The Oakland Raiders have signed running back Jon Hoese, nose tackle Johnny Jones and receiver Isaiah Williams to reserve/future contracts.

The team announced the deals Thursday.

Hoese spent the 2011 season on Green Bay's practice squad as an undrafted free agent from Minnesota. He was in training camp with the Packers in 2012 but did not make the team.

Jones spent the past two seasons with the Packers. He spent most of 2011 on the practice squad and was on injured reserve this season before being cut last month.

Williams spent time this past season on Arizona's practice squad. He has also spent time with Pittsburgh, Seattle and Baltimore. He was a teammate in college at Maryland with current Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
