The Raiders continue to add to their wide receiver corps this week as they made their second signing of the day. After bringing in Jakobi Meyers earlier in the day, the Raiders have signed another former New England Patriots player.
This time, it’s former first-round pick Philip Dorsett, who last played for the Houston Texans. Dorsett will bring speed to the offense that desperately needed it in 2022. That deal was first reported by Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network.

Dorsett caught 20 passes in 2022 for 257 yards and one touchdown. During his career with the Patriots, he caught 73 passes for 881 yards and eight touchdowns. Look for him to be their No. 4 receiver during the 2023 season.
