HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders signed two-time All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters on Monday in an effort to address one of their most pressing needs.

The 30-year-old Peters will be among the veterans who reports to the club on Tuesday. Las Vegas' training camp opens Wednesday.

“WELCOME TO THE GANG,” Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby tweeted.

The Raiders are hoping to get the version of Peters who has 32 career interceptions, six returned for touchdowns. He had only one interception last season with the Baltimore Ravens after missing 2021 with a torn ACL.

Peters joins a Raiders team that had six interceptions last season, tied with the New York Giants for the fewest in the league.

This signing is the latest in a series of moves Las Vegas has made to in an effort to improve its secondary.

Peters was drafted in the first round by Kansas City in 2015 and has played for the Chiefs, Rams and Ravens.
