Report: Four other teams put in a claim for CB Darrell Luter

The move followed the Raiders securing the top waiver priority and after four additional NFL teams submitted claims for Luter. The claim occurred during the league’s roster cutdown day, just days before the NFL season opener in which the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants. Coverage of the transaction appears across a range of outlets. Raiders.com and Silver And Black Pride reported the Raiders’ claim and the accompanying roster cut. Raiders Wire highlighted the third‑year cornerback’s release to accommodate the waiver claim.

NBC Sports noted that five teams, including the Raiders, attempted to claim the former 49ers cornerback. Yahoo Sports detailed the Cowboys’ failed attempt to claim a 49ers cornerback and later reported the Raiders’ swap of cornerbacks. Niners Nation and cbssports.com emphasized the Raiders’ top waiver position and the multiple claims on Luter. Heavy.com framed the development as “unfortunate news” for the Cowboys twelve days before their season opener against the Giants. The waiver process allows teams to claim released players, with priority determined by the previous season’s record; the Raiders held the highest priority at the time.

Roster cutdown day forces teams to trim rosters to the regular‑season limit, prompting moves such as the Raiders’ release of a third‑year cornerback to make room for Luter. The timing is significant because the Cowboys are preparing for their opening game, and the loss of a potential waiver claim may affect their secondary depth. The multiple claims on Luter indicate that his services are valued across the league, reflecting his recent tenure with the San Francisco 49ers. Upcoming reports will likely confirm whether Luter will report to the Raiders’ training camp and how the team integrates him into its defensive backfield. Observers may watch for additional waiver activity involving other defensive backs as teams continue to finalize rosters ahead of the season.
