Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Raiders are signing S Marcus Gilchrist to a one-year deal.
Gilchrist was one of several defensive free agents visiting Oakland today.
Gilchrist, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Chargers back in 2011. After four years San Diego, Gilchrist signed a four-year, $22 million contract with $8.5 million guaranteed in March of 2015.
Gilchrist was set to make a base salary of $6 million for the 2017 season when the Jets elected to designate him as a post-June 1 release last year. It took until August for him to sign a one-year contract with the Jets.
In 2017, Gilchrist appeared in all 16 games for the Texans and recorded 56 tackles, one sack, an interception, a forced fumble and six pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 51 safety out of 87 qualifying players.
