The Raiders signed Fotheringham to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Fotheringham signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in May of 2022 but failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster. After getting cut, he joined Las Vegas' practice squad, where he spent his entire rookie campaign. The 6-foot-4 tight end will now have a chance to compete for a roster spot throughout the offseason and into next year's training camp.

Raiders' Cole Fotheringham: Gets chance with Raiders
Rotowire
Fotheringham has signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
Fotheringham recorded 15 receptions for 128 yards over eight games in his final season with Utah in 2021. The rookie tight end was the only player at his position signed in Las Vegas' class of undrafted free agents. He'll join a position group that currently features four veteran players, including Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister and Nick Bowers. Fotheringham likely will need to carve out a niche for himself as a blocking tight end this offseason.
