Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Raiders are expected to bring in free agent TE Austin Hooper for a visit on Wednesday.
The Raiders decided to trade away TE Darren Waller last week and responded Monday by signing O.J. Howard to a contract. However, it appears as though they’re not done at the position.
This is the first reported interest in Hooper since the free agent market officially opened.
Hooper, 28, was drafted in the third round by the Falcons out of Stanford in 2016. He played out the final year of a four-year, $3.165 million rookie contract and made a base salary of $720,000 for the 2019 season.
Hooper was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a four-year, $42 million deal with the Browns. He was set to make a base salary of $9.5 million in the final two years of the deal when the Browns released him last year.
The Titans would later sign Hooper to a one-year, $6 million contract.
In 2022, Hooper appeared in all 17 games for the Titans and caught 41 passes for 444 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
