The Oakland Raiders continued their offseason acquisitions on Thursday, agreeing to deals with running back Isaiah Crowell and linebacker Brandon Marshall.
Crowell, who became the odd man out with the New York Jets when the team signed Le’Veon Bell, agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Raiders, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said.
With Bell on board, the Jets released Crowell, 26, earlier this month to save $3 million against the salary cap. Last season, he led the team with 685 rushing yards and had six touchdowns in 13 games.
Signed by Cleveland as an undrafted free agent from Alabama State in 2014, Crowell spent four seasons with the Browns before moving on the Jets. He has 3,803 rushing yards to go with 922 career receiving yards and 28 overall touchdowns.
The Denver Broncos released Marshall, who had spent six seasons with the team, earlier this month to cut $4.84 million from the salary cap. While the Raiders had not yet confirmed the signing, Marshall, 29, shared a photo of himself dressed in the silver and black on social media Thursday afternoon.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Marshall’s deal is for one year and worth as much as $4.1 million.
Marshall, a fifth-round draft choice by Jacksonville in 2012, spent one season in Jacksonville before moving on to Denver. In his career, he has 423 tackles, two interceptions, five forced fumbles and 6.5 sacks.
