Noah Brown Signs with Las Vegas Raiders for New Opportunity

Noah Brown has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, marking a new chapter in his NFL career after a difficult season with the Washington Commanders. The former Ohio State wide receiver, who was drafted in the seventh round in 2017, is entering his ninth NFL season with this move.

To accommodate Brown, the Raiders released defensive tackle Benito Jones. Brown's experience includes 91 NFL games, with 155 receptions for 2,083 yards and six touchdowns. He is expected to provide reliable support for rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the first overall draft pick who has shown promise during preseason games.

Brown's journey has been marked by injuries, limiting his playtime last season, but he is known for making impactful plays when healthy. His history includes a memorable performance during Ohio State's 2014 national championship run and a standout game in 2016 where he scored four touchdowns against Oklahoma. As he joins the Raiders, he faces competition from younger receivers but brings valuable experience to the team.
