ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) The Oakland Raiders have signed former first-round pick EJ Manuel as a backup quarterback and linebacker Jelani Jenkins.
The Raiders also brought back long snapper Jon Condo on Monday.
Manuel was picked 16th overall by Buffalo in 2013, but started just 17 games in four seasons with the Bills. Current Raiders offensive coordinator Todd Downing was Manuel’s position coach in 2014 and a big attraction in coming to Oakland.
Jenkins started 34 games with Miami the past four years. He had 219 tackles, 3+ sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He will compete to fill the void of departed free agent Malcolm Smith.
Condo is the second-longest tenured Raiders player and will begin his 11th season as long snapper in 2017.
