  Packers Claim Johnathan Abram Off Waivers From Raiders

  The Green Bay Packers claimed safety Johnathan Abram off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, according to a source. The Raiders waived the former first-rounder on Tuesday, but he'll quickly latch on with a new team. The 26-year-old is a bruiser and a physical presence in the secondary, but failure to succeed in coverage is ultimately what caused him to be cut by the Raiders. He'll likely be eased into his new environment in Green Bay, but Abram could eventually enter the team's starting lineup in the secondary. The Packers have actually allowed the second-fewest passing yards per game (170.6) this year. In eight games in Vegas before getting cut, Abram had 48 tackles (35 solo) and one pass defensed.

  Raiders Release Johnathan Abram Tuesday

  In a surprise move, the Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round safety Johnathan Abram on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders shopped Abram at the trade deadline last week but found no takers, so he'll head to waivers. The 26-year-old was benched in Week 8 and has played only 52 defensive sacks in the last two games. The Raiders are moving forward with Duron Harmon and Trevon Moehrig as their starting safeties after moving on from Abram. The former 27th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft is a physical presence and plays with his hair on fire, but he just hasn't proven to be good enough in coverage. Abram will surely latch on with another team, but he's obviously off the fantasy radar in IDP leagues for now.
