Raiders add 3 following rookie minicamp tryouts

May 17, 2022 by Raiders Wire

Rookie minicamp is in the books for the Raiders. And the result is three new players in the fold following tryouts over the weekend.

The Raiders have added undrafted free agent TE Travis Koontz, former Packers CB Stanford Samuels III, and former Bears T Tyrone Wheatley Jr.

With the new additions, the team waived C Brett Heggie and WR Tre Turner who had been added as an undrafted free agent last week.

Koontz put up 21 catches for 306 yards and four TD’s last season at Texas Tech.

Samuels III went undrafted in 2020 out of Florida State. He spent all of last season on the Packers’ practice squad, getting called up for two games.

Wheatley Jr. is a converted college tight end who spent last season on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad. And of course he’s the son of former Raiders running back Tyrone Wheatley.
