Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie announced the signing of three more players to reserve/future contracts on Monday.

The Raiders have announced that they have signed linebacker Frank Beltre, center Jarrod Shaw, and cornerback Neiko Thorpe to reserve/future contracts.

The addition of the newest three makes that 13 new players signed to reserve/future contracts by the Raiders since the season ended.

Beltre played defensive end while at Towson University but has since moved to the outside linebacker position in the NFL with his 6-foot-2, 240-pound frame.

Shaw has spent time with the Cleveland Browns after playing both guard positions, and left tackle, while at the University of Tennessee.

Thorpe originally signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2012 out of the University of Auburn. After being released on August 25, 2013, Thorpe signed an agreement with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
