The Las Vegas Raiders have waived wide receiver Ramel Keyton, according to a recent announcement. Keyton initially joined the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in April, and after a strong showing during training camp, he earned a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. Despite this early success, Keyton has not yet seen any playing time during the regular season, as he was a healthy scratch in each of the Raiders’ first three games.
Keyton’s release from the team means he is now subject to the waiver process. Other NFL teams will have the opportunity to claim him and add him to their roster. If he goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent and can sign with any team looking to add depth at the wide receiver position. His status as a free agent could give him the chance to catch on with a team that is in need of more receiving talent.
The 24-year-old receiver had shown promise during training camp, which earned him a spot on the roster in the first place. However, with the depth the Raiders already have at wide receiver, it seems there wasn’t room for Keyton to break through into the regular season lineup. His lack of playing time likely contributed to the decision to waive him, as teams often need players who can contribute immediately.
Although Keyton didn’t get the chance to make an impact on the field during the season so far, his brief time with the Raiders has shown that he has the potential to compete at the NFL level. If he can find another team that offers a better opportunity for playing time, Keyton may still be able to develop and showcase his skills as a pass-catcher in the league.
For now, Keyton will be looking to find a new home in the NFL, either through the waiver process or as a free agent. His focus will likely be on finding a team that can offer him more opportunities to play and prove himself on the field. Whether it’s through a practice squad or as part of another 53-man roster, Keyton’s journey in professional football is not over yet.
