The Las Vegas Raiders have officially waived defensive end Charles Snowden, signaling the end of his two-season stint with the franchise. The decision comes as part of a broader roster overhaul under new head coach Klint Kubiak, who is preparing the team for the 2026 season.
Snowden, who started 18 games for the Raiders over the past two seasons, finishes his tenure with the team having appeared in 31 games. During his time in Las Vegas, he recorded 67 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and one interception.
In a related move, the Raiders also released three additional players to create roster flexibility: guard McClendon Curtis, tight end Matt Lauter, and guard Layden Robinson. These cuts were made to accommodate new additions following the team’s rookie minicamp tryouts.
The Raiders announced the following players as the latest additions to the roster:
- Safety Devyn Perkins
- Offensive tackle Niklas Henning
- Tight end Patrick Gurd
- Offensive tackle Kamar Missouri
The roster adjustments reflect Kubiak’s vision for the 2026 season, as the team continues to refine its lineup through strategic personnel changes.
