Raiders add long snapper Andrew East

While fans await to see if the Raiders will be signing safety Reggie Nelson, the team has signed first year long snapper Andrew East.

The 6-2, 220-pounder signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent last offseason, but was waived with the final roster cuts. Last February he signed a reserve/future deal with Seattle Seahawks, spending just over a month with the team before being waived in March.

East snapped in all 51 games of his collegiate career at Vanderbilt and recorded 13 special teams tackles. As a senior, he was named a finalist for the Wuerffel Trophy, which honors a superior combination of athletics, academics and commercial service.

East's addition could mean Jon Condo is not yet ready to resume work. Condo was was lost late last season with a shoulder injury that required surgery and was placed on injured reserve for the final three games of the season.

The Raiders will begin offseason workouts on April 18.
