Raiders Hosting Lions LB Tahir Whitehead For Visit

Adam Schefter reports that the Raiders are bringing in Lions free agent LB Tahir Whitehead for a visit.

This is the first reported interest in him since the free agent market officially opened.

Whitehead, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Lions back in 2012. He has played out his rookie contract before agreeing to a two-year deal worth more than $8M with Detroit back in 2016.

Whitehead is currently testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent.

In 2017, Whitehead appeared in all 16 games for the Raiders and recorded 110 tackles, one sack, an interception, four fumble recoveries and two pass defenses.
