Following April’s draft, the Raiders added one of the highest rated available undrafted free agents when they signed former Tennessee Chatanooga OL McClendon Curtis.
With the need at guard, Curtis seemed like he had a decent shot of making the team. But ultimately, he was among the team’s cuts and was signed back to the practice squad. That lasted one week before the Seahawks scooped him up and signed him to their active roster.

Making the Raiders roster instead was Jordan Meredith who had spent time on the team’s offseason roster the past two years.
Curtis was widely considered the best guard to go undrafted. Easily making him the most high profile UDFA to sign with the Raiders.
But Curtis wasn’t alone. The Raiders didn’t keep any of their undrafted players from this offseason. Other notable UDFA’s to be signed and cut include T Dalton Wagner and LB Drake Thomas.
Curtis joins Thomas who was claimed off waivers by the Seahawks.
