After being released earlier this week by the Cincinnati Bengals, Linebacker Germaine Pratt has found a new home. The Las Vegas Raiders signed him to a one-year deal worth up to $4.78 million Wednesday evening. He is coming off another solid season with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was 10th in the league in tackles. While still a solid player, he was a salary cap casualty for a Bengals team lacking direction. How will the veteran linebacker fit in with the Las Vegas Raiders?

Pratt joins a Raiders defense with some big names. He will play alongside Defensive End Maxx Crosby, Defensive Tackle Christian Wilkins, and Safety Jeremy Chinn. New Head Coach Pete Carroll is looking to remake the team in his first offseason on the job. He has done exactly that.
Final Thoughts
The team’s defense was mediocre in 2024. Pratt will look to help the unit improve during what has been a busy few months for the squad. He will also look to prove the Cincinnati Bengals wrong by showing them he still has a great deal left in the tank.
