The UFL Draft concluded a few days ago and with rosters set for the 2026 season, the Las Vegas Raiders have multiple notable players slated to make their appearances for one of the 8 UFL rosters in 2026. A brief run down of former Raiders to watch this spring:

WR Lynn Bowden Jr, Louisville Kings

The Raiders 2020 3rd rounder never appeared in a game for the Raiders after being traded to the Dolphins prior to the 2020 season where he spent 2020-2022 before landing with the Patriots in 2022 and Saints in 2023. Since then, Bowden has bounced around his time in the UFL with the Defenders before going to Canada with the BC Lions of the CFL and back to the UFL with the Louisville Kings. The former NFL receiver has a career 39 receptions, 294 yards and 14 rushes for 64 yards. He has yet to log a UFL stat.

CB Damon Arnette, Houston Gamblers

The Raiders first round selection, also in 2020, has spent time with the Raiders, Miami Dolphins, and Chiefs before taking a 3 year gap and rejoining the Houston Roughnecks in 2025 where he then spent time with the Houston Texans and now is back in the UFL with the Houston Gamblers. The Dallas native appeared in 2 NFL games last year with 3 tackles and allowed 4 receptions for 87 yards and a TD on 7 targets. Arnette has been a standout in the UFL

DT Nesta Jade Silvera, St. Louis Battlehawks

The Raiders 7th round selection in 2023 appeared in a career 95 snaps with Las Vegas before being out of the NFL after 2025 where he spent with the Los Angeles Chargers. Silvera has then spent time with the Packers and 49ers and now is with the St. Louis Battlehawks.

DT Neil Farrell, St. Louis Battlehawks

After being drafted in the 4th round of the 2022 draft, Farrell played 158 snaps with the Raiders in 2022 and then spent time with the Chiefs in 2023 and Dolphins in 2024 before spending all of 2025 off a roster. Farrell will join fellow Raiders defensivelineman Jade-Silvera with the Battlehawks in 2026 and he’ll be a notable player to watch going forward as teams look for more nose tackles.

LB Amari Burney, Columbus Aviators

The Raiders 2023 6th rounder logged 190 snaps with Las Vegas posting 32 tackles, 4 TFL, a sack, FF, and 12 stops in his career. Burney spent all of 2025 on the Titans practice squad. Burney has spent majority of his career in his career as a special teams player with 459 career snaps. The former Raiders linebacker was an athletic monster at 6’2, 230 and had plenty of attention going into his career.

LB Luke Masterson, St. Louis Battlehawks

Masterson signed with the Raiders in 2022 as a UDFA and appeared in a career 628 snaps posting 103 tackles, 4 TFL, a PBU, 2 FF, 29 stops, and allowed 37 receptions 383 yards and a TD. Masterson was an up and down player with the Raiders having notable moments and flashing as a potential depth linebacker at times. Masterson also made 724 career special teams snaps with 16 tackles and a forced fumble. It wouldn’t be a shock to see Masterson back in the NFL in 2026 after a season with the Battlehawks.
