The Oakland Raiders signed unrestricted free agent safety Jordan Richards on Friday.
Richards played in 15 games, making a career-high 12 starts, for the Atlanta Falcons last season. He set a career high with 37 tackles.
Richards spent his first three seasons in the NFL (2015-17) with the New England Patriots after they selected him with the last pick in the 2015 second round. The Stanford alum has appeared in 56 NFL games (19 starts), making 81 tackles and forcing two fumbles.
The Raiders also signed free agent defensive end Alex Barrett on Friday. Barrett played with the San Diego Fleet in the Alliance of American Football, which suspended operations this week. He spent the majority of the 2017 and 2018 seasons on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad, appearing in two games in 2017.
