The Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> signed linebacker Germaine Pratt as a free agent recently.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at Pratt: <\/p>\n

Size:<\/p>\n

6-3, 250 pounds.<\/p>\n

NFL experience:<\/p>\n

Pratt is entering his seventh NFL season. He spent the first six seasons of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals. Pratt is a strong run stuffer and he had a combined 261 tackles in the past two seasons. He had a career-high 143 tackles in 2024 and he was a Bengals\u2019 team captain. Pratt has started 88 career games and he has been pretty durable. <\/p>\n

College:<\/p>\n

He went to North Carolina State and the Bengals drafted him in the third round in 2019.<\/p>\n

Raiders ties:<\/p>\n

Pratt was college teammates with Raiders\u2019 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and punter A.J. Cole. <\/p>\n

Raiders\u2019 memory:
It\u2019s a great one for the Silver and Black. Pratt intercepted a Derek Carr pass near the goal line with seconds o go in a 2021 season playoff game to seal the win for Cincinnati, which advanced all the way to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

How he will fit in with Raiders:<\/p>\n

The Raiders have totally remade their linebacker group and, in my opinion, Pratt becomes the team\u2019s best linebacker. He should start on he weakside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Las Vegas Raiders signed linebacker Germaine Pratt as a free agent recently.
