Raiders Sign Darius Philon
The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent defensive tackle Darius Philon to an undisclosed deal. Maurice Hurst is the team's only defensive tackle with starting experience that is guaranteed to return in 2021, so Philon will give the position some depth. Philon played four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers under defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who now holds the same position with the Raiders. Philon recorded 8.5 sacks in two seasons with Bradley as his coach, but he hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2018. He had signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals, but he was cut after he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in an incident at a strip club that year.
