What happened: The undrafted rookie impressed during camp and is viewed as a potential waiver claim. Las Vegas signed him to a three-year deal in May.

Why it matters: The move gives every club a chance to add him to its 53-man roster through waivers. If he clears, Las Vegas could pursue a practice-squad reunion.

By the numbers: Slone's deal was worth $3.125 million, including $272,500 guaranteed. That guarantee ranked 21st among 382 undrafted signings in 2026.

What to watch: The Raiders' final edge rotation will come into focus after waivers run.
