Raiders signed OL Spencer Burford, formerly of the 49ers, to a one-year contract.

18 March 2026

Burford reunites with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, who was on the 49ers’ offensive staff in 2023. The 25-year-old Burford started 16 games as a rookie and 13 more in 2023. Primarily playing the guard spot, he finished 2025 with a 62.6 PFF run blocking grade, No. 43 among guards. Though he was not as effective in pass blocking, Burford offers depth with the ability to start if needed. The Raiders continue to bulk up their offensive line ahead of the potential selection of QB Fernando Mendoza in April’s draft.
