The Las Vegas Raiders have added some much-needed depth to their defensive line, signing veteran defensive tackle Benito Jones for the 2026 season. The move, announced Wednesday, bolsters a unit looking to make noise in the AFC West.

Jones, who spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, brings a steady presence to the trenches. In 14 games, he logged 15 tackles and a sack, showing he can still disrupt opposing backfields. His journey to the Silver and Black has been a winding one. Originally entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Miami in 2020, Jones later spent two seasons with the Detroit Lions (2022-2023) before returning to the Dolphins for the past two years. Over his career, he's amassed 83 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks—numbers that speak to his reliability as a rotational interior force.

To make room on the roster, the Raiders waived defensive tackle Brodric Martin with an injury designation. Martin, who appeared in just one game for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, was claimed off waivers by Las Vegas back in December. Now, Jones steps in as a proven veteran who can eat up blocks and add experience to a young defensive front.

For Raiders fans, this signing is a low-key but smart move—a player who knows the grind and can contribute right away. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just stocking your closet, rep the team with fresh Raiders gear as they build for a strong season ahead.
