Reggie McKenzie announced Monday that the Raiders have claimed former Browns WR Greg Little off is waivers.

Little is entering his fourth season in the NFL after appearing in 48 games (41 starts) with the Browns.

In his three years with the Browns, little hauled in 155 receptions for 1,821 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

The former running back has shown glimpses of talent but has not been able to consistently produce after being selected in the second round (59th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. He has also had off-the-field issues such as driving his car 127 mph, resulting in a crash and being cited for drag racing.

Should little find a way to be a consistent wide receiver, he could become a solid contributor to the Raiders roster.

The Raiders also signed linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu and cornerback Janson Watson.
