First there was Austin Hooper. Now it’s Harrison Bryant. Sure seems the Las Vegas Raiders developed an affinity for former Cleveland Browns tight ends, does it?
All jest aside, the Silver & Black’s addition of Bryant in free agency — a one-year pact for $3.25 million — does add a veteran/experienced presence to the tight end position group that needs clear-cut defined role outside of promising 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer. Beyond the rookie out of Notre Dame, the depth chart reads: Zach Gentry (27 years old), Cole Fotheringham (26), John Samuel Shenker (25), and Bryant (also 25).
