Overview
- Seattle waived Bryce Cabeldue before its season opener and the Las Vegas Raiders claimed him off waivers Thursday, then opened a roster spot by releasing guard Atonio Mafi.
- Cabeldue was a sixth-round pick in 2025 from Kansas who played in eight regular-season games as a rookie, spent time on injured reserve on Jan. 23 during Seattle’s postseason run, and was on Seattle’s Super Bowl LX roster.
- Raiders coach Klint Kubiak previously coached Cabeldue in Seattle, giving Las Vegas staff direct familiarity with the player’s move from college tackle to NFL guard.
- The addition is intended to boost interior-line depth behind projected starters Spencer Burford and Jackson Powers-Johnson while creating competition for backup roles.
- The transaction highlights how the NFL waiver system forces late roster choices because exposing developmental players can let other teams with early waiver priority add depth immediately.
