The Raiders signed Philips to a contract Tuesday.

Philips spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign on the Eagles' practice squad, failing to play at least one game for the first time since he was selected by Tennessee in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-11 wideout has played in 13 regular-season contests during his career, compiling 23 receptions on 35 targets for 259 yards and no touchdowns while also handling kickoff and punt return duties. His move to Las Vegas will reunite him with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who served as UCLA's head coach during the four seasons Philips played for the Bruins.

Jackson appeared in 12 regular-season games during the 2024 campaign, catching one pass (on three targets) for eight yards while totaling 627 return yards.

Jackson was never able to secure a significant role on offense after being selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He did serve as Tennessee's primary punt and kickoff return man to begin the season, but the Tulane product was a healthy inactive for the final five games, leaving his role with the squad up in the air for 2025.

Kinsey appeared in six regular-season games for the Titans in 2024, securing two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards.

Kinsey has been a Titan for four seasons, but his workload has remained limited, and his 2024 production was actually a career high. The 26-year-old remains under contract for the 2025 campaign, but he seems unlikely to carve out a larger role next season.

Wilson (hamstring) suited up for one regular-season game in 2024 for the Steelers, playing only five offensive snaps and not getting a target.

Wilson's season wasn't what was expected when he was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, as the Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in training camp that derailed his season. Even after he recovered, Wilson was a healthy scratch in Week 3 through 5 before making his debut in Week 6 against the Raiders. A hamstring injury then landed him on injured reserve, which is where he ultimately finished the campaign.

Skowronek appeared in 10 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2024, making five catches (on five targets) for 69 yards.

Skowronek's 10 appearances and five receptions were career lows. The former Ram joined Pittsburgh in mid-September after failing to make the Texans' 53-man roster out of training camp. An early season shoulder injury forced a six-game IR stint, while a hip injury late in the season was cause for another missed contest. Skowronek is set to be an unrestricted free agent.

Turner (knee) secured 16 of 29 targets for 158 yards and one touchdown across 12 regular-season games with the Raiders in 2024. He also rushed for 33 yards and one touchdown on five carries and compiled 106 kick return yards and 77 punt return yards.

Turner produced career-best numbers before landing on IR in early December due to a Week 13 knee injury. The 28-year-old is slated to be a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning he'll be allowed to negotiate with other teams, but Las Vegas will retain the right to match any offer he might receive.

Keyton secured one of three targets for seven yards across eight regular-season appearances with the Raiders in 2024.

Keyton managed to push for reserve snaps on Las Vegas' active roster as a rookie, a notable accomplishment after having gone undrafted out of Tennessee. He played 41 snaps on offense and 64 snaps on special teams. The 6-foot-2 wideout remains under contract with the Raiders in 2025, but depending on the team's offseason moves he could have an uphill battle to retain his spot on the depth chart.

Jones notched eight catches (on 11 targets) for 84 yards and no touchdowns in 11 contests during the 2024 regular season.

Jones' season debut was delayed by a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and a subsequent one-game roster exemption. Upon suiting up in Week 7, he logged just two targets over four outings before the Cardinals' Week 11 bye and nine targets thereafter. Overall, he reached double-digit receiving yards in a game just three times, posting his lowest yardage total since 2020 (154 as a member of the Raiders). The soon-to-be 30-year-old is an unrestricted free agent in March, and his recent lack of production won't draw much interest on the open market.

Dortch gathered in 37 of 50 targets for 342 yards and three touchdowns, added five carries for 31 yards and returned seven kickoffs for 186 yards and 21 punts for 202 yards over 17 regular-season contests in 2024.

Since his mini 52-467-2 breakout on 64 targets in 2022, Dortch has a 61-622-5 line on 91 targets over the last two campaigns combined. During this past season, he recorded a reception in all but one game, but his receiving yardage total ranked fifth on the Cardinals behind Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson (hamstring) and even RB James Conner (knee). If Arizona opts to bolster its receiving corps further this offseason, Dortch, a restricted free agent this offseason, may find himself pushed further down the depth chart or even off the roster entirely.

Rice (shoulder) appeared in three regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, but he didn't tally any counting stats.

Rice was selected in the seventh round of the 2024 Draft out of USC and was unable to create any momentum in his first NFL season. After being a healthy inactive Week 1, he suited up for his first game Week 3 against the Steelers but saw snaps only on special teams. A couple of weeks later, a shoulder injury led to his placement on injured reserve, where he stayed for the remainder of the year. Rice may have an opportunity in training camp to earn a larger role with the Chargers next season if he can stay healthy in 2025.
