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles during his rookie season in 2015 and head coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2016.
