Raiders add former Bengals 4th round DT Andrew Billings

Come March, the Raiders could see all four of their interior defensive tackles hit the free agent market. They got ahead of that a bit today with the additions of Andrew Billings, according to his agent.

The 6-1, 328-pound nose tackle was a round four pick by the Bengals back in 2016 out of Baylor. After four seasons in Cincinnati, appearing in 47 games, starting 37, he left as a free agent, signing a one-year deal with the Browns.

He was waived midway through the season and ultimately signed onto the Chiefs practice squad. He was not re-signed to a futures contract by the Chiefs, making him a free agent.

Johnathan Hankins was the nose tackle has been the Raiders’ starting nose tackle the past four seasons. Ideally he would be brought back, whether he is or not, the team will still need depth and competition at the position this offseason. They will have to re-sign several interior linemen and/or add a few for that.
