Raiders sign DT Marquan McCallLas Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Marquan McCall has a one-year deal worth $915,000.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Marquan McCall was just one of two defensive tackles the club signed to reserve/future contracts last month.
The Raiders added McCall to their practice squad in December. It’s been almost four months since he’s been on an NFL roster.
The 24-year-old defensive tackle was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of Kentucky in 2022.
During his rookie season, he played in 16 games, totaling 15 combined tackles, two for loss and one quarterback hit.
McCall was then released to training camp in 2023. The following day, he was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots due to a failed physical.
The 6-foot-1, 345-pound defensive tackle is currently on a one-year contract worth $915,000.
McCall has competition ahead of him in the Raiders’ defensive tackle room, but he has shown during his young career that he has the potential to become a valuable practice player.
McCall played four seasons at Kentucky before going undrafted.
He played in a total of 40 games, including 11 starts, eight of which came during his senior season.
Unfortunately, he missed four games that year due to a lower extremity injury, but that didn’t stop him from forgoing his final season of eligibility.
McCall and Kentucky finished the 2021 season with a 10-3 record. The Wildcats defeated 2021 Big Ten title runner-up Iowa 20-17 in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.
McCall finished his college career with 57 combined tackles, 10 for losses, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defensed.
