The Las Vegas Raiders reached a deal with free agent tight end Austin Hooper on Wednesday. The details of the agreement remain undisclosed.
Hooper’s move to the Raiders comes after the player was released by the Cleveland Browns last year. Before that, he played for the Tennessee Titans, signing a one-year, $6 million deal before the 2022 season. Although he got off to a slow start in Tennessee, Hooper improved gradually as the season progressed, posting 24 of his 41 receptions during the last eight games.
Despite only playing two games for the Titans, Hooper made two receiving touchdowns, tying for third in the team with Robert Woods. He also made 503 snaps; the second-highest total on the team.
Originally drafted out of Stanford by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round of the 2016 Draft, Hooper is a two-time Pro-Bowl selection. He then signed a four-year $44 million contract with the Browns in 2020.
