The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Thursday that they signed free-agent tight end Qadir Ismail to an undisclosed deal. For the time being, Ismail will give the Raiders depth at the tight end position behind starter Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas and Justin Shorter. The 28-year-old was with the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad last year but never got into an NFL game and has yet to catch a pass in the league after going undrafted out of Samford after 2023. He played six seasons in college with Villanova and Samford and had 13 catches for 135 yards in 11 games with Samford in his senior season in 2023. After suffering an undisclosed injury late last year, the Ravens released him from their practice squad. Ismail will be battling long odds to make the Raiders' 53-man roster out of training camp this summer.
