The draft is over, but the NFL Christmas isn't. Undrafted free agency has a few more gifts in store. Keep it here for all the signing rumors as they come out.

As always, this list is unconfirmed until said otherwise. Some are reports and others are planned signings that don't end up happening.

Here are the reported signings as they happen:

Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada

Josh Shirley, OLB/DE, UNLV

Josh Harper, WR, Fresno State

Leon Orr, DT, Florida

Terrell Pinson, S, Louisiana Tech

Jimmy Hall, LB, Northwestern

[R8der113]

I'm thinking they move Jimmy Hall to safety

ran a 4.4...40 as a linebacker

our TE...he's going to be a monster

[R8der113]

With the pick the Raiders acquired from a trade with the Buccaneers to move down in the fourth round, they select Tennessee State offensive tackle Anthony Morris.

The 6-6, 317-pounder started 10 games last season for the TSU Tigers. It was his first season as a fulltime starter after being a reserve offensive lineman over his first three seasons. He said his slow rise to starter was due in part to having his knee scoped prior to this junior season and the recovery time put him behind.

The senior tackle anchored a unit that did not allow a sack during the last four ballgames. He helped protect a quarterback duo that threw for 3,268 yards and 23 touchdowns, leading to a No. 18 ranking in FCS, giving up only 1.17 sacks per game.

One has to think with Reggie McKenzie being a Tennessee native, Morris was his find. He wasn't a player who jumped out and has little scouting information available.

So this is Reggie's project...he's big

Josh Shirley, OLB, UNLV
Height: 6-3. Weight: 228.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Projected Round (2015): FA.
4/25/15: Shirley recorded 20 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks in 2015. He did not participate in the Combine.

8/23/14: Shirley left Washington and will play at UNLV as a senior in 2014. Last year for the Huskies, he had only 12 tackles with four tackles for a loss and three sacks in 2013. Shirley didn’t record any stats against Stanford or Oregon. He lost his starting spot and was only used as a situational pass-rusher at defensive end.

In 2012, Shirley recorded 33 tackles, 6.5 sacks, nine tackles for a loss, six forced fumbles and a pass batted. He looked to have mastered the strip sack despite not being an every-down player or starter. Shirley totaled eight forced fumbles and 15 sacks through his first two seasons of college football.

Shirley was a pass-rushing force in 2011 and ended the season on fire. The redshirt freshman racked up 6.5 sacks in the final four games, including three sacks against Robert Griffin III of Baylor in the Alamo Bowl. He totaled 28 tackles with 12 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and 8.5 sacks for the year.

FA edge rusher...Reggie's still working

[R8der113]

since most of our guys drafted are from Florida...I checked to see which state has the most guys in the NFL..........

1. Cali (224 players)
2. Florida (186)
3. Texas (147)
4. Georgia
5. Ohio
Guess Reggie's trying to change that 7 of our picks are from Florida...Cooper was born there too

"Stiff Necks?"
And to Whom would that be directed towards?

Hey Will! always great seeing you brother. I had not paid close attention and thought this one was from Rick, Rick and I been knowing each other for over 10 years (longer according to him). The stiff nex was directed at all of us not meeting up at all the sites we can, and was specifically targeted at ME, me being included in the brotherhood. If you took it to be at you? not at all, actually you know me way better than that. But if there was any insult it was 100% unintentional and 100% this authors error. Me is da author. lol

Peace !

Yeah..I saw them Joe,,,nice, keep up the good work. I posted a few myself, trying to find out who's , who. Are we moving to Florida or LA? Looks like that Sunseri had his fingers all over this draft. I remember Rick(cbranch), saying there's always a connection, and most of our draft class is connected to him , it seems.
I wouldn't worry about the stiff necks comment...I think we ALL , over react at some things on the boards...I know, I have. I also know You and Will are real good people, from my talks with both of youse.
I think the later round draft picks are project players, they saw some things and said...I can work with him. Also all good character people, willing to work hard and learn.
Hope you and your family are healthy and blessed.

[R8der113]

So it seems we got a B+ on the draft.....think that's what they gave us last year. Until Carr and Mack set the league on notice...We Back Suckers!!!
I know they question some of our later picks, but seldom do later round guys make the team...let alone start.

Rich, thanks for the thoughts and especially prayers bro. I had conversations with several Raiders 4 this life lately, some great people like Hank, Rick and Pat about this draft and obviously things in general. The overall take away is that Del Rio brought east coasters in with him, lot of Fla influence and so forth. They know their players, but for example didn't know Leonard Williams the way those of us out here seeing him weekly impacting games, so it seems their sticking with what they do know as opposed to what they might surmise.

All we can do is hope for the best outcome, so the Raiders take over kicks into high gear STAT!

About the stiff nex deal, while speaking with Rick he didn't seem to know about any of it. So I came back and reread all the old comments. Will looked to have felt he was targeted, but that won't happen, not from me anyway. Targeting anyone with true feelings? unthinkable. Drones/trolls? sure anytime, but since they don't comment either here or PFWS no problems.

But take a look at Harper's performance while working with Carr, pretty doggone shocking.
I think they gave us an A or A- last year in the draft. I saw it A or A+. But after what I saw from the previous 2 maybe I was pulling extra hard for us? hahaha

Go Raiders.
Peace !

And Rich, on the white page I saw at least one drone and another interloper that looked a heck of a lot like one of Ex's old standby profiles. He seemed to slip right in impersonating a real person, being welcomed and all. Dude is slippery all right. But for some of us that have known him so long, seen him on so many different pages and sites it sticks out.

Later,

Peace !

I'd like to see the Raiders go after Wilkerson..we have the money. Second I'd have a PI go down to Baton Rouge and find out what is going on with LSU's Collins...and if it's all clear...I pursue him too, now that we cut Jones...we have the money to do both.

[R8der113]

For you guys who missed the fight on Sat.

[rdrJoe]

And right now.

I watched it. 7 years too late. Gloves off just brushing each other. Free so wth.

Now Pac's shoulder was very bad and needed surgery? Nice. 100mil anyone.

For how much money they wanted..they should have given him the shot of cortisone he asked for

Nothing. Pac wouldn't pull out, he should have. Glad we didn't pay for it.

Rich, I answered your message, sent you an email also. Long one for me, probably tedious for you. About the not worried about the stiff nx, nope, but I had to reach out to amend anything he thought was anger filled or meant as a slight. If he doesn't care one way or another any longer? nothing I can do. But I am called to reach out to not harm anyone unreasonably. Never my intentions. If they ask for a fight, I still have to try to control my emotions, keep the old man out of it.

Later brother.

Peace !

[kicks]

Yeah that fight was about 5 years too late. No way I am paying that much for a fight. Its ridiculous how much money they made. Makes me ill.

Shout out to ya all!

Yep, I watched it free, but it was a lousy fight.

Kevin Boothe gone...Del Rio is cleaning house....guess those 3 days of early workouts...gave him enough info, on who will be here.

Hey Rich! so Boothe is in the wind also. Isn't he another bargain basement RM signing? dude never started a game, played parts of some and must not have been impressive. I think Al drafted him like 10 years ago, then let him walk after about a season or two. Oh well, onward and upward.

[rdrJoe]

Great article Joe! Thanks for posting!I get sick when I hear all these other teams call themselves "Nation". It just plain pisses me off!
