Raiders Sign Versatile Veteran Chris Myarick and Waive Zack Kuntz and Tanner Wall

Las Vegas favored a veteran multi-role blocker, leaving a temporary open roster spot.

Overview

  • The Raiders announced they signed tight end/fullback Chris Myarick and waived tight end Zack Kuntz and undrafted rookie safety Tanner Wall.
  • Head coach Klint Kubiak said Kuntz "has a long way to go" and stressed the need for run-blocking toughness and scheme familiarity from that spot.
  • Tanner Wall had received a notable UDFA guarantee after converting from wide receiver to safety at BYU and was credited with a special-teams forced fumble in camp before being cut.
  • Chris Myarick brings NFL experience as an inline tight end, H-back and occasional fullback from stops that include 24 games with the New York Giants and a 2025 practice-squad stint with the Dolphins.
  • By cutting two players and adding one the Raiders now have an open roster spot, and the team can potentially count an extra player because two teammates qualify for the International Player Pathway exemption; general manager John Spytek is expected to keep tweaking the bottom of the roster during camp.
