It's Father's Day, but there are truly no days off for the NFL. The Raiders have announced that they have signed third-round defensive end Keyron Crawford to a four-year rookie deal. Crawford, who played college football at Arkansas State before transferring to Auburn, was the 67th overall selection in the 2026 draft. Per the Raiders, Crawford started all 12 games in 2025 at Auburn. He had 36 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one interception. The move leaves the Raiders with eight of ten draft picks under contract. Unsigned are quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who was the first overall pick in the draft, and fourth-round cornerback Jermod McCoy.
