Darnay Holmes Joins Falcons, Raiders Rebuild Defense

For the NFL, it's March 18th. Here's what's happening.

Raiders free agent cornerback, Darnay Holmes, has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

He joins a group of Las Vegas players finding new teams this off season.

Holmes spent the past two seasons with the Raiders.

He appeared in 29 games with one start, stepping up late in the 2024 season after Nate Hobbs got injured.

There he had three pass breakups and he kept contributing after Hobbs left in free agency.

A former fourth-round pick out of UCLA, Holmes spent his first four NFL years with the New York Giants.

That's where he earned 11 of his 12 career starts and grabbed all four of his interceptions.

Meanwhile, the Raiders are rebuilding their defense under new head coach Clint Kubiak.

Patcha Graham is out, with Rob Leonard stepping in as defensive coordinator.

They've already added slot corner Terran Johnson and returning safety, Jeremy Chinn can play that spot too.

So Holmes heads to Atlanta as Las Vegas reshuffles its secondary.
