Las Vegas Raiders center Andre James has signed an extension with the organization. The former undrafted free agent joined the team in 2019. He worked his way into the starting lineup during the 2021 season. Now, James has earned himself a three-year, $24 million contract. James will receive $16 million in guaranteed money, which is well-deserved given how he has played over the last few seasons. Last season, James appeared on 963 offensive snaps and earned a PFF blocking grade of 74.6, which is a career-high for him.
The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with center of the future Andre James on a three-year deal worth $12.5 million on Monday, according to a source. James receives around $6 million guaranteed. He had one year left on his deal before he was set to become a restricted free agent next offseason. James cashes in after the team traded Pro Bowl center Rodney Hudson to the Arizona Cardinals last week. He didn't play any offensive snaps last season and has just one game played at center in the NFL, but they Raiders clearly believe he is their future at the position. Las Vegas also signed former Houston Texans starting center Nick Martin to compete with James.
