The Oakland Raiders have signed Chimdi Chekwa to a one-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The Patriots released Chekwa on Monday to make room for linebacker Brandon Spikes.
The Patriots signed Chekwa after the Raiders declined to tender him an offer in March.
The 26-year-old has 44 career tackles and one fumble recovery in his career. He’s still searching for his first career interception.
