Raiders Signed OL Braeden Daniels

To make room, they waived G Justin Pickett with an injury designation. If he clears waivers, he’ll revert to injured reserve and likely be cut with a settlement later on. 

Daniels, 25, was a three-year starter at Utah and finished his final two years with second and first-team All-PAC 12 honors. 

The Commanders drafted him with the No. 118 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $4.594 million rookie contract that included a $754,482 signing bonus. 

However, he spent his rookie season on injured reserve and was waived coming out of the preseason in the second year of the deal. He’s had stints with the Texans, Chargers, Eagles and Cowboys practice squads. 

The Dolphins signed him away from the Cowboys late in the 2024 season and re-signed him to the practice squad following roster cuts in 2025. He signed a futures deal for 2026 but was waived in May. 

During his five-year college career, Daniels appeared in 49 games and made 43 career starts. 

He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
