The Las Vegas Raiders continued to slowly add depth to their 2025 roster by signing veteran reserve tight end Ian Thomas on Tuesday, the team announced.
Thomas, who turns 29 in June, has spent his entire seven-season NFL career with the Carolina Panthers. He was a fourth-round pick out of Indiana in 2018.
Thomas has played in 99 NFL games with 54 starts. He started all 17 games for the Panthers in 2022, but has just a combined seven starts in the past two seasons. He missed 12 games due to injury last season and five games in 2023.
Thomas has a total of 119 receptions in his NFL career. He had a career-high 36 catches as a rookie. He had three catches last season and five in 2023.
