Raiders Sign Seahawks Super Bowl WR Cody White
1 Sep
Summary
- Raiders signed former Seahawks WR Cody White to their practice squad.
- White is a 6-3, 227-pound wide receiver with Super Bowl experience.
- His signing addresses the need for a big-bodied receiver due to injuries.
The Raiders have added a significant target to their roster by signing former Seahawks wide receiver Cody White to the practice squad. This move occurred on the same day the team placed Dont'e Thornton Jr. on injured reserve.
White, a 6-3, 227-pound receiver, joins the Raiders after being a final roster cut in Seattle. He was part of the Seahawks team that won the Super Bowl last February, contributing 11 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown during the regular season.
His size addresses an immediate need for the Raiders, particularly with Thornton's injury and the absence of other tall receivers on the main roster. Given his familiarity with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme, White could be a candidate for promotion to the regular season roster soon if he can adapt quickly.
