Linebacker Germaine Pratt has signed a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, valued at $4.25 million plus $500,000 in playtime incentives. Previously with the Cincinnati Bengals, Pratt was scheduled to earn $5.2 million before his release saved the team $5.85 million against the salary cap. The 29-year-old had requested a trade in February following the dismissal of Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Last season, Pratt started all 17 games, achieving a career-high 143 tackles, alongside two interceptions and two forced fumbles. Originally drafted by the Bengals in 2019, Pratt's career stats include 616 tackles and seven interceptions. He joins a Raiders linebacker unit featuring Devin White and Elandon Roberts.
