Raiders Re-sign Will Putnam, Strengthen Offensive Line

0:00It's April 6th, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. Raiders just locked in offensive lineman Will Putnam with a resigning, timed perfectly before their offseason program fires up on Tuesday. He took the exclusive rights free agent tender, keeping him in the silver and black mix. Putnam came and undrafted from Clemson last year, rode the practice squad most of the season, but still got into 15 games and notched two starts, at center. That experience adds solid depth up front, and for a young guy, it's a smart move by the team to hold on to homegrown talent without breaking the bank. Now they brought in Tyler Lindarbound to anchor center, signed just last week, so Putnam shifts to reserve duties as workouts ramp up later this. Year, all signs point to the Raiders stacking their line methodically, setting the stage for a stronger push, come training camp.
