The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed safety Isaiah Pola-Mao to a two-year contract extension worth up to $8.45 million on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pola-Mao was a restricted free agent and the nephew of Hall of Fame defensive back Troy Polamalu. The 25-year-old former undrafted free agent out of USC eventually latched on with the Raiders and made his NFL debut back in 2022. He started the final 1 games for the Raiders in 2024 and was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 16. In 17 total games played (14 starts), Pola-Mao broke out to the tune of 89 tackles (57 solo), one sack, five pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Pola-Mao will now stick around in Vegas for another two seasons and should play a key role again in their secondary in 2025. He had only 40 combined tackles and two sacks in 27 games (no starts) in his first two seasons with the Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed safety Isaiah Pola-Mao to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. The Raiders are bringing Pola-Mao back after he spent the last two years in Sin City. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2022 out of USC. In his first two years in the NFL, the 24-year-old defensive back has only 40 tackles (28 solo), two sacks and an interception in 27 games played (zero starts). Pola-Mao has mostly been a special teams contributor in his first two NFL campaigns, although he did pick up his first career interception for the Raiders on defense last year. Don't expect him to suddenly become a big contributor at safety for Vegas in 2024.
