Raiders add TE Chris Myarick, waive two others as training-camp roster churn continues

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed tight end Chris Myarick, the team announced Wednesday, a transaction that fits the typical training-camp pattern of reshaping position groups while players compete for roster spots. The move is immediate in terms of roster construction. The Raiders added Myarick to the organization, and at the same time waived tight end Zack Kuntz and safety Tanner Wall, according to the team announcement. Those actions report that Las Vegas is still sorting out its depth chart at two spots as camps progress. For Myarick, the signing creates another opportunity to earn a role in the Raiders’ tight end rotation. In training camp, tight ends are often evaluated across multiple areas, including route running in team periods, pass-catching consistency, and their ability to fit within an offense’s blocking assignments. A late roster addition can also reflect how the staff is responding to performance in recent practices. The waivers of Kuntz and Wall add context on what the Raiders appear to be prioritizing in this phase. Tight ends compete in a concentrated group, and safety roster decisions often come down to a mix of coverage responsibilities, special teams value, and how quickly a player grasps the defensive calls. By waiving both a tight end and a safety, the Raiders were making room while narrowing their options. While the announcement confirms the sign-and-waive sequence, it does not provide additional details such as contract terms, guarantee status, or the length of Myarick’s deal. It also does not specify whether any of the waived players are expected to land elsewhere quickly. In the NFL, waiver outcomes can vary, and teams sometimes claim players based on immediate needs from other injuries or matchups. The broader implication is that the Raiders’ roster remains in flux heading deeper into the preseason evaluation window. Each adjustment tightens the competitive field, particularly among players fighting for fringe roles at tight end and safety. For fans, the next step will be watching who gets opportunities in practice reps after these moves, and whether Myarick can separate himself quickly enough to justify additional involvement as camp continues.
