The Las Vegas Raiders have signed veteran wide receiver Noah Brown in free agency as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. Brown, who previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders, had a standout season in 2022 but struggled in 2025 due to injuries. With the Raiders' receiving corps lacking depth, Brown is seen as a potential secondary target in the passing game. The signing comes just weeks before the start of the season, providing Brown an opportunity to compete for a role on the roster amidst training camp competition.
