Howard to a contract, the Raiders now have a pair of reliable vets with the addition of Hooper.</p><p>Hooper enters his eighth season in the NFL this year after spending the first four years of his professional career with the Atlanta Falcons, where he carved out both of his Pro Bowl seasons in 2018 and 2019.</p><p>Following a career year in 2019 that saw Hooper catch 75 passes for 787 receiving yards and six touchdowns, he cashed in on a four-year, $42 million contract with the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>Hooper’s tenure in Cleveland would only last two seasons though as he was unable to replicate his success from his time in Atlanta.</p><p>Last season Hooper played well in a backup role for the Tennessee Titans.

After sending <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/darren-wallers-strong-message-to-giants-fans-ahead-of-2023-season" rel="noopener">Darren Waller</a> to the New York Giants in a blockbuster trade, the Raiders are doing their due diligence in <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1637934052719349760?s=20" rel="noopener">rebuilding their TE room</a>, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>Austin Hooper will be entering his eighth season in the NFL after spending last year in Nashville playing with the Tennessee Titans. Before Tennessee, he spent two seasons with the Cleveland Browns from 2020-2021, and played four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons prior to that.</p><p>If he ends up in Las Vegas, Austin Hooper will look to reclaim a form he hasn’t shown since his last two seasons in Atlanta. Hooper posted back-to-back career seasons as a Falcon in 2018 and 2019. He had over 70 receptions and 4+ touchdowns each of those last two years.</p><p>The Raiders are looking to rejuvenate a TE room that was unexpectedly dismantled. Darren Waller is one of the top athletes at the position in the entire NFL, but reported strife between him and Head Coach Josh McDaniels seemed to lead to his departure. Darren Waller’s newly-wed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-darren-waller-wife-kelsey-plum-savagely-disses-raiders-hc-josh-mcdaniels" rel="noopener">Kelsey Plum</a> implied the deal occurred because McDaniels was not invited to the wedding.</p><p>Hooper would be joining a Las Vegas Raiders team that is undergoing a complete overhaul in general. Along with Waller, QB Derek Carr will be playing in New Orleans next season after spending his entire career so far as a Raider. As of right now, Hooper would be catching passes from QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Of course, there is a high possibility the Raiders will be selecting a quarterback in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft.</p><p>It remains to be seen if Austin Hooper will join OJ Howard as the tight end representation in Las Vegas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It makes sense why the team likes to have multiple starting-caliber tight ends on the roster, as they each play an important role. However, Austin Hooper could be in line to be a major contributor as the team shifts away from Odell Beckham Jr.</p><p>Look for Baker Mayfield to throw Hooper’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pittsburgh-made-last-ditch-effort-odell-beckham-jr/">way often throughout this game</a> against the Patriots.

However it ends, Austin Hooper has a nice highlight touchdown catch he can add to his collection. Keep an eye on him, as he could be in line for a multiple touchdown day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
