Joins Las Vegas
Trufant signed a deal to join the Raiders on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Trufant has reached a deal to join his fifth NFL team for the 2021-22 season. The cornerback has spent time playing for the Falcons, Lions, Bears and, most recently, the Saints. The former 22nd overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft will look to provide support to a shaky Raiders' secondary.

After missing 17 of 32 games due to injury over the past two seasons, the Bears signed Trufant, who will turn 31-years-old just before opening day. However, with Kyle Fuller no longer on the team, Trufant will be counted on to start across from Jaylon Johnson, and Trufant could have solid IDP value because opposing offenses could pick on him as the weaker corner, meaning he could pile up a significant tackle total. He's recorded three seasons with at least 61 tackles, and he's also intercepted five passes over his last 15 games, so he could be a player to watch in IDP leagues.
