Overview

  • The Raiders signed Chinn to a two-year, $16 million deal in March to address the departure of safety Tre’von Moehrig.
  • He brings extensive positional flexibility, having logged snaps at safety, outside and inside linebacker, and slot cornerback over five NFL seasons.
  • General manager John Spytek has labeled Chinn a “big nickel,” praising his ability to blitz, support the run and drop into deep coverage.
  • Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has commended Chinn’s leadership and his rapid assimilation of the Raiders’ defensive system.
  • Chinn’s coverage had a 119.7 passer rating against him last season, but he recorded an interception and a pass breakup during recent OTAs.
