In a bid to strengthen their depth at the beginning of the training camp, the Raiders have made two additions, signing All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters and TikTok star defensive lineman Isaac Rochell.
According to reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Raiders are signing Marcus Peters on a one-year deal after he impressed during a workout on Monday.
The 30-year old Peters, made a notable comeback last season from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, starting 13 games for the Baltimore Ravens.
Peters earned three Pro Bowl selections and was voted All-Pro twice in his career. His extensive experience includes stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams before joining the Ravens.
Marcus Peters has accumulated an impressive stat line in his career with 32 interceptions, 92 pass breakups, 11 forced fumbles, and 10 fumble recoveries.
The addition of Peters is expected to provide a considerable boost to the Raiders’ secondary defense.
In addition to Marcus Peters, the Raiders also signed former Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman, Isaac Rochell.
Interestingly, Rochell has not only made his mark on the field but has also achieved fame as a TikTok star with nearly 2 million followers.
Rochell played a total of 70 games throughout his career, primarily for the Chargers, and was initially drafted as a seventh-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Isaac Rochell brings a solid experience to the Raiders, with 103 tackles, 9.5 sacks, and an interception credited to his name. Notably, he recorded five of his sacks in a single season.
