JORDAN VEASY
Let go by Raiders Veasy was cut by the Raiders on Wednesday.
Impact After he signed with Las Vegas in May, Veasy now becomes a free agent, while the team signed fellow wide receiver Chris Lacy in a corresponding move.

Signs with Las Vegas The Raiders signed Veasy on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Veasy appeared in his first two NFL contests last year with the Texans, totaling 22 snaps on offense and 24 on special teams. The only counting stat the 26-year-old accrued was a recovered fumble from teammate Rex Burkhead. The Raiders have revamped their wideout corps this offseason, so Veasy will likely have an uphill battle to make Las Vegas' initial 53-man roster.
