Raiders sign tight end Zack Kuntz and waive RB Chris Collier
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed tight end Zack Kuntz, formerly with the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, as they enhance their depth at the position during training camp. To make room for Kuntz, the team waived running back Chris Collier, who did not play last season. The Raiders currently have four running backs on their roster and may look to add another veteran. Tight end Brock Bowers is reportedly excelling in camp, aiming for a strong season following a knee injury last year. The offense underwent significant changes after finishing last in the NFL, with new coaches and players in key positions.
