Brandon Johnson, former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson was released by the Steelers to make room for punter Aidan Laros, recently claimed from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Raiders' receiving corps has been reshuffled, especially after last season's trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson will compete for a roster spot against other young receivers including Donte Thornton Jr. and Malik Benson.
