Luter Snapped Up by Raiders | NFL News

0:00It's September 2nd. I'm Corey with the story. This is NFL News today, driven by AI and built for football fans. So, the 49ers lost a couple of guys on Waivers Monday. One was a rookie defensive tackle, Bryson Ease Easton, who the cheese picked up. But the bigger news is Cornerback Darryl Luder, Jr. He was claimed by the Raiders, and get this, he was the most sought after player on the entire Waiver wire. The Raiders used their number one waiver priority to snag Luder, but it wasn't just them. The Titans, Dolphins, Cowboys and Colts all put in claims too. That shows you how much teams valued him, especially considering no other player got more than two claims. Luder was a fifth round pick for the Niners back in 2023. He actually played in all 17 games last season, even starting a few and being a solid special teams guy. But San Francisco decided to keep six other corners, and with some of them dealing with injuries, they felt they had enough depth.

1:00Now, Luder heads to Las Vegas with a real shot at getting significant playing time early on. The 49ers on the other hand, might need to look for another defensive back to fill out their secondary, especially with some injury concerns already. There. It's a tough break for the Niners, losing a player that multiple teams were clearly trying to acquire. The waiver wire always brings some drama, and this time it was Luder who became the main event.
