Raiders sign nine players to reserve/future contracts including potential Jon Condo replacement

The 2017 season in the books, the Oakland Raiders took their first step in getting ready for the 2018 offseason by signing several players to reserve/future contracts.

Eight of those nine signees finished the season on the Raiders practice squad.

Player Pos. Ht. Wt. Exp. College

Brown, Fadol DE 6-4 282 R Mississippi

Hatcher, Keon WR 6-1 212 R Arkansas

Hilary, Darius DB 5-10 185 1 Wisconsin

Hood, Elijah RB 5-11 230 R North Carolina

Mitchel, Tevin S 6-0 195 2 Arkansas

Northnagel, Bradley LS 6-3 250 R California

Saint Fleur, Joby DL 6-4 253 R NW Oklahoma State

Simmons, Jordan G 6-3 339 R USC

Soto, Shakir DL 6-3 290 R Pittsburgh

The only newcomer among them is former Cal long snapper, Bradley Northnagel.

Northnagel appeared in 29 games at California from 2012-16, serving as the team’s full-time long snapper as a junior and senior. Prior to the 2015 season, he was a jack of many trades, playing on both the offensive and defensive lines as well as at fullback. He is also a Bay Area native having attended Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo.

With Jon Condo’s 12-year NFL career perhaps coming to an end at the age of 36, a long snapper was needed.
