Just hours before the legal tampering period of the NFL offseason begins, the Las Vegas Raiders have taken one of their own free agents off the market.
On Sunday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Raiders have re-signed defensive tackle Adam Butler to a three-year, $16.5 million contract.

Butler is coming off a career season for the Raiders in 2024, stepping up to the plate after a season-ending injury to Christian Wilkins. The veteran defensive lineman, who turns 31 in April, recorded 65 tackles (36 solo) and five sacks. Butler also defended two passes and forced a fumble.
Despite several in-house free agents still to be signed, Butler’s extension adheres to the philosophy of continuity preached by new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek.
