A low-risk, low-reward practice squad reunion with a familiar face on the offensive line. Five headlines covered the move, emphasizing the 'familiar face' angle for both Carroll and Raiders fans. The strongest signal is Curtis's UDFA background — promising upside, but unproven at the NFL level. Fans appreciate the continuity, though expectations remain appropriately tempered for a depth signing. Curtis projects as a developmental lineman competing for a roster spot if injuries strike.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Las Vegas Raiders — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. McClendon's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Gss, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the Gs market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. McClendon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
