Report: Raiders agree to terms with Littleton on 3-year, $36M deal

The Las Vegas Raiders bolstered their linebacking corps on Tuesday, agreeing to a three-year contract with Cory Littleton worth up to $36 million, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The deal has a base value of $11.75 million per year, Rapoport adds.

Littleton signed with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and quickly developed into a defensive centerpiece. He accumulated 259 tackles, five interceptions, 7.5 sacks, and four fumble recoveries over his last two seasons.

The Raiders made it a priority to overhaul their linebackers ahead of the 2020 campaign. Mike Mayock and Co. also agreed to terms with former Chicago Bear Nick Kwiatkoski on Monday.

The 26-year-old excels in coverage and should slot in as an every-down defender for Las Vegas this season.
