The move
The Las Vegas Raiders announced Wednesday they signed tight end Chris Myarick. To make room on the roster, the team waived two players: tight end Zack Kuntz, who had joined the club only days earlier over the weekend, and safety Tanner Wall.
Myarick’s background
Myarick has been in the NFL since 2019 but has not played in a regular-season game since 2022, when he was on the New York Giants. Last season he spent his time on the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad without appearing in a game. For his career, across 27 games played, Myarick has recorded 10 receptions for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
Roster context
The transaction was a straight swap in terms of roster math — the Raiders needed just one open spot to add Myarick, and cleared it by moving on from Kuntz, who had barely had time to settle in after arriving over the weekend, and Wall, a safety. No further details on injuries or the reasoning behind the moves were provided by either report.
What’s next
The sources did not specify Myarick’s projected role or provide information on Las Vegas’s upcoming schedule tied to this transaction.
