A day after the Raiders waived Decamerion Richardson from the roster, the Saint scooped him up to claim him.

The third-year cornerback had made the initial 53-man roster in Las Vegas, but was waived after the Raiders themselves put a claim in on former 49ers CB Darrell Luter.

Richardson was originally a fourth round pick (112 overall) by the Raiders in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State. He was named a starter as a rookie, but was ultimately benched and never got his starting job back.

Last season the 6-2, 192-pounder was buried on the depth chart behind veteran addition Eric Stokes, rookie third round pick Darien Porter and journeyman Kyu Blu Kelly.

And despite a wide open battle in camp for the left outside cornerback spot, he was ultimately
