With their second rookie draft pick signing, the Raiders locked the *other* Arizona safety.

The Las Vegas Raiders are making moves, and it's all about the Arizona Wildcats connection. After locking up second-round pick Treydan Stukes, the team has quickly signed his fellow Arizona safety, Dalton Johnson, to a rookie deal.

Johnson, selected in the fifth round (150th overall), was acquired through a trade that sent Tyree Wilson to the New Orleans Saints. It's a smart move for the Raiders, who are clearly building depth in the secondary with these two familiar faces from the same college program.

The contract details are solid for a late-round pick: a four-year deal worth $4.9 million, including a $529,000 signing bonus. With a cap hit just over $1 million, Johnson's salary won't even count against the Raiders' 2026 cap figure, as it falls below the Top 51 threshold. That's a win for the team's financial flexibility.

For fans looking to rep their new favorite safety, this signing is another reason to grab some Raiders gear. Whether you're a die-hard or a casual observer, the Silver and Black are building a defense with a Wildcat flair—and that's worth celebrating.
