Overview
- Jack Bech, the Raiders’ second-round pick (58th overall) in a franchise-record 11-pick draft, signed a four-year, $7.56 million rookie contract with a $2.14 million signing bonus on July 17.
- The fully guaranteed deal ends a league-wide standoff over second-round contracts that had left Bech as the only unsigned midrounder until days before camp.
- Bech enters camp competing for snaps alongside veteran Jakobi Meyers in a receiver corps also featuring rookies Dont’e Thornton Jr. and Tommy Mellott.
- His 2024 breakout season at TCU produced 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns, earning him Second-Team All-Big 12 honors and Senior Bowl MVP.
- According to Over The Cap, he will carry a $1.4 million cap figure in 2025, reflecting rising costs for premier offensive rookies.
