The Raiders took a low-risk flyer on Segun Olubi that borders on a slight overpay given his unproven track record, earning a D CVI for this one-year, $1.1M deal. While the financial commitment is minimal in today's NFL landscape, paying above minimum wage for a linebacker with no established NFL production represents questionable resource allocation, even at the margins. The silver lining here is the contract structure — a single-year commitment with no guaranteed money beyond 2024 gives Las Vegas complete flexibility to cut ties without penalty if Olubi fails to develop. At 24 years old, there's still developmental upside if the coaching staff can unlock hidden potential, but banking on unproven talent at a position where the Raiders need immediate depth feels like a reach. This signing screams camp body with long-shot special teams upside rather than meaningful roster construction, and while the downside risk is contained, the CVI reflects the reality that even modest overpays for replacement-level talent add up across a 53-man roster.
Segun Olubi's F grade with the Raiders is about as low as it gets for a linebacker barely holding onto an NFL roster. The young defender has been unable to generate any meaningful production, and his F grade reflects a player who isn't making an impact in any facet of the game. Las Vegas' defense has given opportunities to developmental players, and Olubi hasn't taken advantage of his. His tackling, coverage, and overall football instincts haven't been at the level needed to earn more playing time. The Raiders will likely move on from Olubi if he can't show dramatic improvement in the next evaluation period. He's fighting for his professional career at this point.
A low-risk camp body signing with minimal immediate impact for Las Vegas. Five headlines covered the move, mostly noting Indianapolis passed on re-signing him. The key signal is Indianapolis letting him walk — rarely a ringing endorsement of a player's value. Fans are questioning why the Raiders keep adding depth linebackers instead of proven starters. Olubi projects as a practice squad candidate or special teams contributor at best.
