The Las Vegas Raiders finalized a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, sending out-of-favor cornerback Jakorian Bennett in exchange for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV. Booker should add depth and competition to the interior following Christian Wilkins' release. The Raiders are excited to have the ascending defensive lineman.

The Raiders also have one of the best, if not the best, defensive line coaches in Rob Leonard, who will be good for Booker. Leonard has been good for the Raiders since joining the team. The Raiders have a defensive coordinator, Patrick Graham, who has improved the defense each season that he has been in Las Vegas.

Booker, who turns 26 in November, is known as a smart, high-character player who plays with a big motor. There is an opportunity at defensive tackle in Las Vegas and Booker has a real chance to make the 53-man roster and be part of the rotation. He hasn’t shown he can be a dynamic player, but he could be a solid backup.
