Two days after signing one of the top special-teams players in the NFL as a free agent, the Oakland Raiders added another of the most active special-teamers in the league on Wednesday.

The Raiders announced on Wednesday afternoon that they had signed safety Brynden Trawick to a one-year contract.

An All-Sun Belt selection as the conference's leading tackler in 2012 for Troy, Trawick had spent his three NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before becoming a free agent last week.

On Monday, Oakland signed former Auburn linebacker Daren Bates, who served as the St. Louis Rams' special-teams captain during the 2015 season.

Trawick made his only NFL start in 2015, but his niche was as a special-teamer. He was on the field for 87 defensive snaps and 394 special-teams plays. Only seven NFL players had more appearances on special teams in 2015.

In 2014, his first full season with Baltimore, Trawick was in for 322 special-teams plays and 53 defensive snaps.

Trawick joined the NFL as an undrafted free agent, making the Ravens' practice squad before being brought up for eight games in the 2013 season.

If the season started today, Trawick probably would be Oakland's free safety. Excepting strong safety Nate Allen from the totals, the other four safeties on the Raiders' roster have played in a combined 23 NFL games with no starts. Oakland is expected to continue to look for safety help in free agency or the NFL Draft.
